Body shops across West Virginia are upgrading to GYS welding technology to maintain OEM certifications and win more DRP business.
West Virginia winters are among the harshest in the Appalachian region — significant snow, ice, and freeze-thaw damage generates some of the highest per-capita structural collision volumes in the eastern US, making reliable frame and welding equipment essential, not optional.
Lombard Equipment is proud to offer the full GYS welding line — the most technologically advanced welding systems available for the collision repair industry. GYS employs over 900 engineers and specialists worldwide, with more than 90 dedicated to R&D, and their systems are tested and approved by the world's largest automakers.

Lombard Equipment sold Pro Spot for many years — and we know the product well. Pro Spot built a strong reputation in U.S. collision repair, and it's still one of the most recognized names in the industry.
In recent years, however, we've seen a meaningful decline in Pro Spot's parts availability, software support, and OEM approval updates. After careful consideration, Lombard Equipment made the decision to stop selling new Pro Spot equipment and transition our primary recommendation to GYS — which now holds broader OEM approvals, receives regular software updates, and is backed by a stronger U.S. support network.
We're not here to talk you out of Pro Spot. We're here to give you the honest picture that comes from having sold both — so you can make the best decision for your West Virginia shop.
We carry certified refurbished Pro Spot equipment — including the i4 480v and Hybrid models — inspected and ready for service.
