Philadelphia Gear questions
How much does gear repair cost compared to buying new?
A quality rebuild typically runs 30-60% of new-unit cost — and skips the 16-30 week factory lead time on industrial units. Small ancillary boxes run $1,000-5,000; heavy mill and oilfield gearboxes $10,000-100,000+. We publish both numbers plus a cash offer for your unit as-is. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
How fast can you turn a repair around?
Standard rebuilds ship in 8-12 business days — typically 2-3 days faster than standard shops — and 24-72 hour emergency service is available with free rush freight both directions. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
What if the unit isn't worth repairing?
We tell you straight, and we're the only shop that makes the alternative easy: we'll buy the failed unit for cash, and can source a tested used or surplus replacement — often faster and cheaper than repair on small frames. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
