Not sure what's wrong?
Describe the symptom or read us the alarm. A tech will tell you honestly what it’s likely to be.
Why a local team
Local techs, not a national service contract
Big maintenance companies sell long contracts and staff your plant from far away. We work the other way.
| LocalSpindle | |
|---|---|
| Who answers | A tech who can talk about your machine, not a call center. |
| Who comes | The nearest tech, from a van stocked for the job. |
| What you sign | Nothing to get a repair. PM plans are built around your machines. |
| What you get after | A written summary: what failed, what we did, what to watch. |
| Who sells you the next machine | The same team that keeps it running. |
How it works
How a service call works
The same process on every call, so your supervisor always knows what’s happening and what comes next.
Call or text
Tell us the machine, the control and the alarm number or symptom. Text a photo of the screen if you can. You talk to a tech, not a dispatcher reading a script.
Triage by phone
Some problems end on the phone: a parameter, a reset sequence, a door switch. If not, we tell you what we suspect and what we’re bringing.
The nearest van rolls
The tech closest to your shop takes the job, with the meters, tools and common parts the problem is likely to need.
Find it and fix it
We trace the fault to its cause, explain it in plain words, and fix it on site when the part is on the van. If a part has to be ordered, you get the part number, the lead time and the price before we order.
Report and prevent
You get a written summary: what failed, what we did, what we’d watch. If the same failure is likely to come back, we’ll say so and suggest the maintenance that stops it.
