OUR CORE HISTORY  

We know how tough the Industry is,
 

WE'VE BEEN IN IT FOR OVER 50 YEARS!

.....And we can show you how to be more profitable!
 
We know that finding suppliers you can count on is one of the key elements in any business endeavour. Especially if that supplier can show you how to be more profitable. Fortunately, that’s one of our really strong points! We specialize in products and parts that either make one core work in another application, or replace a hard to find or salvage part. We know that time is your enemy, and a large segment of our product line was developed because we received specific requests for help. Don't try and reinvent the wheel! We may have already solved your problem for somebody else. In fact, among the thousands of engines, transmissions, cranks and other components we have in stock, the answer to your problem may be sitting right on one of our shelves.
 
Excluding the Great Depression, and the war years, today's environment is the toughest it's ever been for the rebuilding industry. We know, we’ve been in it since 1949. One small truck and lots of family grit and determination have built EngineQuest and our marketing partner AA Midwest into what they are today. A premiere supplier of rebuildable engine cores and a huge auto parts wholesaler serving the production engine rebuilder.
 
With one of the largest inventories of engine, transmission and internal part cores, AA Midwest continues to be a leading supplier source for engine and transmission rebuilders.
 
Between its warehouses in Chicago and North Las Vegas, AA Midwest’s inventory includes over 150,000 engines and transmissions and other internal part cores. Established in 1949, AA Midwest is a division of AAEQ Manufacturers and Recyclers and known as the source for hard-to-find cores for import/domestic cars or light trucks (gas or diesel engine).
 
AA Midwest provides valuable information to customers on whether new, remanufactured or reclaimed will work best for the engine or transmission project they are working on. This extensive working knowledge has helped them gain the reputation as the “Partner to the Professional.”
 
“Our employees understand the importance of getting customers what they need,” said Billy Stolberg, president and COO, AAEQ. “We take extra caution in the way we accept, handle, process, store and ship engine and transmission cores and component parts. We know that if it’s a product that is damaged and rebuilders can’t use in their business, then we both lose.”
 
Stolberg, who runs the company’s operations in Chicago, says that in addition to full engines and manual and automatic transmissions, AA Midwest carries crankshafts, camshafts, cylinder heads, torque converters, transfer cases, connecting rods, engine blocks, short blocks and long blocks. “If it isn’t in stock on our shelves in one of our two core storage facilities,” explained Stolberg, “we can get it for you. We’ll work the phones to find precisely the cores you need.”
 
Back in the 40's, our company motto was "Help the rebuilder solve his production problems." Today of course, the message is the same, but the words have changed. Now it's a Mission Statement with facilities in:
 
  • Atlanta, Georgia
  • Long Island, New York
  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Dallas, Texas
  • N. Las Vegas, Nevada
  • Spokane, Washington
