Cummins diesel engines are known for their durability and reliability, but like any other mechanical system, they can suffer from wear and tear and require repairs or rebuilds. With the added pressure to return to the road as soon as possible, deciding who will fix your vehicle becomes paralyzing. Make Protrans Automotive in Belvedere Heights, California, your Cummins repair shop. Our team of knowledgeable and experienced diesel technicians is ready to help!
Diesel truck mechanics are skilled technicians specializing in repairing and maintaining diesel trucks. They diagnose and fix issues with the engine, transmission, and brakes and remove and replace problematic parts to keep the truck running smoothly. They perform routine maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and battery checks and replace and repair damaged parts. Diesel truck mechanics use diagnostic tools and equipment to diagnose problems, such as engine analyzers and powertrain control modules.
Diesel truck mechanics perform various tasks to diagnose, repair and maintain diesel trucks. Their duties include:
An additional task that Diesel truck mechanics are skilled in is the rebuild process. Since diesel engines are cost-intensive to repair, they are rebuilt regularly, generally when a vehicle has driven more than one hundred thousand miles. Mechanics disassemble the engines, replace old parts, and reassemble the engines.
Protrans Automotive offers Cummins diesel engine and truck repair services for heavy-duty vehicles. They have a team of highly skilled technicians with expertise in repairing and maintaining diesel trucks, including those equipped with Dodge Cummins engines.
Diesel engine repair services include diagnostics, routine maintenance, and repairs. The diagnostic process is the first step in identifying any issues with the engine, and it is essential to get an accurate diagnosis to avoid costly repairs. Diesel mechanics use various tools and equipment, such as engine analyzers and powertrain control modules, to diagnose problems.
Once the issue has been identified, the repair process can begin. This can include replacing parts, such as the turbocharger, injectors, or water pump, or repairing existing parts. Repairs can range from simple tasks like fixing a leaky gasket to more complex repairs like rebuilding the engine.
In some cases, a rebuild may be necessary, especially if the engine has sustained significant damage or has high mileage. A rebuild involves disassembling the engine, cleaning and inspecting each component, and repairing or replacing damaged parts. The engine is then reassembled and tested to ensure it is functioning properly.
Routine maintenance is also important to keep your Cummins diesel engine running efficiently. This can include regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and coolant flushes. Regular maintenance can help extend your engine’s life and prevent potential problems from developing into more serious issues.

Truck running in limp mode. Message to service exhaust system now. Called and they told me to bring it in. This was on a Friday. By Monday it was diagnosed as a diesel particulate filter plugged up. Regen did not solve the problem. Suggested replacement of entire exhaust after treatment system. I ok’d the work. Took two weeks to get the scarce parts. Great word great people to work with. Highly recommend this shop.

Repaired transmission last year and front suspension last week. Just checked with my son, who drove for first time today for significant time: "Drives great thanks for everything" So everything is great. Your usual great work!

This was my first time visit at Protrans Automotive, I did not know what to expect and was worried about how bad my car was and what it would cost me. Jeff greeted me and was very professional and welcoming. While my car was being repaired, I made arrangements to rent a car at a rental place, which was about 1/2 mile away. I was offered a ride to the car rental place by Protrans, which was really nice and accommodating since the weather was very frigid that morning. That afternoon, Jeff called me and advised my car was ready and it was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. I was pleased with their hospitality and professionalism. I am happy with my car and it is running great!!! Thank you for your great service.

Where do i start.. Wednesday afternoon 3pm before Thanksgiving on way home to Phoenix, car goes into limp mode, got referred to Protrans. Called them they agreed to take a look. Diagnosed, parts ordered and Throttle Body replaced and road tested. So very excited to know that there are still Honest shops out there that actually care about their clients. Highly recommend Protrans.
Jerry Griffus Nov 11, 2022
Very friendly! They checked our car and gave us professional recommendations for free! Will surely go back to them when next oil change needed.
Yuan-Lu Chen Nov 11, 2022
Went in for transmission repair, after diagnosing the problem they told me I didn't need a full rebuild saving me well over $1,000.00. They found some safety issues I wasn't aware of and I had them take care of all of them. The truck is running great! Thank you Protrans.

Jeff, Matt and Hayley and the team at ProTrans did an incredible job and went above and beyond for us. We had a one of a kind, 1970 Ford Chinook MotorHome that made it down to Joshua Tree from Homer Alaska. It sat during the plandemic and we finally rescued her almost 3 years later. She did not deal with the transition to desert life smoothly and was leaking badly and ran terribly. We had her towed to Riverside and found ProTrans from a referral from another shop. The team at ProTrans rebuilt the transmission and went through the engine to get us back on the road without breaking our budget. Jeff was good about communicating and Matt even drove over the day after we picked it up to help assess some issues that came up on the way home. Can’t say enough about the professionalism, care, and service we received and would recommend them to anyone for all car repairs!

Good Day; The service at "Protrans" was "Top Notch " ! Before I took my car to "Protrans", I took it to another service center and I was told that it needed a Transmission Replacement to the tune of $3,500.00. I then took it to "PROTRANS" for a second opinion and their tec found that all that was needed was for the front wheel bearing to be replaced. That was a savings of over $3,000.00 dollars 💵. So if you need ANY work done on your automobile I would have "PROTRANS" ✔ it out first. T. Van Dorn

Good solid business!! Good customer service!! My car was handled with care!!! Appreciate you all!!!
Felipe Avila Jul 7, 2022
Brought my 01 accord in and they were extremely courteous, quick and efficient with their services. I honestly wouldn’t recommend any other shop in the riverside area besides them. 10/10 you literally can’t go wrong choosing them!
Keanu Ivey Jul 7, 2022
A honest and dependable place to take your car.
Gloria Lopez Oct 10, 2021
Very grateful and impressed with Hayley Jeff and Mike at ProTrans. Dealer quoted $3000 for a new transmission. Took it to ProTrans for a second opinion. They honestly called and reported that it was just an issue with the driveshaft and $150 later I was out the door. I appreciate the honesty and integrity of Jeff and this company. Would highly recommend and would return!
shane emery Jul 7, 2022
If you’re looking for an honest and affordable automotive service, this is the place. I took my 2010 Ford Focus and they fixed my issue at a reasonable price and provided recommendations to enhance my vehicle. I did take the recommendations and my car runs like new. They have great customer service and now I’m a loyal customer!
Steven Pacheco Jul 7, 2022
Very professional outfit there. These guys did great work on my Kia. I know those parts were hard to find too. My car has never run better. Highly recommend this place...Just an update I was called by the owner I believe a month ago. He was checking in to make sure everything was still OK. Thanks. You definitely don't see that kind of follow up, and customer service much. You guys are great.
Thomas Apr 4, 2022
I told my mom (Anna) that this place seemed like a great place based off the reviews. Let me tell you these people are amazing they fixed the transmission to our 2012 Kia over a month ago and the car is still doing great just passed it smog test. They were incredibly kind to my mother and sympathetic to our situation they even gave her a ride home. They worked quickly we would have gotten our car a day earlier than we did but our phone number was incorrect but never the less I would highly recommend them.
Sophie Jul 7, 2022
Had a good experience. The staff were friendly and honest.
Roy Hornaday Jun 6, 2022
Jeff, Hayley, Mike and the whole Crew at pro trans are great! They are professional, up front and most of all honest. I have used their service on multiple occasions and always left feeling confident that my van was fixed right and that I got a fair price. I recommend them to everyone!!
Nasser Dahdul Aug 8, 2020
Had an 2 quart over fill from another business that caused a leak on my transmission Protrans fixed the leak and brought the fluid down to where it's supposed to be, I thank the people at Protrans for helping me get my truck to where it's supposed to be before any damage could be done !!
Ralph Delgado Jun 6, 2022
My alternator went out on my car while I was driving to Arizona with my 3 dogs and a cat , to say I was stressed is an understatement and they had my car up and running before lunch time!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the service and their kindness.. Thanks Jeff!!👍
