Do you work on all California Air Tools models?

Should I repair or replace my air compressor?
A air compressor typically lasts about 8 to 15 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
