Robert Moyer
Costco Wholesale
"Costco relies exclusively on Excel Tire Inflators in all of our 507 US and Canadian Tire Centers. After years of testing and use, we find that the Excel Tire Inflators are both reliable and durable. Our initial goal was to provide accurate tire pressure to our Members, but we quickly realized that in doing so, the Excel Inflation System actually improved productivity in the tire installation and inflation top off processes. The Excel Tire Inflation System also improved safety for our technicians by allowing them to stay a greater distance from the tire and wheel assembly during the bead seating and inflation process."

Jim Melvin Sr.
Melvin's Tire Pros
"We purchased 2 Excel air pumps approximately 6 years ago. They were one of the best equipment purchases we ever made. First in this day and age it is virtually impossible to find free air stations. Even the ones you pay for are expensive and difficult to use. Sometimes after you put your money in you find they don't work. We installed the air stations in a place in our lot that was easy to get to and yet out of our way. I could not believe how popular they became. Sometimes we even have cars lined up for their use. This is a great and inexpensive way to bring new customers to your place of business. It also eliminates the many low pressure lights that occur every year in the first cold days of winter.Excellent product and their service is good."
