On This Page

PT Turbo rebuilds and remanufactures turbochargers in-house at our San Bernardino, CA shop. 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 folks right here in San Bernardino who need a turbocharger rebuilt and want to work with a local shop instead of shipping their unit across the country. Our shop sits at 346 S I St. #3, just off the 215 in downtown San Bernardino, and you are welcome to drop your turbo off in person and pick it up the same way once it is finished. No mailing labels, no waiting on a carrier, just bring it in.

We have been rebuilding turbochargers since 1978, and we still do the work the right way. Every unit gets fully disassembled, inspected, cleaned, fitted with new bearings, seals, and a balanced rotating assembly, then VSR balanced before it goes back together. Whether you pulled the turbo yourself or your mechanic dropped it off for you, we treat every job the same way.

If you would rather mail your turbo in, we offer nationwide service too. But if you are local, dropping by in person means you can talk to the people actually doing the work and get a straight answer on what your turbo needs.

  • San Bernardino drivers who want to hand their turbo to a local shop and skip the shipping hassle
  • Diesel truck owners in the Inland Empire dealing with a worn or leaking turbo
  • DIY mechanics who pulled their own turbo and need it rebuilt fast
  • Local repair shops looking for a nearby rebuilder they can trust with customer units

  • Anyone nearby who wants to talk to a real person before and after the work is done

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to drop off my turbo?
No appointment is needed for drop-off. Just bring your turbo by 346 S I St. #3 during business hours and we will get you taken care of.
How long does a turbo rebuild take if I drop it off locally?
Most rebuilds are done in a few business days, and local drop-offs avoid shipping time entirely. We will give you a clear timeline when you bring the unit in.
Can I wait while you rebuild my turbo?
Most rebuilds take longer than a single visit, so we will set up a pickup time when you drop off. If you have a simple case, ask us and we will let you know what is possible.
Do I have to remove the turbo from my vehicle first?
Yes, we rebuild the turbocharger as a unit, so it needs to be removed before drop-off. If you need a referral to a local installer, just ask.
What part of San Bernardino are you located in?
We are at 346 S I St. #3, in downtown San Bernardino just off the 215 freeway. It is an easy stop for anyone in the Inland Empire.
Do you rebuild diesel and gas turbos?
Yes, we rebuild turbochargers for diesel trucks, gas vehicles, and performance applications. Bring it in and we will tell you exactly what it needs.
How do I pay and pick up my finished turbo?
We will call you when the rebuild is complete, and you can pay and pick up in person at the shop. It is the same easy process as drop-off.
What if my turbo can’t be rebuilt?
If the core is too far gone, we will tell you straight and talk through your options. We will never put your money into a unit that is not worth saving.
