Mira Loma drivers, in what is now Jurupa Valley, can reach Route 66 Auto Repair by taking the I-15 north to the I-10 and heading west to Central Ave. Our one shop is at 1775 W Foothill Blvd in Upland. Warehouse traffic, heat and dust are hard on trucks and cars, and our ASE-certified technicians test before they recommend anything. Diesels are welcome, tow-ins are accepted, and you approve a written estimate first.
How do Mira Loma drivers get to Upland?
Reach the I-15 from Limonite Ave or the 60 and head north. At the I-10 interchange in Ontario, go west. Stay on the I-10 through Ontario, exit at Central Ave in Montclair, and turn right to go north. Central climbs straight to Foothill Blvd in Upland, and we are at that corner, one block east of In-N-Out Burger.
The I-15 carries heavy truck traffic, so give yourself extra room. If this is your first visit, look over the directions page before you leave.
What do warehouse roads do to your vehicle?
Mira Loma sits in one of the busiest warehouse areas in the Inland Empire. Etiwanda Ave, Limonite Ave and Mission Blvd carry a steady flow of big rigs. Those trucks shed debris that punctures tires, and their weight wears the pavement into ruts that knock suspension parts around. Dust from open lots and construction settles on everything.
Summer heat is intense, and many local drivers idle in yard lines or sit in traffic near the 15 and 60. Idling in heat is hard on radiators, fans and water pumps. Work pickups and diesel trucks rack up miles and hours quickly, and some head north to the Cajon Pass with loads, which adds another long climb to the list.
Which three jobs come in most from Mira Loma?
- Diesel pickup and work truck repair. Fuel filters, injectors, glow plugs, turbos and diesel oil changes. See diesel engine services.
- Tire punctures and debris damage. We repair what can be safely repaired and sell, mount and balance new tires when it cannot. Visit tire services.
- Radiator, fan and water pump work. Heat plus idling finds the weak part in a cooling system. We pressure-test before replacing anything. Read cooling, heating and AC services.
What if the truck overheats or will not start on the I-15?
Trucks pass fast on the I-15, so a safe stop matters more than a quick one. If the gauge rises, signal early, move right and exit if you can. If you must stop on the shoulder, pull as far right as possible, turn on your hazards, and stay out of the lanes. Shut the engine off and leave a hot radiator or coolant tank closed.
Call (909) 608-7699 once you are clear of traffic. We accept tow-ins, including diesel pickups. If a diesel will not start on a cool morning, tell us how long it cranked and whether it smoked. That helps us plan the test.
