Get those critical welds inspected, folks!

🎃 Some welds are scary enough without a Halloween costume. 👻

Our Certified Weld Inspector came across this one in the field, and let's just say it wasn't exactly giving us warm, fuzzy feelings. 😳

Halloween is the one time of year we're supposed to be scared. Your critical welds shouldn't be.

Get them inspected. Make sure you're getting the quality you paid for.

Because a bad weld isn't just ugly, it can become a serious problem.

Great job Luke!

🎓 Another apprenticeship graduation at Machinery Maintenance!

Congratulations to Luke Keating on completing our Machine Shop Apprenticeship Program! 👏

Ask anyone in the shop about Luke, and you’ll hear the same things: hardworking, a fast learner, and always focused on getting the right outcome. He’s put in the work, continued to learn, and really shined throughout the apprenticeship program.

We’re proud of what Luke has accomplished and excited to see what he tackles next. There’s a lot ahead for him, and we’re glad he’s chosen to grow with us.

Congratulations on this big milestone, Luke, and thank you for all you do! 🔧🎓

We're here to get you back up and running during a critical time in your season! 🍂 🚜

🌽 Harvest season is here and that means things start breaking...

When equipment goes down during harvest, there usually isn’t time to wait weeks for a replacement part or send something across the country.

That’s when things start showing up at our machine shop and fab shops, broken shafts, worn components, cracked parts, damaged equipment and pieces that need to be repaired, rebuilt or made from scratch.

Our teams work hard to get those emergency repairs turned around and get equipment back where it belongs: in the field and moving. Because during harvest, downtime isn't just inconvenient. Every hour matters.

And while we're keeping the equipment moving, a reminder for everyone else on the road:

🚜 Slow down around farm equipment.
👀 Stay alert and expect the unexpected.
📵 Put the phone down.
↔️ Give large equipment plenty of room.
💡 Be patient — they may be moving slower than you're used to.

For our farmers, this is one of the busiest and most important times of the year. Let's help them get the job done, and make sure everyone gets home safely.

Congratulations Joel, an impressive run and hopefully many more to come!

🎉 Another big celebration at On Site Repair Services, Inc !🎉

Joel Miller is celebrating 20 years with us!

Somewhere throughout those 20 years, Joel also managed to welcome five kids into the world, so honestly, we’re not quite sure how he successfully balanced work, home life, and everything in between... but somehow, he did it (we're sure his wife was a big part managing the chaos)! 😄

Joel is one of our go-to mechanical guys in the field and someone we can count on when there’s a problem that needs figuring out. He’s always working through challenges, troubleshooting issues, and bringing his knowledge and experience to the job. One of Joel’s greatest strengths is his versatility. He’s also great with our customers, representing On Site Repair in the field and building the relationships that are so important to our business.

We are incredibly appreciative of everything Joel brings to our team and the dedication he has given over the past 20 years.

Congratulations, Joel! We’re grateful to have you as part of the On Site Repair team! 👏🎉

There’s something special about being part of a business where you can look around and see people who know how to build it, fix it, weld it, machine it, move it, and figure it out when it doesn’t go according to plan. 😂

We’ve got people who have spent decades perfecting their craft, and others who are just getting started and learning from them. That mix of experience, hard work, and willingness to get your hands dirty is what makes this industry and our business so special.

As a family business, we’re incredibly grateful for the people who have helped build this company over the years. The equipment matters. The buildings matter. The customers matter. But at the end of the day, it’s the people who make it all work.

Happy Labor Day {weekend} to all the hardworking people who keep this country moving, especially our employees at MMI, VFI, and OSR! 🔧🔥
