What Makes Our Westminster Shop the Go-To for 4WD Repairs
✅ Experience with Colorado Conditions
We understand the unique demands of Colorado’s terrain—snow, ice, elevation changes, and weekend off-roading all affect your drivetrain differently. That’s why our diagnostics go beyond the basics.
✅ Transfer Case Specialists
Whether you drive a Silverado, Wrangler, Tacoma, or Xterra, our techs are trained in both part-time and full-time 4WD systems. From chain slap to encoder motor failure, we’ve seen—and fixed—it all.
✅ Advanced Drivetrain Diagnostics
We don’t just plug in a code reader and guess. Our TrueTest Drivetrain Check includes test drives, fluid inspections, thermal scans, and physical component inspections to give you a complete picture before you spend a dime.
✅ OEM + Aftermarket Repair Options
We work with OEM parts when needed—but also offer high-quality aftermarket and remanufactured alternatives for older or out-of-warranty vehicles to save you money without cutting corners.
✅ Free Local Towing with Repair
If your transfer case fails and your vehicle won’t move (or shouldn’t be driven), we offer free towing within Westminster when you approve the repair.

FAQs: Transfer Case & 4WD Repair in Westminster
Q: Can I drive with a failing transfer case?
A: Not recommended. You may lose 4WD suddenly or cause internal damage that turns a minor fix into a full rebuild.
Q: How do I know it’s my transfer case and not the differential?
A: We’ll inspect both. Transfer case issues usually affect 4WD engagement, while differential issues often cause noise during turns or acceleration.
Q: How often should I change transfer case fluid?
A: Every 30,000–50,000 miles—more frequently if you tow or drive off-road regularly.
Q: Does your shop work on AWD systems too?
A: Yes—we service both traditional 4WD and full-time AWD drivetrains.
Q: Is your warranty valid in Westminster and beyond?
A: Absolutely. All major repairs come with a local warranty for peace of mind.
