Cost varies widely — a simple seal kit on a small bucket cylinder can be a few hundred dollars, while a major rebuild with new rod, honed barrel, and pin bore line boring on a large excavator boom cylinder can be several thousand. We always provide a written estimate after disassembly and inspection before any work proceeds.

Simple reseals typically turn in 2-4 business days if parts are in stock. Rebuilds requiring rod rechrome, machining, or custom seal kits can take 1-2 weeks. Bring it in early in the week for the fastest turnaround — or call ahead for emergency scheduling.

A reseal swaps the wear items: rod seal, piston seal, wiper, O-rings, and backup rings. A full rebuild includes rod replacement, end-cap welding, pin bore line boring if needed, and sending out for barrel honing or rod rechroming when the metal requires it. Whether you need just a reseal depends on how worn the rod and barrel are — we'll measure and tell you honestly.

No. You can drop just the cylinder off at any of our 7 locations. For machines that can't easily be cylinder-out, our mobile service trucks can remove and reinstall on-site, then ship the cylinder to our shop.

All major equipment brands — Bobcat, DEVELON (Doosan), Kubota, Caterpillar, John Deere, Yanmar, Takeuchi, Volvo, JCB, plus industrial and fabrication cylinders. We carry OEM seal kits for the brands we're authorized for, and premium aftermarket kits (Hercules, Trelleborg) for everything else.

For machines under Bobcat, DEVELON, or Kubota warranty, rebuilds performed with genuine OEM seal kits and factory procedures fully preserve coverage. We're also authorized to perform warranty cylinder repair on your behalf.

Yes. If the original cylinder is beyond economical repair or is no longer available from the OEM, we can spec and source a custom-built replacement — matching bore, stroke, mounting, port size, and pressure rating to your application.

Usually because the rod or barrel is worn beyond what new seals can accommodate. A scored rod will chew up wiper and rod seals in 50-200 hours. Proper repair means rod replacement (or sending out for rechrome) and barrel honing along with the new seals — not just dropping new seals into a worn cylinder.

Yes — every rebuilt cylinder is cycled and pressure-tested on our hydraulic test stand to working pressure before it leaves the shop. We won't ship a cylinder that hasn't proven itself on the stand first.
