Rupe’s Hydraulics

Have a 8 year old compact trac loader.
Took it to Rupe’s to get the drive working correctly.
The machine took forever to fix with difficulty removing motors, apparently the spline was not greased at factory and had fused. Needed both new drive pumps and a left side motor.
I imagine from what they were telling me they put allot of free labor hours. Final bill was lower than the original estimate they provided.
It’s very hard to find shops that will be considerate of cost (s).
Unfortunately machine had to go back in 3 days later. I lost all hydraulics.
They took responsibility for not replacing the flex plate when all the pumps were out.
They also put a new right side motor in (both replaced). Total bill was under $ 800. this time.
New drive motor online list for $ 1800. ??
Overall Rupes’s cares about it’s workmanship and customer relationships.
Can’t give 5 due to the flex plate /​return issue and an agonizing amount of time the machine was down.
JR is the manager = Good Guy

This place is a joke. Took in an HUP to fix a leak and left with more problems then i brought it in with. They obviously had no knowlege on the equipemt that they supposedly fix. And then they charged me 400 $ in just labor and its still not fixed. In total I spent almost 600 $ and now I need to go fix it myself.

Terrible customer service!!! Brought in a power unit for repair and servicing. Held equipment for over a month and only managed to change a couple hoses… would never return here nor recommend them for anything!!!

No one in North County comes close, maybe the whole county. I’ve been going to Rupe’s for more than a decade and I can’t remember ever having a bad experience, though I can remember of plenty of times they came through big.

I have been taking my cylinders to Rupe’s for repair for many, many years now. I have found them to be fair, good about time to return items to me, and overall friendly and courteous. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a cylinder repair or replacement.

I had an aftermarket power steering line for my nissan 240sx, and one of the fittings had been busted, i took it to rupe’s, asked if i should come back later or the next day, and the guy said «no, just wait, it’ll take 5 minutes». In literally 3 minutes, he was back with my hose, had cut off the old fitting and crimped on a new one. Ordering a new hose would have cost me $ 125 + shipping, and a week wait for delivery. Rupe’s charged me $ 15. I gave him $ 20 and left and could not possibly be more pleased.
