AllClaveParts was founded in 2006 by Wally Ashbaugh
The idea of helping people repair their autoclaves came about when he was working on equipment in an Oral Surgeon's office. They had a Pelton Crane OCR autoclave that they had been told was not worth repairing and asked Wally to haul it off for them
He loaded it into his vehicle, and as he drove back to his home office, he was thinking about the unit. Somewhere along the way, he decided to put it on the work bench and take a look at it before throwing it away.
Wally did not have a clue about the autoclave. He even had to research to find out what it was supposed to do, and whats more... how to operate it.
Once on the workbench, he managed to figure out how to take the cabinet off and looked at everything with a flashlight... when he noticed a wire hanging down underneath the chamber and touching the bottom floor of the autoclave.
The wire had burn marks on it. Closer inspection showed the insulation had eroded off of the wire and the bare wire was touching the metal bottom floor... shorting it out. He replaced the wire, added water, plugged it in... and it completed the cycle perfectly!
The Repair Company Had Lied To His Client, In Order To Sell Them A New Autoclave.
He started talking to some of his dentist friends, as well as other clients and found they were consistently being taken advantage of when it came to their autoclave repairs and maintenance.
He then started researching everything he could find about autoclaves. Wally established a network of engineers and friends in the industry and began working on the autoclaves himself, to learn how to troubleshoot and how to make the repairs, and for the experience of actually repairing them... so he could help others do the same

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
