Why A&E Bearing? Our Story Since 1976

Our Story

On September 1st, 1976, A&E Bearing opened its doors to the public for the very first time. My grandfather, Alex Serrano, decided to put his decades of knowledge and experience into a local parts store that could serve Madera’s agricultural community.

Alex was a meticulous, intelligent, and extremely hard-working man who always put the customer first. The business grew rapidly, and before long, my father, Randy, came aboard to give my grandpa a hand.

Over the years, “The Shop,” as we lovingly call it in our family, became a local institution.

In 2012, shortly after I’d graduated college, I eagerly joined the family business.

Our Mission

At A&E, our mission is simple:

  • To keep as much local stock as possible for our agricultural and industrial clients.

  • To offer the best customer service.

  • To provide the best possible prices.

  • To grow and maintain the critical client relationships that have helped this business thrive for nearly half a century.

  • To continue acting as good stewards of this business, so that it may live to be at least one hundred years old.

To anyone who’s ever done business with us — you have the sincerest thanks and gratitude of my family. I hope we never let you down.
