“Our goal is to keep a customer for at least 25 years,” is what our Father told us to do when we began helping him. 

Bobby Edens began selling auto parts and shop supplies 60 years ago. His ambitions led Coastal Equipment Incorporated where it is today: The southeast’s most reliable equipment source.

Beginning in the late 1980’s our family’s distributor warehouse has sold, installed, and serviced hundreds of shops, with thousands of equipment units including lifts, wheel service, brake lathes, compressors, pipe benders, NC state emissions computers, alignment computers, and much more.

Second generation sales and service just makes sense.  Rodney helped our Father in the beginning with sales, installations, and servicing equipment. Besides being the best lathe technician, Rodney brought on board EASE Diagnostics, enabling him to assist customers with all sorts of questions.

Sonya began selling before she even knew how automotive brakes worked! Now, 25 years later, with a heart for customer relations, (and a little training from the masters,) the automotive shop equipment business is in her blood. Managing operations and helping customers find the perfect tool for their shop is her strength.

Following our Father’s agenda, we aim to earn our customer’s respect, and confidence by  offering them good quality equipment, a fair deal, and being certain to treat them right.

Taking pride in our personal attention to customer’s needs, we love our customers. We love to talk to them directly, preferring real people conversations over digital connections. When you are ready to make a purchase or have questions regarding our products or company, please give us a call!
