A Plus Electric Motor Repair, Inc. repairs, rewinds and replaces industrial electric motors for manufacturers, food and beverage plants, utilities and commercial buildings in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago is still one of the largest manufacturing cities in the country, and we work with plants from the Northwest Side to the Southwest Side industrial corridors.
Most of Chicago is within our 50-mile free pickup and delivery radius. Call the office to confirm pickup for your address. If a motor fails after hours, our 24-hour emergency line at (630) 283-8433 gets you a person, not a voicemail box.

Motor Repair for Chicago Manufacturing
Chicago’s industrial corridors, including the Kinzie, Pilsen, Stockyards, Clearing, Calumet and Northwest industrial areas, are home to food and beverage processing, metal fabrication, printing, chemical, plastics and distribution operations. Those plants run AC and DC motors, servo motors, gearmotors, washdown motors, vacuum pumps and large pump and blower motors.
We repair and rewind motors up to 650 HP, rebuild gearboxes, repair VFDs and machine shafts and housings in our own shop. Chicago’s large commercial and institutional buildings also rely on us for chiller, cooling tower, air handler and pump motor repair.
