Heavy Equipment Repair — Frequently Asked Questions · Fontana, CAThe eight-step route every job takes
One disciplined path carries each repair from the first call to a tested component or machine returned to work.

Condition and findings are documented so the repair conversation stays clear and honest.
Repair quote
A quote is prepared for the recommended work before any of it proceeds.
Approval
We confirm the scope and urgency, and agree the practical path forward.
Manufacturing
Machining, welding, rebuilding or reverse engineering produces the components required.

Shipment
The completed component or equipment is returned to service.
Frequently asked questions
How do a repair, a rebuild and an overhaul differ?
A repair corrects the failure itself. A rebuild brings a complete component or system back to specification. An overhaul renews the machine across all its major systems. The guide linked in this page's related links walks through how to choose between them.
Can you take on older machines whose parts are discontinued?
Yes — reverse engineering and manufacturing obsolete gears, shafts and components is one of this shop's core capabilities.
How can I tell whether my machine is worth repairing?
Begin with the free documented inspection. We walk you through the machine's condition system by system and price out the options — including the honest option of leaving it unrepaired.
What brands do you service?
Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, Case, Bobcat, Kubota, New Holland, Hitachi, Volvo and others — we are an independent shop, not a dealership.
Do you recondition machines so they can be resold?
Yes — complete reconditioning and refurbishment, including rust removal and body work, is everyday work here.
