Comprehensive 4X4 Services
Comprehensive 4x4 and All-Wheel Drive Vehicle Services
When it comes to maintaining your standard 4-wheel drive (4x4) and all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, the skilled technicians at Whiteheart & Sons Auto Service Center LLC possess years of experience and specialized knowledge.
AWD systems operate as full-time 4-wheel-drive setups, where all four wheels receive torque from the engine simultaneously. These intricate systems require unique attention, and we're here to cater to their distinct needs. Below are some of the services we offer:
Alignment
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for the optimal performance of your vehicle. Our experts adjust the angles of your wheels according to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring your vehicle's suspension and steering operate correctly and tire wear is minimized.
Differentials
The differential is a key component in your vehicle, allowing wheels to rotate at different speeds, especially important when turning. Regular maintenance of the differential is essential for smooth operation, and our services ensure it performs effectively under all driving conditions.
Driveline
The driveline connects the engine to the axles and is vital for transferring power to the wheels. Any issues here can significantly impact vehicle mobility. Our comprehensive inspections and maintenance services ensure your driveline functions reliably, preventing disruptions in power transmission.
Hubs, Seals, Studs, & Nuts
We maintain and replace wheel hubs to ensure your vehicle's wheels are securely attached and operate smoothly. Regular checks and replacements of seals protect bearings from contaminants and prevent lubricant leaks. Additionally, we inspect and replace any damaged studs and nuts to maintain the structural integrity of your vehicle's wheels.
Transfer Cases
Essential for 4x4 and AWD vehicles, transfer cases distribute power from the transmission to the front and rear axles. Whether your vehicle uses gears or a chain-driven mechanism, our services ensure efficient power transfer and maintain the reliability of your vehicle's four-wheel-drive capabilities.
Transmissions
Transmission health is critical for vehicle safety and efficiency. Our transmission services include preventative maintenance like fluid changes and more extensive repairs. We address common issues such as difficult shifting, slipping, and leaks to maintain your transmission in optimal condition.
Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are crucial for smooth wheel operation and are integrated into the vehicle's wheel assembly. They reduce friction and allow free rotation of the wheels, crucial for safe driving. Our services include regular checks and replacement of worn bearings to prevent noise, vibrations, and potential wheel lockup.
4x4 FAQs
Is there a difference between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive?
Both all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) engage all four wheels, but with a twist. AWD uses three differentials (front, rear, and center) for continuous power distribution, making it ideal for everyday driving with improved traction. 4WD typically uses two differentials and can be switched between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes, offering more control for off-road adventures.
Are 4x4 vehicles meant just for off-road driving?
While off-roading is their specialty, 4x4s aren't just for outdoor enthusiasts. Their enhanced grip and stability tackle slippery city streets and uneven landscapes with ease, offering peace of mind for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who values dependable performance in diverse conditions.
Is running a four-wheel drive expensive?
Four-wheel drive fuel economy and maintenance might seem daunting, but it's a nuanced picture. Frequent off-road adventures and towing will impact costs differently than city commutes. Analyze your driving habits and needs before comparing 4x4 and 2 wheel drive costs.

Stephen was very friendly and efficient. Service could not be better. -
Eddie Holden, 07/24/2024
Had tried through our insurance and they couldn't find a tow service available. They told me if I could find one use it they'd reimburse me. I called a competitor and got no answer. I'd heard Whiteheart was a good towing company so gave them a call, this is one a Sunday night pouring rain was told they'd be there in 30 minutes. 20 minutes later he pulled up was extremely polite we talked as he hooked up the van we got in and I was safely home in less than 20 minutes. I recommend them very highly you will not be disappointed.

Brennan was phenomenal! I needed towing from Winston-Salem to High Point with my 7 year old. Brennan looked at the problem and diagnosed it accurately. Too bad I still needed towing. He was professional, caring, and considerate of my little one. He and his truck was clean! That means a lot. I ran into this company through AAA, but will definitely think of them when I need their service again! Thank you for a great experience during a trying time. -

Enrique Noyola came out and towed our car to the dealership because the battery was dead. He was so kind and considerate. He did such a great job. We were very impressed by the customer service he provided. -

I was coming back from Kentucky and broke down in Rural Hall with my elderly mother in tow. I have AAA and they left me stranded for 3 hours until they finally called Whiteheart to come and get us. And it was only 30 minutes from the time Whiteheart got the call that they were there to help. I was angry with AAA because they did not call this company sooner. Had I known of this company before this night I would have called them directly and skipped AAA. The tow truck driver (sorry I do not remember his name) that came to rescue us was so polite, professional and and helpful. It had started raining and he let us get in the truck while he hooked the car up. He got us down the road and home within an hour, along with some great conversation. I am so appreciative that he came so quickly and got us where we needed to go safely. THANK YOU!!!!
