Pumping Unit Service & Repair Across the Permian Basin
When a unit goes down, every day it isn’t pumping costs you. We inspect, quote, and repair conventional, Lufkin Mark, and air-balanced units — in our shop or out on your lease. And because the parts are already on our shelf, we get you back online in days, not weeks.
Tell us what’s down. We’ll come look and give you a straight bid.
What We Do
Shop and Field Repair, Backed by Our Own Parts
We’ve been repairing pumping units on the I-20 in Midland since 1985 — in our shop and out on the lease. Our crews handle conventional, Lufkin Mark, and air-balanced units: bearings, gearboxes, structural repairs, and full rebuilds.
What sets us apart isn’t just the crew — it’s the inventory behind them. Most repair delays come from waiting on a part. We don’t wait: the bearings, housings, wrist-pins, gears, and pinions your repair needs are already in our yard.
The In-Stock-Parts Advantage
Parts on the Shelf Mean Days Off Your Downtime
When most shops hit a worn bearing or a cracked housing mid-repair, they order the part — and your unit sits. We don’t. We carry the largest pump jack parts inventory in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, so we swap parts on the spot and keep the job moving. On a typical repair, that’s the difference between days down and weeks down.
A lot of our competitors know it too — they buy their parts from us. And if a part for an older unit isn’t on the shelf, we machine it ourselves on our HAAS centers. We’ve been stocking and making pumping unit parts for forty years — including for units nobody else can find parts for.

We Send a Bid
A clear quote to repair — no beating around the bush on price. If a unit’s too far gone to be worth fixing, we’ll tell you that too, and we can sell you a replacement.
4
We Make the Repair
Once you approve, we get on it — usually within about a week — and the in-stock parts keep the repair itself fast.
5
You Get the Invoice
Sent the morning after the work’s done. No surprises.
Field Service
We Bring the Crew and the Iron to You
When the job’s on your lease, our field crews roll out with everything needed to finish it: crane trucks, bucket trucks, and haul trucks. Each crew runs a crane operator leading the crew, a lead swamper on the bucket truck, and a third hand — four crews working the field, plus haul trucks for moving units in and out.
From our main yard on the I-20, we cover roughly a 100–150 mile radius across the Permian Basin and into Southeastern New Mexico. We don’t promise a set response time — what we promise is that when we say we’ll be there, we show up with the parts and the people to get the job done.

FAQ
Service & Repair — Common Questions
What kinds of units do you repair?
Conventional, Lufkin Mark, and air-balanced pumping units — in the shop or out in the field.
How fast can you get to my unit?
We come inspect quickly, and once you approve the bid we typically get on the repair within about a week. Because our parts are in stock, the repair itself often runs days faster than shops that have to order parts.
Do you do field service or only shop work?
Both. Our crane, bucket, and haul-truck crews work leases across the Permian — roughly a 100–150 mile radius.
What if my unit isn’t worth repairing?
We’ll tell you straight — and we can sell and set a refurbished replacement.
Do you warranty your repairs?
On bearings and certain parts, yes. To keep the warranty in force, the parts have to stay within spec and Snelson’s has to stay the one servicing the unit — call and we’ll spell out what’s covered on your repair.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?
We’re not a formal 24-hour service, but Tim and Dillon keep their phones on — it’s not unusual to get a call answered at 9 or 10 at night. Call and we’ll figure out your situation.
