Need and Goals Assessment
Our first stage is grounded in understanding what the customers need because if we do not understand our customers, we can not add value to their businesses. We diligently ask questions and assess each business' unique set of requirements to most effectively determine what is essential to their success.Securing Finances
We understand that most businesses do not readily have the cash on hand to purchase equipment for their workshops and we also understand that many businesses prefer to finance or lease their equipment for accounting and cash flow purposes. As a result, we have partnered with financial organizations that can provide our customers with the necessary financial instruments to meet their short and long term financial and taxation objectives. Let us consider a simple example below:
Example
ABC Garage needs to purchase equipment with a retail value of $12,000.
ABC's accountant has determined that the organization owes $12,000 in income tax payable to the federal government at fiscal year end.
Solution 1
ABC Garage pays for the necessary equipment in cash or through a bank loan.
The company also pays all the taxes at year end to the federal government.
$12,000 in equipment + $12,000 in taxes = $24,000 cost
ABC has incurred an expense of $24,000 to operate the business.
Solution 2
ABC Garage leases the necessary equipment with the help of Ontario Automotive Equipment. The lease does not count towards the business' credit as it is considered a term rental. As a result, every dollar spent through a lease agreement is entirely tax-deductible in the year it was spent. ABC is able to eliminate the income tax owed to the federal government by using the lease expense to offset the taxes payable.
ABC has incurred an expense of $12,000 to operate the business.
Shipping & Installation with all Necessary Modifications
We will ship our equipment from the warehouse to your business and we will perform the mechanical installation in the shop. If the equipment requires special modifications as a result of installation conditions (shorter shop ceiling, for example), we will perform the modifications as necessary and guarantee full equipment functionality. Extra costs may apply.

Your success is important to us - we depend on it.Exceptional Technical Support
