If you have a Jeep, Titan Pro-X, or other off-roading vehicle, you may wonder how long it will last. Truthfully, it can last a long time with the right care and maintenance. You can find out how to keep your 4x4 in good shape by talking to your technician at Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center for complete car repair serving Poughkeepsie.
Transfer Case
A 4x4 has a special piece of equipment called a transfer case. It has its own set of gears and its own transmission fluid. If the mechanical parts are strained, it may become inoperable. If the fluid gets old or leaks, it can also become inoperable. Usually an off-road vehicle has a skid plate to protect the transfer case from damage. However, the transfer case can become damaged by the constant jarring of an off-road trail. When this happens, it puts the vehicle's ability to shift into four-wheel drive into jeopardy. This can be dangerous if it happens on the trail. You certainly want the 4x4 capability during our rough winter weather. You can get transfer case repair at Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center.
Suspension
Most off-roading vehicles have tougher suspensions to handle the rougher ride. Yet even these suspensions can get damaged. If it is broken, this can lead to damage to your transmission and your brakes. It is also a safety hazard. Basically, it is not a repair that you can leave for another day. If you are hearing a clunking sound or you suspect damage to your suspension, bring it to us for a thorough inspection.
Off-roaders really love adventure, but that shouldn't include breakdowns on the trail. To make sure you are ready for your next ride, bring your off-roading vehicle to Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center. We offer complete car repair serving Poughkeepsie NY.
