Sioux Falls SD Four-Wheel Drive Service

A good percentage of the vehicles driving around the Sioux Falls area these days are equipped with either a four-wheel-drive (4WD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. This vehicle configuration is designed to send the power generated from the engine to all four of the vehicle's wheels.

Commonly referenced as 4x4 systems, four-wheel-drive vehicles are often found in SUVs or larger trucks that are often used for off-road performance and towing. AWD systems employ technology for such considerations as all-weather traction, and performance in station wagons, sedans, and yes, even sports cars. Regardless of the type of system in your vehicle, albeit a four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive setup, when it comes to servicing, inspecting, maintaining, or repairing your valued car, truck, or SUV, skilled mechanics like those found at our shop in Sioux Falls are what is needed for long-standing dependability.

Four-Wheel-Drive Inspection

The ability to deliver power to all four wheels for ultimate traction, on and off-road, requires a vehicle to be equipped with advanced automotive systems and components. Components for four-wheel-drive vehicles include hubs, transfer cases, differentials, and more. Regardless of whether your vehicle is equipped with 4WD that operates full-time or one that can be turned on & off, the technicians at 12th Street Auto Care Center are the drivetrain experts in Sioux Falls, with the skills of knowing how to thoroughly inspect these complex systems. Regularly scheduled maintenance and inspections can often catch potential problems prior to them becoming bigger and ultimately more expensive.

Four-Wheel-Drive Hub Service

Owners of vehicles that can switch between 2WD and 4WD can enjoy the best of both worlds in that the ultimate grip and traction on any surface can be attained with 4WD, while 2WD can deliver better fuel economy, reduced wear on tires and components. The locking hub on a vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive endures conditions that are quite demanding, and as such, it is imperative to bring it to our place in Sioux Falls to have it inspected & serviced regularly to ensure the best reliability and longevity.

Transfer Case Service

The transfer case in a vehicle with a four-wheel drive is the recipient of the energy sent from the transmission. The transfer case splits the energy received from the transmission, sending it to both the rear and front wheels. The primary purpose of the transfer case is to facilitate the simultaneous spinning of the four wheels at a constant speed, delivering the ultimate traction for off-road driving around the Sioux Falls area. A good percentage of transfer cases that are serviced at our shop in Sioux Falls have an additional set of gears for "low-range" that are perfect for off-road steep climbs. Transfer cases are filled with a lubricant that serves the purpose of minimizing wear and ensuring long-lasting dependability.

It can go without saying that as vital of a role that a transfer case plays in the operation of a four-wheel drive vehicle, it is really important to have regular inspections and services completed. 12th Street Auto Care Center offers a team of expert mechanics that specialize in four-wheel drive vehicles, and have the necessary training and experience that is needed to keep your car, truck, or SUV with a four-wheel drive system working properly. When noticing any type of fluid leak, difficulty changing gears, or grinding noises, drive over to our place in Sioux Falls for the best and most friendly service you will find from any auto repair shop in Sioux Falls.

When experiencing a problem with a transfer case, or when a normal inspection uncovers a problem, it is important to have it fixed immediately so as to avoid more expensive repairs later. 12th Street Auto Care Center can provide normal maintenance for transfer cases, such as flushing and replacing lubricant, as well as both minor repairs and complete transfer case replacement. The primary objective of our shop in Sioux Falls is to have our clients both back on and off the road as quickly as possible!
