Working on alternators isn't as simple as it used to be. New technology, combined with the increase of foreign units, makes it difficult for the rebuilder to keep up. That's where JIMCO comes in.

We not only provide you with the most reliable test bench on the market today, we provide the information to keep it updated. We DESIGNED it, we BUILD it, we SUPPORT it!
As a small company, JIMCO is able to provide service not found in larger organizations. There's no voice mail at JIMCO. You talk to real people, the same people who designed the test bench, built the test bench, people who can make decisions. There's a good chance your call will be taken by the company president, as he's more interested in alternators and generators than management reports.
In addition to an excellent piece of equipment, JIMCO feels our rebuilder customers deserve our respect. They deserve prompt, accurate answers to their questions. They deserve a machine that's made to last, has minimum down time, and can be kept updated. They deserve their money's worth!
Your test bench is the most important piece of equipment in your shop. Your business is literally riding on it. It should be the best.
It should be a JIMCO!
