Manager: Mike Glover, General Manager Springfield, Mo., location.
Locations: Headquartered in Shelbina, locations in Springfield and Blue Springs, Mo.
Company History: Joe Glover, Mike's father, became part of Northeast Diesel Service in 1976. There was an existing diesel fuel injection shop he purchased. The Springfield store was opened in 1981 and the Blue Springs store in 1991. "My dad is a veteran of Korea where he drove a supply truck and was a mechanic. Upon discharge he received his degree in power technology at CMSU," Mike said. Joe's early work included work at an Oliver Tractor dealership. As Mike tells it, Joe began to consider what would be involved with repairing the injection pumps and injectors on diesel engines himself, instead of sending them off. “So he began to write letters to the major diesel fuel injection manufacturers. He knew he was smart enough to do the repairs. Finally those manufacturers agreed to work with him. He opened the diesel shop in 1976. My brother Kevin, who manages the Shelbina location, and I have grown up in the diesel shop," Mike said.
Products and Services: “We’re specialized in the rebuilding of diesel fuel injector pumps and injectors. We also do repairs on pretty much all diesels. Our repair work is by appointment, depending on the number of pumps and injectors we have to repair. We’re very professional, honest and old school. We’re the only certified diesel fuel injection facility in this area who rebuild fuel injector pumps and injectors. We cover Bosch, Stanadyne, Delphi, Denso, Alliant Power, Zexel, Yanmar, Ambac and many other diesel fuel injection manufacturers.”
What's in the future?
“Everything is moving toward all electronic, to the Common-Rail fuel systems. We are constantly upgrading our calibration machines to try to stay with the times. We’re also going to upgrade our facility. People often judge by what they see when they pull up, so we’re going to improve the building as well.”
