What we can do for you

The expert technicians at C&T Auto Repair have many years of experience delivering quality auto repair services on standard 4-wheel drive (4×4) vehicles as well as all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles.

We understand the special needs of these vehicles! These are just some of the expert auto repair services we proudly offer here at our shop in Pasadena, MD.

Alignment

Wheel alignment is standard vehicle maintenance. It involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set correctly to manufacturer specifications.

The primary purpose of wheel alignment is to ensure the suspension and the steering systems operate at their optimal angles – and this dramatically reduces tire wear, prolonging the life of your tires. Alignment is a precise process and unfortunately not all mechanics carry out the job correctly. At C&T Auto Repair, our experts handle your car’s alignment with attention to detail and get the job done right.

Differentials

The differential transfers the engine power to the wheels. One important function of the differential is to pass on power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds – thus the name differential. When turning, the outer wheels travel a larger distance than the inner wheels do (also the front wheels travel a longer distance than the rear wheels). This means that all four wheels travel at different speeds during a turn and this is where the differential comes in to help.

To make sure your vehicle’s differentials are working properly, have them checked regularly. Contact C&T Transmission & Repair today for differentials examination and servicing.

Driveline

A driveline is a part of your car or truck which connects the engine and the transmission to the wheel axles. The driveline consists of the parts of the powertrain (minus the engine and transmission). Failure of the driveline essentially means that the vehicle has no power. So it’s no surprise that your car’s driveline needs to be regularly inspected and serviced! At C&T Auto Repair, you can have the driveline serviced by experts you can trust.

Hubs, Seals, Studs, & Nuts

A wheel hub assembly is an important part of the car and if anything goes wrong, it can affect your wheel rotation and driving safety. You can have a safer and smoother ride today by replacing your warped and worn out wheel hubs.

The seals provide oil and grease sealing, which keep the wheels rotating smoothly. Worn out or warped seals allow external contaminants to enter the bearing unit or let lubricant escape from the unit. This ultimately leads to premature failure of the bearing unit. To keep out contamination and retain lubricant in the bearings, have the seals replaced with new ones.

The studs and wheel nuts or lug nuts are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of your truck. The wheel studs are permanently mounted on the wheel hub through the brake disk or brake drum. To secure the wheel, the lug nuts are fastened over the stud. Stripped wheel studs can be quite dangerous and we ensure you are always safely serviced to avoid these dangers. To have your vehicles wheel safety inspected, call 410-787-0225 or visit C&T Auto Repair today.

Transfer Cases

A transfer case is a part of a four wheel drive system found in four wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case receives power from the transmission and sends it to both the front and rear axles. This can be done with a set of gears, but the majority of transfer cases manufactured today are chain driven. The transfer case is connected to the transmission and also to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts. Trust the automotive experts at C&T Auto Repair for all your transmission repairs.

Wheel Bearings

Wheel bearings sit inside of wheels, allowing the wheels to spin freely, and connect to the brake system. They can wear over time and cause a vibrating suspension and noisy rubbing as the car drives. If they break completely, the vehicle will become very difficult to control and unsafe to drive. The replacement interval for wheel bearings varies greatly, but you should be check for leaks and wear periodically. C&T Auto Repair can make sure that your bearings are in good shape and let you know if they need replacement.
