Protrans Automotive, Riverside's largest independent AAA-approved auto repair facility, is owned and operated by Michael and Samantha Radak. Michael and his father, Jack, started Protrans in May of 1992 after Jack retired from the space industry. A few years down the road, Jack was recruited back to Boeing, and Michael and Samantha decided to continue building the family business by adding general auto repair to transmission rebuilding.
Protrans Automotive is a full-service auto repair shop, specializing in transmission rebuilding and auto diagnostics, as well as transmission services, check engine lights, auto A/C repair, wheel alignments, brakes, suspension, and much more. When it comes to auto repair and vehicle maintenance, we understand that trust is essential for customer satisfaction.
Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your vehicle with high-octane gas is a waste of money. The premium gas doesn't boost your gas mileage or performance. If you're not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner's manual will tell you. You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use.
Acura offers an appealing mix of performance, technology, and value with its street-performance-oriented RDX compact crossover, the TSX wagon, and the ZDX, a fastback-styled crossover. These models join the popular RL luxury sedan, the midsize TL sedan, and the entry-level TSX sport sedan in Acura's lineup.
BMW is one of the world's most respected automakers, renowned for building luxury cars and SUVs that offer exceptional levels of driving enjoyment. The company has been a pioneer for many emerging technologies, including turbocharging and advanced vehicle electronics. Like most people in the Riverside area, you depend on your vehicle.

The team at ProTrans are professional and service minded. They performed a synthetic oil change on my sister’s Chevy Cruze swiftly and seamlessly. It was my first time using this company and I will definitely be going back. A shout out of thanks to Jeff, Manny, Haley and the the entire ProTrans team!

I bought a 2006 Dodge Charger Dayton and the oil light kept coming on. I went to the dealership and a few other repair shops to see if they could turn off the oil light and they could not. I thought that I had a lemon. I took my vehicle to Pro Trans Auto and they were able to fix the issue and I have been bringing my vehicle to them for every problem since then. The staff is very nice.

I took my F250 truck to Pro Trans Automotive around 11:00 am because I suspected a transmission leak. They were honest about the how long the diagnostic and repair would take; depending on the diagnostic it could take 1-2 days or 4-5 days based on type of repair. I asked them to keep me updated on the diagnostic, type of repair, labor cost, and parts cost before they did any repairs to the truck. Pro Trans acted professional and kept good communication with me about my truck.
My truck ended up having a fuel leak, Pro Trans Auto called me with an update and cost for the repair. They called me around

Customer service exceeded my expectations. They went above and beyond what I asked them to do. Work was done in a timely manner. They never tried to sell me something I did not need and were very clear on what was needed to correct my issues. I highly recommend this small business and I will be back for future repairs. We appreciate the great service. Thank you guys.

Had a slight intermittent pinion seal leak. Protrans installed a new seal and did a diff oil change to ensure proper oil level. Service was a day or two turn around, and they put your vehicle inside the shop over night. Very nice and professional people.

Took my car in to have inspected for a potential transmission fluid leak. Dropped off at 8:00 am and by 3:30 pm I had not heard anything so I decided to call. I spoke with Jeff who informed me that the transmission tech had called in sick and therefore my car hadn’t been looked at. The fact that my car sat in the shop for over 8 hours without anyone calling to update me was disappointing. I’m also not sure how a “transmission specialists” shop only counts on one transmission tech. I was extremely turned off by the poor customer service that after my call I arranged a ride to go pick up

Jeff took great care of us from beginning to end.
He got us in quickly and gave us a fair estimate to fix our differential. He was very cooperative even though we were just a first time customer.
He knew we needed our vehicle for vacation and therefore went above and beyond to get the parts in time.
A few days after the repair he followed up to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Highly recommend! We will come back for sure.

We've been going to Pro Trans since Mike, the owner, was working on vehicles himself. I think he started Pro Trans just a little while before we started going to him. Over 20 years I believe.
We had the turn signal lever replaced on our 2005 Ford F150 Fx4 truck and it only took them a few hours to get to it fixed. As always the work and cost was very reasonable. And our truck isn't exactly easy to work on with a 6 inch lift kit!
Thank you Mike and crew for taking good care of another one of our trucks.
