Four Wheel Drive Inspection

The Basics Behind Four Wheel Drive Inspection Services atGlenn Dale, Tire, Auto & Roadside Assist Auto Services

Four wheel drive allows a vehicle to supply power to all four of its wheels.

Drivers depend on four wheel drive systems to give them better traction on snow, ice, and off-road terrain.

Vehicles with 4WD can be full-time or part-time.

A part time 4WD system can be engaged and disengaged as desired by the driver and is designed to be used under conditions where poor traction is an issue.

Standard full-time 4WD systems consistently deliver power to all four wheels, and can be operated while driving on any type of surface.

The goal of a 4WD system is to send torque to the wheels to prevent slippage.

A four wheel drive system is composed of various parts.

These include the differentials, hubs, and the transfer case.

A transfer case is responsible for delivering power to both the front and rear axles, while hubs help secure the wheels.

To keep a 4WD vehicle performing as intended, drivers should watch over the different parts of the system and have them routinely inspected during a 4WD service.

Why Should You Have Four Wheel Drive Inspection Services Performed atGlenn Dale, Tire, Auto & Roadside Assist Auto Services?

We understand the importance of having and maintaining an operable 4WD system.

Our staff knows that transfer cases deal with a high amount of heat and friction that often negatively affect the fluid used in the operation of the gears of this component.

If the fluid in your transfer case is contaminated, our 4WD inspection service can help.

Our service staff will also inspect or examine the gears, shafts, and hubs on your vehicle.

Faulty hubs can prevent a part-time 4WD vehicle from switching between driving modes.

If you experience any problems engaging or disengaging from a part-time 4WD vehicle, or you suspect the time for a checkup has arrived, give us a visit for a four wheel drive inspection.

We proudly service the Four Wheel Drive Inspection needs of customers in Greenbelt, MD, College Park, MD, Glendale, MD, and surrounding areas.

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

- I 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
