A Plus Electric Motor Repair, Inc. repairs, rewinds and replaces industrial electric motors for steel, port and manufacturing operations in Portage, Indiana. Portage is home to the Port of Indiana at Burns Harbor and nearby steelmaking, and we serve plants throughout Porter County.
Call us to schedule a pickup from your Portage 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.
