From a Wisconsin Shop to Trusted Solutions Since 1996
Renegade didn’t start as some big national brand with slick ads and huge budgets. It started with something more practical: a need.
A need for machines that clean parts reliably, safely, and without the headaches that come from solvent-based cleaning. Machines that feel solid under everyday use, not fragile curiosities that require special care.
That grounded beginning goes all the way back to 1996, when Renegade first began designing and building parts washers that shops could depend on.
From the outset, the mission wasn’t about bells and whistles — it was about reliable quality, dependable service, American manufacturing, and results. That’s reflected in phrases you’ll see again and again around Renegade products:
Proven Experience | Reliable Quality | Dependable Service | USA Manufactured
Built to Order, Built to Perform
Right from the start, Renegade took a different path than most machine builders.
Some companies make a handful of models and hope they fit most jobs. Renegade starts by listening — to what you clean, how often, what debris you need gone, and how your workflow operates.
That’s why Renegade machines are built to order and custom designed where it matters. Whether it’s a straightforward TMB Automatic Top Load parts washer for general repair cleaning or an I-Series Pass Through Wash, Rinse, Dry parts cleaning system, each one is designed with purpose, not guesswork.
And when off-the-shelf solutions aren’t enough, Renegade’s Industrial Series steps in — tailored systems engineered to meet exact clean specs and workflow demands, with additional options for safety, filtering, fixtures, and control options.
From Solvent Trouble to Aqueous Solutions
Part of what shaped Renegade’s direction early on was the shift away from hazardous solvents. Back in the day, washing parts meant handling flammable chemicals and worrying about safety and disposal.
Renegade set out to do it better and safer — using aqueous, solvent-free detergents and engineering systems that work well with today’s environmental and worker-safety expectations.
That focus has stuck. Every washer and detergent solution is designed to clean effectively without residue, without unnecessary risk, and without unnecessary labor. It’s part of how Renegade makes cleaning simple instead of another headache.
Proven Experience Built on Results
Over the years, the company’s footprint has grown, but the core remains the same: partner with customers, not just sell machines. That’s why industry leaders in automotive, machine shops, heavy repair, production cleaning, and more count on Renegade systems.
And it shows — with 130+ positive reviews from customers who talk less about specs and more about what these systems do for their workflow: reduce cleaning time, eliminate inconsistent wash results, and lower labor costs.
Engineered Here, Built to Last
All Renegade washers are manufactured and distributed by Service Line, Inc. in Reedsburg, Wisconsin.
That’s important for two reasons:
- Local craftsmanship — people who build the machines understand how they’ll be used in real shops.
- Supporting customers long-term — you’re not simply buying a piece of equipment, you are also getting lifetime over the phone support, from people who have hands on experience with our washers that can answer your questions, support the equipment, and talk through your workflow.
That emphasis on real support — not just selling — shows up again and again in how customers talk about their experience.
What Makes Renegade Different
There are plenty of parts washers out there. Renegade focuses on what matters on the floor:
- Reliable performance — machines built to withstand real use.
- Engineered solutions — not just standard models but configured machines to your needs.
- Clean without compromise — solvent-free detergents that work hard and maintain safety standards.
- Partnership over pushy sales — listening before recommending.
That adds up to more than products. It’s a reputation you can see in shops where parts cleaning no longer slows anything down — it just happens.
Looking Ahead
The industry evolves. Machines get smarter, workflows change, and clean specs get tighter. Through it all, Renegade sticks to a simple idea:
Build products that work. Build them for the way people actually work. And always stand behind them.
It’s a straightforward philosophy, but it’s why shops keep choosing Renegade systems — and why the story continues.
