 Once again, hello buying world! Today, we want you to get to know the people running the company behind the scenes. 

The founder, Greg Pillar, is the dawn of it all. Greg has forty-five plus years of experience under his belt, including his work at Getman Corporation, which has provided him an excellent knowledge of parts and machines. He gained an interest in finding and rebuilding parts and machines which makes him quite handy for the business he established in 1985.

Following in his footsteps is his son, Scott Pillar. Scott was raised around the manufacturing environment since the age of ten. At first, he started off with simple but dreadful chores, such as sweeping and cleaning the shop. With his direct involvement, he eventually worked himself into his current position as vice president of the company and continues to progressively increase his knowledge on unique parts and machines daily.

Together these men have traveled to multiple places, in and out of the country, gaining even more understanding of various parts for their customers domestically and internationally. Having their leadership develops great product sourcing throughout the company and gives us the ability to identify many of the parts we stock.

The Value of Preventative Maintenance The primary goal of maintenance is to make sure things are operating at a satisfactory level to avoid failure. All technology needs some sort of maintenance at a point in time, whether it be your vehicle, tractor/machinery, heating and cooling systems, or even just a toaster. I have personally seen preventative maintenance not be prioritized at another place I’ve worked. When the program was not prioritized, our toaster broke down and later on short-circuited the rest of the equipment within the store.   After the toaster, it was the coffee brewer, then the water pumps, then the water heater, one breaking down after another. It felt like there was a new problem every day. Luckily, the store eventually went back to normal after 2-3 weeks and after multiple expenses... This situation brought on many inconveniences for us employees and a few guests. The Preventative Maintenance Program creates habits to help maintain a successful bus...

The Power of Comparative Shopping In this era, customer loyalty means a lot less. When shopping, it’s normal for a customer to be uncertain about what they are exactly looking for; most people naturally comparative shop in order to define their actual goal of what they want and need to buy. Without even realizing it, consumer’s attention becomes selective and encodes congruent information of their goal, building certainty over time. Factors like price, quality, features, and sometimes service (like the speed of shipping and supportive assistance, if needed) go into consideration between different brands or locations when comparative shopping. Marketing the business’s sales, and/or the strength of the brand’s presence can also create a greater amount of attraction for the product being compared by consumers. Online shopping helps to put all these factors to compare at the touch of your hands. In fact, 59% of shoppers prefer e-tailing because of that convenience, outpacin...

The Advantages of Surplus Items Buying surplus items can mean different things to different people. Some people are wary of purchasing such items because they believe that the items are no good. Others recognize them as a way to save a fairly significant amount of money. For the latter group of folks, there are great deals to be had. Often times they can find genuine parts without paying the higher costs through a regular retailer or dealer.  Surplus items can come from a variety of sources. These can come from companies closing down, businesses reducing slow selling stock or even from businesses that order excess only to be left with items that cannot be returned to the vendor that they purchased them from. Of course, these are only a few examples. Some companies will sell them to an auction company to relieve themselves of the stock, others send them to the landfill because they cannot find someone to take the items. Either one of these ways means lost profit for th...
