Brisbane Differential Services FAQs

  • How does PROTRUCK’s differential repair service work for Brisbane customers?

    Our Brisbane clients enjoy the same simple and efficient process that PROTRUCK is known for across Australia. You can send your vehicle’s diff directly to our main workshop in Fountaindale, NSW, where our experienced technicians will inspect, repair, or completely recondition it. If replacement parts are required, we’ll source and fit them using trusted brands and quality components. Once complete, your unit is shipped back quickly, keeping your truck, ute, or machinery running with minimal downtime.

  • Can I ship my differential from anywhere in Australia?

    Absolutely. PROTRUCK works with customers nationwide, not just in Brisbane. Many clients freight their differentials directly to our workshop for servicing, repairs, or full reconditioning. It’s a convenient way to access professional service no matter where you’re based.

  • What types of vehicles can PROTRUCK's differential specialists handle?

    Our team services and repairs differentials for a wide range of vehicles—from cars and utes to high-performance vehicles and rear wheel drive vehicles, heavy trucks, and trailers. We also support industries such as mining, logistics, and transport, where consistent reliability is crucial.


    Beyond differentials, PROTRUCK’s technicians are highly skilled in manual and automatic transmissions, diff lockers, and driveline components. Every job is completed using advanced diagnostic tools, premium parts, and decades of experience to achieve lasting, high-quality results.

  • Do you stock reconditioned and exchange differentials?

    Yes. PROTRUCK is your one-stop shop for complete differential solutions, offering an extensive range of popular Meritor exchange units ready for quick turnaround. We also service, source, and recondition other leading brands such as Spicer, Volvo, Scania, Eaton, and Rockwell, and can carry out diff ratio upgrades to suit your vehicle’s performance or load requirements.


    In addition to full replacement options, we stock a wide selection of spare parts for various vehicle makes, making it easy to find the right components for your car, ute, or truck, all backed by our quality workmanship and reliable service.

  • Is there a warranty on reconditioned or exchange units?

    Yes. All reconditioned and exchange differentials come with a warranty, giving you full confidence in the quality of both parts and workmanship.

  • What are the benefits of servicing my differential regularly?

    Routine servicing is key to the long-term health of your driveline. It boosts performance, improves handling, extends tyre life, enhances traction, and reduces noise. Like any major vehicle component, a differential benefits from preventive care—it reduces the risk of costly repairs and keeps your vehicle reliable on Brisbane’s roads.

  • How much does a differential repair or replacement cost?

    The cost of a differential repair or replacement can vary depending on the vehicle type, the condition of the components, and the work required. Because every job is different, the best way to get an accurate figure is to request a detailed quote from our team. We’ll assess your differential, outline the options available, and provide transparent pricing before any work begins.

  • What are the signs I might need a differential repair?

    Early warning signs shouldn’t be ignored. Common indicators include grinding or whining noises near the drive wheels, unusual vibrations, or a burning smell from the rear of the vehicle. These issues often point to worn bearings, gears, or low differential oil levels. The sooner the problem is checked, the more likely it can be repaired before major damage occurs.

  • Can you supply parts instead of doing the full repair?

    Yes. PROTRUCK stocks a complete range of components for diff repairs, covering everything from light vehicles and 4WDs to heavy or light trucks. Our inventory includes gears, seals, pinion bearings, and other hard-to-find parts. If your local mechanic is handling the job, we can supply the required components to help get your vehicle back on the road faster.

  • How do I find a trustworthy differential repair service?

    When choosing a repair specialist, look for businesses with strong customer reviews, trade certifications, and proven experience in diff repairs. It’s also smart to request two or three itemised quotes that clearly outline the cost of parts, labour, and any additional charges. Independent workshops like PROTRUCK are often more budget-friendly than dealerships, while still offering premium workmanship and warranty-backed service.

  • Are gearbox services available too?

    Yes. Alongside our work on diffs, PROTRUCK also provides complete transmission and gearbox servicing for trucks, utes, and heavy vehicles. Our technicians carry out gearbox repair and rebuilds for all types of vehicles, including manual gearbox systems, replace clutches, and perform routine maintenance to keep both the engine and driveline operating smoothly.


    We also assist customers by diagnosing gearbox or differential failure early, helping prevent costly downtime and further damage to connected systems. Free inspections and test drives are available to check performance concerns before work begins, giving you clear, professional advice every step of the way.

  • How much does a clutch replacement cost?

    Clutch replacement costs can vary based on vehicle type, parts used, and labour time. It’s best to contact us directly for an accurate quote based on your make and model.

  • Are there licensed professionals for other mechanical work?

    Yes. PROTRUCK’s fully qualified mechanics and technicians are equipped to handle a wide range of repair and maintenance tasks beyond standard servicing. In addition to working on transmissions, differentials, brakes, suspensions, and steering systems, we also provide:


    • Wheel balancing and tyre puncture repairs
    • Hydraulic system servicing and maintenance
