It's frightening.

The desire to save a little money here or a bit of time there can often result in unexpectedly monstrous problems.

That's true in most businesses.

And it's especially true in yours.

By taking a chance on buying parts that aren't genuine GM/EMD parts, you risk losing your money in downtime and unscheduled maintenance.

And because meeting schedules is so vital, unavailable equipment can have serious financial results.

It's a risk not worth taking.

Any part you order from us, at the very least, is made from the same exacting specifications the original gave you. But in many cases you get more than you bargained for.
