Pictured: WearCheck Eastern Cape’s new offices with Leon Marshall

WearCheck’s oil and fuel analysis facility recently moved up a gear with the opening of a brand new office to service the Eastern and Southern Cape.

WearCheck introduced oil analysis to the region more than 30years ago – initially with travelling technicians; and later through technical support consultant Leon Marshall, who has serviced an established WearCheck client base from his Port Elizabeth-based home office for the past nine years.

Located in Sidwell, Port Elizabeth, the new office will serve as a meeting venue for WearCheck customers, or as a depot where WearCheck products, such as sampling kits, can be purchased.

Marshall is enthusiastic about the new office. ‘It is situated in Set Point House – the building of our parent company, The Set Point Group – which gives us access to a variety of amenities such as meeting rooms and convenient access to our products and services.

‘The location in the industrial suburb of Sidwell is very convenient for the majority of our customers for the collection of sample kits. In addition, I will continue to provide a delivery service of WearCheck products to customers in the PE metro area.’

‘For convenience, certain sample kits are pre-labelled with the WearCheck laboratory address. So once a customer has taken the sample, they simply drop the sealed kit off at the nearest post office’, said Marshall. ‘For faster turnaround time, there are courier options.’

While the majority of Marshall’s customers require industrial or automotive oil analysis, he also covers fuel (petrol and diesel), engine coolant and transformer oil analysis.

A mechanical engineer by profession, Marshall provides technical backup to customers in an area stretching from Umzimkulu on the KZN border, all the way to Mossel Bay in the Southern Cape.After graduating from UCT he spent over 20 years administering fleets of construction equipment before joining WearCheck. He has been located in the Eastern Cape for 33 years and is familiar with many of the technical players in the region.

WearCheck Port Elizabeth’s new offices are located at 34 Cadle Street, Sidwell, Port Elizabeth.
