Axle & Driveshaft Repair
Description of Axle, CV Joint & Driveshaft Repair
Your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components are integral to the performance and drivability of your vehicle.
The driveshaft is a steel or aluminum cylindrical component that connects the transmission to the rear differential.
The driveshaft connects to the transmission through the CV joints, which are responsible for transferring the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed.
Front wheel drive vehicles use CV joints on the front axles.
CV joints allow the axle to bend and change while accommodating the bounce of the wheels.
The axle bears the weight of the vehicle while also being strong enough to sustain the forces from braking and accelerating.
Over time and through normal use, your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components may require maintenance or replacement services.
Benefits of Axle, CV Joint & Driveshaft Repair
There are signs to look for when determining when to schedule an inspection of your vehicle’s front axle, rear axle, CV joints, and driveshaft components.
Clunking or clicking noises are signs that a CV joint needs replacement.
Vibrations during acceleration may indicate a damaged driveshaft, though they may also point to an axle issue depending on the layout of your vehicle.
Turning and steering issues may also arise out of a problem with the driveshaft.
CV joints can go bad when the grease leaks out of a damaged CV boot.
There are various determinants for how quickly your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components will degrade over time.

Customer Testimonials
We stand by our work.
The owner John is very knowledgeable and the whole staff is friendly. I came for an oil change and to have my tires serviced (rotation, alignment and balance) because I thought they needed it. John told me I didn’t need service to my tires and they rode very well; no need to spend the money on a service that wasn’t needed. We all know many establishments would try to push a service for a dollar so his honesty is appreciated. Reasonable pricing and great service. Highly recommend! Services: Tire rotations, Oil change

Since 2003 I have entrusted all my vehicular repairs and maintenance to John and his team at C & D Auto Service. In that time I have referred my family and friends to this shop. You are in safe and steady hands with John.

Ronnell FieldsGoogle ReviewI had slow leak from a nail puncture and I was told by another tire shop that run flat tires could not be fully patched. He said it would cost $75 for a temporary fix but he recommended replacing, so I bought another tire online. [...] Thomas did such great work that it was not a temp fix at all and basically let me know the other place did not know what they were talking about. I have had no issues with the tire and its been over 3 months. He also said the repair came with a lifetime warranty so this place is all good in my book. Highly recommend. Service: Tires
