Four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle services encompass a range of maintenance and repair tasks aimed at keeping your 4x4 vehicle in optimal condition. Here are some common services and maintenance tasks we offer 4WD vehicles:

• Oil Change: Regular oil changes are essential to keep the engine running smoothly. Make sure to use the recommended oil type for your specific 4WD vehicle.
• Tire Maintenance: Proper tire care is crucial for 4WD vehicles, especially if you use them off-road. Rotate and balance your tires regularly, check the tire pressure, and inspect for wear and damage.
• Brake Service: Maintain your vehicle's braking system, including checking brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid. Off-road driving can be tough on brakes.
• Suspension and Alignment: Ensure that the suspension system is in good condition and get periodic wheel alignments to prevent uneven tire wear and maintain stability.
• Transmission Service: Regularly check and change the transmission fluid, as 4WD vehicles often have more complex drivetrains that require special attention.
• Differential Service: Maintain front and rear differentials by changing the differential fluid at recommended intervals.
• Transfer Case Service: If your 4WD vehicle has a transfer case, it's crucial to service it to ensure proper power distribution between the front and rear axles.
• Fluid Checks: Regularly check other fluids, including coolant, power steering fluid, and washer fluid.
• Electrical System Inspection: Ensure all electrical components, including lights, wipers, and the battery, are functioning correctly.
• Off-Road Accessories: If you use your 4WD vehicle for off-road activities, ensure that any aftermarket accessories such as winches, skid plates, or off-road lighting are maintained and functioning.
• Maintenance: Consider preventive maintenance checks before embarking on off-road trips to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
• Cleaning and Rust Prevention: Regularly clean your 4WD vehicle, especially if it's exposed to mud, dirt, or salt. Rustproofing can also help protect against corrosion.
• It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual.
