A Plus Electric Motor Repair, Inc. repairs, rewinds and replaces industrial electric motors for steel, metal and manufacturing plants in Sterling, Illinois. Sterling and neighboring Rock Falls have a long steel and metalworking history on the Rock River, and we serve plants throughout the Sauk Valley.
Call us to schedule a pickup from your Sterling facility, or ship the motor to our St. Charles shop by freight. If a motor fails after hours, our 24-hour emergency line at (630) 283-8433 gets you a person, not a voicemail box.
