I think now they&#8217;re all running very close in their operation and their capability and that stuff. The machines themselves run very closely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point of difference for me is after-market service and support. So how easy is it for me to get a spare part? How many people do they have on the road to service my gear?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I ring up, do they drop everything, do they send someone out or am I waiting for a callback? So those aftermarket things have become really important. EEA in my opinion is very good at that after-market support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>EEA offers unbeatable after-market support in the form of spare parts delivery and also a quality field service team that services Case Construction and all other brands of machinery across NSW and QLD, including excavator service, skid steer service, wheel loader service and more.<\/p>\n<p>Having a trusted service team was an important factor for Geoff and Rick Davis Contracting when deciding what excavator to purchase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat made a huge difference to me and my choice for these machines. I have fixed service agreements with EEA on all of my Kubota&#8217;s now, not just my Case gear,\u201d says Geoff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEEA is servicing my new Kubota excavators here, I have like five or six new Kubota\u2019s you&#8217;re looking after those items. That gives me the surety that firstly, they&#8217;re going to be serviced at the correct intervals. Secondly, I&#8217;m going to get reports when they&#8217;re done and thirdly it&#8217;s one thing off my head that I\u2019m not having to think about because you come back to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why Choose Case<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Case excavators are known to be extremely durable and reliable, which is perfect for Australian conditions. Operators can also enjoy improved comfort and useability, which is a trademark of Case excavators.<\/p>\n<p>Another point of interest when it comes to Case excavators is fuel efficiency.
