FAQ |Universal Rewind

Question 1

Can we repair/rewind any motor?

Accepted Answer

In short, yes. But just because we can doesn’t mean we should. There is a cost-benefit analysis that should be considered. You may have a motor that is off of a pressure washer that cost you $2000, 5 years ago. That motor is maybe $400 new (if you can find one), however, the repair might cost $1500. We would usually recommend a repair if the cost of repair is 70% or less of what a new motor would cost. If you can’t find that replacement, however, your choice is to repair that motor or replace the whole Pressure Washer (in this case). The repair of the motor may give you another 7-8 years of use of your equipment.

Question 3

Do you repair household motors? (Drills, Blenders, Hobbyshop Lathe motors)

Accepted Answer

We do have the ability to repair residential usage motors, but it is usually not the most economical – meaning (similar to question 1) a repair of these motors will generally be much more expensive than buying a new motor. Our business model is set up to serve Industrial clients, from our shop setup, shop rates, and the parts we stock – we are not the best choice for residential repairs.
