Tolbert Electric Motor Co Inc

Tolbert Electric Motor Co Inc has served Garland and the greater Dallas metro area since the 1970s, building a reputation as a specialized electric motor repair shop rather than a general HVAC contractor. With 140 customer reviews averaging 4.4 stars, the shop handles repairs for residential and commercial equipment including pool pumps, HVAC blower motors, air compressor motors, and condenser cooling fans. Located at 2202 Main St in Garland, the family-operated business opens at 7:30 AM Monday through Friday and welcomes walk-in customers needing parts or diagnostic assistance.

What distinguishes Tolbert Electric from typical service companies is their commitment to repair over replacement. Multiple reviewers note the shop saved them significant money by diagnosing and fixing motors rather than recommending new equipment purchases. A 5 HP air compressor repair cost a fraction of the $1,500 replacement quote the customer received elsewhere. The technicians understand that a well-repaired motor can perform as reliably as a new unit, and they communicate options clearly without upselling unnecessary purchases.

Customer stories from the reviews illustrate the hands-on service approach. John Farmer called on a Wednesday needing a pool pump operational by Friday for a pool party, and Shon had the correct part ready when he arrived without delay. Jeff Tevonian brought in a failed air compressor motor other shops wanted to replace entirely, and Tolbert repaired it for a fraction of the new motor cost. Travis Tibbs has returned repeatedly for pool pump repairs over the years, trusting the shop to restore motors that other technicians would have discarded.
