When looking for a local petroleum and lubrication equipment distributor in Southern Arizona, here are some key questions to ask.

What brands do you carry, and what made you partner with those brands?

You want to find out if the company works with reputable, well-known, and trusted brands that have been in the industry for a long time. These brands partner with local distributors with demonstrated experience and a commitment to quality, so it’s a good sign if your distributor works with national and global brands recognized in the industry.

Can you meet the specific OEM specs and unique needs of my equipment and projects?

You’ll need to find out if the distributor can ensure OEM specs are met so that all of the parts and products in your system work together perfectly and harmoniously. Lubricants and fuel should be compatible with your system, and replacement parts should be specifically designed for the equipment you have. You also want to partner with a distributor that can meet the evolving needs of your projects, and any environment-specific requirements of your facility or job site.

What technical support and maintenance do you offer?

Find out if the distributor offers any technical support or maintenance for the equipment or products they sell. Will they refer you to the manufacturer, or can they offer expertise and recommendations targeted to your needs and industry? 

What is your delivery service area?

If the distributor offers delivery of equipment or supplies, you’ll want to know what their delivery area and schedule are.

Can you assist with unexpected shortages or equipment breakdowns? 

You also want to know if the company has a plan for meeting demand during unexpected shortages or supply chain issues. For instance, are most of their products sourced from overseas companies who will be impacted by supply chain problems or tariffs? You want to know that you have a long-term solution for the products and equipment you need. You should also find out if they handle urgent or time-sensitive requests for equipment due to breakdowns so that you can avoid downtime.

Do you have a minimum order requirement, and do you offer volume discounts?

Before you start working with a new company, you want to know what the expectations are. While you want to ensure you’re entering into a reliable, long-term relationship, you also want to consider your future needs and budget so that you don’t get locked into an arrangement that won’t work for you in a few years. You also want to know if you can save money by placing high-volume orders.
