Why do I have a lot of shopping carts that are beyond repair after service?
A: Most of the big shopping cart service companies only fix easy to repair equipment. Shopping carts have replacement parts for every thing that can go bad. Those companies don’t remove wheels that have factory rivets, they don’t repair broken welds or retouch the rusty areas. These companies are costing the stores more than the repair cost. Every cart or equipment they do not want to repair means you have to buy more carts and pay to have what they would not fix removed from your store. These are both costly expenses. 
Why am I losing so many shopping carts?
A: Customers are going to take the shopping carts with them after shopping. A reliable recovery company can check the neighborhoods before service and every two weeks. This will bring your shopping carts back to you and prevent you from buying more replacement carts.
