Remanufacturers have long fought a battle.
“We live with the curse of the aftermarket,” says John Ferry, executive vice president of Turbo Solutions. “You get lumped in with all the other people that are doing repairs and rebuilds that are centered around price and not quality. The flag goes up when they hear aftermarket to suspect that the quality is not there.”

Supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic gave remanufacturers like Turbo Solutions the chance to prove themselves. As new parts dwindled, fleets and truck owners turned to remanufacturers to keep their trucks running. And now that parts are moving more freely, some of those truck owners are sticking with them.
