"The automotive service bay has a distinct set of technology needs that most device manufacturers can’t address,” said Joey Hendrich, co-owner, AE Tools & Computers. “Durabook Americas offered a device with the ruggedness, performance and flexibility our customers expect, but also the willingness to customize a relationship that worked with our business model. That’s a rarity in today’s market.” 

“Each company we work with has its own set of needs driven by the market they operate in, the user environment, and what their brand stands for,” said Joe Guest, President, Durabook Americas. “AE Tools is known for quality diagnostics solutions and a lifetime commitment to their product. This gives their customers piece-of-mind and makes the two of us a great match. We built the Durabook brand around quality and longterm commitment to the customer, which allows us to help AE Tools deliver these same values to their customers.”
