Complete Tow Truck Hydraulic Repair Services In Pomona, CA
The hydraulic system is the working heart of every tow truck. Without it, the bed doesn't lift, the boom doesn't move, the winch doesn't pull, and the truck becomes a vehicle that can drive but can't do the job it was built for. The PTO drives the hydraulic pump. The pump pressurizes the fluid. The valves direct it. The cylinders convert it to movement. The winch uses it to pull. Every component in this chain depends on every other component — and a failure anywhere in the system affects everything downstream.
At Quik Tow Repair, hydraulic system work is one of our two core specialties alongside chassis and suspension. We work exclusively on tow trucks, which means we understand how hydraulic systems are configured on every major tow rig type — flatbeds, wreckers, rollbacks, integrated units, and heavy rotators — systems we service to the pressure and duty-cycle benchmarks defined by NTEA hydraulic system standards. Our technicians diagnose hydraulic problems at the system level, not just by replacing the component that shows the symptom.
All five hydraulic services are performed in-house at our Pomona shop — no outsourcing, no sending components to a third-party hydraulic shop. We have the diagnostic equipment to pressure and flow test every circuit, the tooling to rebuild pumps and cylinders, and the experience to diagnose the valve and PTO issues that other shops miss. Every hydraulic repair includes a full system test before the truck leaves our shop.
Full System Diagnosis First
We test the full hydraulic circuit before recommending any repair. Valve problems show up as cylinder failures. PTO issues show up as slow winch operation. We find the actual cause.
All Hydraulic Services In-House

Pressure Tested After Every Repair

What SoCal Towing Companies Say About Our Hydraulic Work
"Quik Tow handles all hydraulic work for our 9-truck fleet. They do a full system inspection on every truck every 6 months — pressure test, fluid check, cylinder seals, valve condition. In two years we've had zero hydraulic road failures. The proactive approach pays for itself in the first breakdown it prevents."
"Had a hydraulic problem that three other shops couldn't diagnose. Quik Tow pressure-tested the full system, found a relief valve set 350 PSI over spec causing pressure spikes that were blowing cylinder seals. Fixed the valve, rebuilt two cylinders, flushed the fluid. Truck has been perfect for 8 months. They diagnosed in one visit what three shops missed entirely."
"Complete hydraulic rebuild on my heavy wrecker — pump, cylinders, PTO seals, control valve, and full fluid flush. Quik Tow did everything in one shop, gave me a written report on every component, and pressure-tested the full system before I picked it up. Truck has never worked better. One shop, start to finish."
