About

Pro Service Built on
Midwest Values

We started as five separate companies across the Midwest. Now we're one team with decades of experience selling, installing, and servicing automotive and heavy-duty equipment.

Who we are

We Sell, Install, and Service Auto Equipment the Midwest Relies On

SLE Technologies is a Midwest-based distributor and service provider for automotive and heavy-duty shop equipment. We work with dealerships, independent repair shops, fleet operators, transit authorities, and municipal operations across the region.

History

From Five Companies to One Stronger Team

SLE Technologies started with a simple idea: run this like a business, not a hobby. What began in the 1980s as Indiana Automotive Equipment — a one-man operation serving local dealerships — has grown into one of the Midwest's leading lift and equipment providers.

Our Values

Our Core Values Guide Everything

These are the values we run our business by, from hiring new team members to our interactions with customers.

Safety First

Safety comes first in everything we do — from the equipment we recommend to how we install and service it. We look out for your team, our technicians, and everyone who works around this equipment.

Plan for Success

We take the time to understand your operation before we recommend anything. Good planning up front — layout, equipment sizing, service schedules — leads to better results down the road.

Persistently Professional

We show up on time, do what we say we will, and hold ourselves to a high standard. That's what professionalism means to us, whether we're installing equipment or answering a service call.

Take Ownership

When we take on a project, we're responsible for the outcome. We keep you in the loop, deliver what we promise, and make sure every commitment is met.
