Differential & Transfer Case Service
in Hickory, NC

Gear oil change for rear ends, front diffs, and transfer cases on trucks, SUVs, and AWD cars.

~35 min from StatesvilleNo waiting roomQuote before work

If you're in Hickory and your car needs differential & transfer case service, you don't have to get it to a shop. We're a mobile mechanic based in Statesville, roughly 35 minutes from our base, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around Mountain View every week.

Why Hickory drivers book mobile differential & transfer case service

Hickory is the biggest city on our western edge, and I-40 makes it an easy run. We cover Viewmont, Mountain View, the airport area, and everything along US-70 and US-321. That's exactly the situation mobile drivetrain work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.

What's included

If you tow, haul, or drive an AWD vehicle, the differentials and transfer case are working hard and their gear oil needs to be changed on schedule. Whining from the rear at speed or a clunk on takeoff are signs it's overdue. We drain, inspect the oil for metal, and refill with the correct weight and limited-slip additive where required.

  1. Drain and inspect old fluid for metal or water
  2. Replace the cover gasket or drain plug crush washer
  3. Refill with the correct gear oil and friction modifier if limited-slip
  4. Check pinion and axle seals for leaks

Signs it's time

  • Whining from the rear at highway speed
  • Clunk on takeoff or when shifting
  • Fluid leak at the axle or pinion seal
  • You tow or drive gravel regularly
  • Past the interval
