Our Axle Repair Services for Cars and Trucks
Axles are an incredibly important part of your vehicle's drivetrain. Although they’re generally quite durable and rarely need repair, they’re not indestructible. If you overload the axle shafts within your axle housing, hit a pothole too hard, or don’t properly lubricate them, they may snap. At Patriot Diesel and Automotive, we offer a wide variety of light-duty axle services for cars and diesel trucks of all kinds. Whether you need them replaced, repaired, or maintained, we’ve got you covered. The high-quality services you and your vehicle deserve are just one phone call away. Don’t let damaged axles get you down, call us today!
Lubricant Failure
Your axles need to be lubricated at all times if they’re to remain undamaged and in good condition, and as such, one of the most common causes of axle damage is lubricant failure. Fortunately, through proper maintenance and regular inspection lubricant failure can be avoided. Over time, the gear oil that eliminates friction from your axle housing breaks down. Most manufacturers recommend it be changed every 30 to 60 thousand miles, although that’s subject to change depending on how hard a vehicle is worked. If this service interval isn’t followed, damage is likely. The same goes for fluid that leaks from your differential plate or axle seals.
Our Medium-Duty and Heavy-Duty Truck Axle Repair Services
Unlike other vehicle repair shops, Patriot Diesel and Automotive offers repair and maintenance services for automobiles, light trucks, medium trucks, and heavy-duty trucks. Whether you need your axles replaced or repaired in your medium-duty box truck, your Dodge Grand Caravan, or full-size Peterbilt semi, Patriot Diesel and Automotive has you covered. Don’t let poor preventive maintenance sideline your vehicle. Call our shop today and we’ll get your vehicle back up and running.
