Sam is a good mechanic and knows his stuff. I took my 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 there due to some transfer case problems and he took care of it in a timely manner and did a great job. read more

I recently bought the truck and I was referred to Sam from a fellow Gen 1 Raptor owner. My rear diff/axle was making a howling sound that would get louder the faster I'd go. We knew it was bearings and hoped the gears were ok. He knew the issue right away and explained in detail. He is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He fixed it much faster than I expected and explained the issues and showed/gave me the worn bearings and told me I was lucky the gears were ok because they are very expensive. 2 day turn around. No upselling on anything. He uses top of the line products. I will refer him to anyone. Highly recommended. Thank you good sir read more

The rear differential on my ford ranger has been making noise for a while , I've been putting it off for fear of cost of having to replace the whole thing and the time it would take, I googled a couple of places and this one sounded pretty reputable, I wasn't disappointed, Sam was kind enough to explain and show me how a differential works and what could possibly be the problem, long story short I left my truck with him and got the call the next morning that my truck was ready and the cost was reasonable, I'm super happy with Sam's work, I feel like I made a new friend, I will definitely recommend Pomona Gear to my friends, thanks Sam read more

Can't stress this enough. If you need any differential work this place is a MUST GO TO!!!! I called and spoke with Sam regarding my son's truck making some noise. My son had his truck towed on a Saturday. Shop contacted him Monday with a price. Got a call Tuesday that the truck was done. Will definitely go back and will definitely recommend Pomona Gear to anyone looking for differential work read more

Sam is an honest business owner, got some gear work done and he delivered as he promised. Great quality and was done before his deadline he quoted me. I would recommend Sam and Pomona gear every day of the week!!! Thanks Sam! read more

SAM is one of the best differential installers on the west coast. If you need your vehicle back on the road definitely come see Sam!

I had Sam look at my f-150 after the dealer put a lift kit on it and larger tires. My speedometer was 5 miles over because the dealership never bothered to re-gear the rear end . Guys if you're having your truck lifted and putting on bigger tires make sure you reach out to Sam so he can make it right. read more

NOT JUST FOR 4x4s! Detailed review! My 2014 Mustang GT was making a 'rubbing' sound coming from the rear end that was only getting worse as the miles went up and the drone of it was starting to drive me crazy. After changing the fluid and praying it would solve my problems (it didn't - which confirmed I had serious problems) I decided to do some homework on the subject and look for a repair shop I could trust. I normally do ALL my own repairs because I don't trust other people with my vehicles, but with a long drive ahead of me right around the corner I didn't have the time to tackle rebuilding the rear end myself. I came across Pomona Gear that has pretty solid reviews on Yelp and Google. They mostly deal with 4x4s - Jeeps, trucks, large SUVs - no reviews mentioning a lowered Mustang. I figured a differential is a differential and decided to give Sam a call to see if he would look at my car. Asked if I could bring it in the following morning (Friday) and he said no problem. I got there right as he was unlocking the gates and he immediately said lets go for a test drive where he quickly identified my rear end sounds. Said he would open it up and call me before proceeding. I dropped the car off at 9am thinking that it wouldn't be ready until Monday, maybe Saturday if I was lucky. He called me at 3 hours later around noon saying that my carrier bearing and pinion bearing was shot and wanted to do a full overhaul on the rear end. I figured that my gears were going to have to be changed as well but Sam felt that they looked good enough to be reused. I actually tried to get him to go ahead and change them since he was already in there but he told me it would be a waste of money! (NO UPSELLING/GOUGING HERE!!) He calls me again around 2:45pm saying that the car was ready! NO WAY! I got down there and Sam showed me the bad bearings and we talked for a bit. The car is TOTALLY silent now and drives the way it should. Glad I listened to him and kept my gears! He even called me a few hours later to make sure that the sound was gone and that I was happy. I was beside myself on how well the whole process went. Even though I do my own repairs, the customer service and time frame Sam was able to complete it in gained a customer for any future rear end work I need. 10/10 to Sam and Pomona Gear. THANK YOU! read more

Sam got me in and out quick! He replaced all the bearings and axles in the rear end of my 71 El Camino. Definitely recommend

Sam is truly honest and provides good service. I've been going to him for several years now. He helped me fix the swing arm of my rear bumper. The arm now works like a charm. read more

This is going to be my go-to shop. I am very satisfied with their work. Ery honest and clean work.

Brought my 2016 F150 here for 4.10 gears after pricing a bunch of other places. Pomona Gear had the most reasonable price with no hidden costs involved. Sam treated me like family was really easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. The work was done quickly and flawlessly. I couldn't be happier with the new gears and the service I got at Pomona gear. I highly recommend Sam and Pomona gear. read more

Stopped by last week to see Sam. I wanted to go over some ideas I had for my new (to me) 2016 JK 4 door sport and get his opinion. I had heard that he was good, but after my experience I would say he's great. Sam spent the time with me to make sure I was 100% comfortable before we decided on the build. Well, I picked up my JK yesterday and I have to say this thing is amazing and the attention to detail in the build was nice. Sam is one of those guys knows those "special things" that make a build great and it show in his work. Looking forward to some great times and a trip to Moab, Utah in Sept. For now, some local wheeling will do! For those interested in the build, these are some of the parts and mfg's I went with: Hanson bumpers Full-Traction Lift Robby Gordon 17" beadlocks 37" Toyo M/T ARB's OnBoard Air Revolution Gear: 5.13 gears and chromoly axles front and rear. JE Reel Drivelines Thanks, Sam!! You and your crew rock! Now it is time for me to hit the rocks with my amazing JK you built me! read more

Great and affordable work. Thank you for taking my husbands truck in having it ready in such short time.

Unexpected issues came up with my drive shaft. Found this place though Google search (drive shaft shops near me) this place popped up. I was hesitant because i didn't know the mechanic and didn't know anyone that knew him to say i was referred. I took a chance, Turned out he was awesome!! Very helpful and concerned of the issues going on with my truck. Repaired my drive shaft just like brand new on my 2004 Chevy Silverado. I was only without my truck for 1 day. Very GREAT service. Awesome guy. I recommend this place most definitely! read more

Pomona Gear is by far the best shop I've found for all of your off road needs. Sam (the owner) is honest and totally trustworthy. He built my 04 Jeep Wrangler and I trust him to always give me High Quality work at the most reasonable prices you'll find anywhere. There is no job too big or small. He puts Hemis in Wranglers and can build any kind of suspension, gear boxes, differentials, roll cages or whatever else you can think of for your off road vehicle. If I could give Sam 10 stars instead of just 5 I most definitely would. You can never go wrong letting Sam at Pomona Gear help you with anything from maintenance to a complete build! read more

Pomona Gear - Auto Repair Near Me - Pomona, California

I dropped my pickup truck off Saturday morning (needed the u-joints fixed), the owner stayed an hour and a half after closing to make sure I was able to pick up my pickup and drive it home the same day. I'm very grateful for that extra effort. read more

Brought in my lifted 2005 Jeep Rubicon to fix some annoying squeaks and clanks. Sam met me and checked out my car with a test drive. His expertise was obvious when he had me pull over to a vacant lot and drive in circles while he stood outside and looked and listened. I left my Jeep there for a day and $200.00 later it was sounding like new. Some improperly installed components and a lube job were all that was needed. Sam is an honest guy that I will trust in the future. read more

Pomona Gear - Me conquering the Gatekeeper at John Bull. - Auto Repair Near Me - Pomona, California

I've taken two vehicles to Sam, the first was my 04 Ford Diesel Excursion. Rotors and Calipers were fried, Sam did a great job in fixing the problem. Came back with my 1971 K5 Blazer, again he did a great job in fixing and rebuilding the rear end. He's always been upfront and honest about what needs to be done but provides alternatives to minimize the cost. Does great work and decent prices for a great job. read more

We had problems with our trailer hitch and they were very helpful on pointing out the issues .

Amazing amazing amazing. The rear end in my 05 Tundra went out. I was planning on finding a used one and having it put in until I remember the HUGE Dodge Ram parked outside this shop. I called the shop inquiring about fixing my truck and was told to bring it on down. When I Got to the shop Sam introduced himself And was very professional. I told him what was going on with my truck and he said let's Go for a Spin. as soon as he heard the symptoms himself he already knew what it was. He gave me a rough estimate with the condition that once he open the rear end things could be worse. I left my truck in great hands. The next day Sam calls me what they bit of bed news but tells me that he can fix the truck and it'll be good as New. He gives me a second price and I time to go ahead with the job he said to give him some Time to get the parts in and he'll get it done as soon as he can. Day number 3 calls me and tells me that my truck is ready to be picked up. I pick up my truck hours later he explains to me the break in period and sends me on my way. I am very happy with the work he did so far. My truck feels good as new. I will update this when I take the truck back to have new oil put in the rear end after the break in period. read more

Sorry it took so long to write this review. I wanted to let the gears break in and make sure that I had no issues before writing this to give a fair and thorough review. So far so good. Sam took care of me. He was honest and reasonable with pricing. We discussed the pros and cons of the two different gearing choices and helped me settle on 4.10 with my Dodge Ram Diesel. The install was quicker than he originally estimated by 1 day which may not mean a lot to most but it is important if this is your daily driver. The parts look like high quality and the install looks professional. The pricing was comparable to ordering online but with the added benefit of having a warranty. Overall I am happy with Sam and Pomona Gear. Good work at a good price. read more

Called to see if they will put in my driveshaft for my Jeep. A part that I bought and had everything needed for it just didn't have the tools to install it. Told me it will be $100 I said OK and after a couple of hours trying to figure out a ride back home after dropping my Jeep off I get there and the guy tells me "it's too much for him to do" doesn't tell me it will be more expensive or to come back another day just tells me "its too much for him to do". 1-2 hours tops job?? VERY DISAPPOINTED AND A WASTE OF TIME. read more
