Solution orientated, service focused
Brad Jones Racing was looking for an air compressor solution that covered all their air needs, from powering the CNC machines for component manufacturing to air for paint spray guns, tooling and everything in between. The Pilot Air technical team completed a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the workshop and understood the needs and challenges to ensure the BJR team could work at their best with reliable and supercharged compressed air when needed.
“We build the cars from the ground up at our Albury workshop. The proficiency of the operation is paramount. The primary power source is air, and having a reliable source of clean air is extremely important. We chose Pilot Air because they’re experts in their field and provided viable solutions to improve our business,” says Kim Jones, part of Brad Jones Racing.
