Turbo Rebuild Service for Repair Shops

PT Turbo rebuilds and remanufactures turbochargers in-house at our San Bernardino, CA shop, serving customers like you. Every unit goes through a full teardown, OEM-spec or better parts replacement, CIMAT VSR balancing, and final quality inspection — backed by a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty.

About This Service

This page is for independent diesel and performance repair shops that handle their own engine and drivetrain work but don’t rebuild turbochargers in-house. Instead of buying expensive new units or gambling on remanufactured turbos of unknown quality, you send your customer’s turbo to us, we rebuild it to spec, and you install it and bill your customer. You keep the relationship and the markup. We do the bench work.

We have been remanufacturing turbos in San Bernardino since 1978, and over the decades we have built a wholesale program designed around how busy shops actually operate. That means clear pricing, real phone support from people who know turbos, and turnaround times you can quote your customer with confidence. You don’t need a CHRA balancing machine, a parts inventory, or a tech who specializes in cartridges. You just need a reliable partner.

If you are a shop owner weighing whether to keep sending turbo work to a distant rebuilder, a parts counter, or trying to source new replacements every time, this page lays out how our partner program works and why other shops in the diesel and performance space rely on us.

Who This Is For

• Fleet maintenance shops that service their own vehicles but outsource turbo remanufacturing

2. Complete disassemblythe turbocharger is fully torn down and every major component is inspected individually.
3. Cleaningcomponents are cleaned to remove carbon, oil residue, rust, and contamination.
4. Measurementcritical tolerances are measured against OEM specification.
5. Reassemblyrebuilt using new wear components matched to your specific model.
6. CIMAT VSR balancingthe rotating assembly is balanced in-house, with a balance report included.

Pricing

Most rebuilds require inspection before final pricing. Standard rebuild pricing depends on the turbo model, parts availability, wheel condition, shaft condition, housing damage, and whether upgrades are requested. PT Turbo inspects every turbo and sends a quote before any work begins — no surprise charges.
