Get Every Bit of Power to the Wheels.

Your vehicle’s drivetrain transfers power from the engine and transmission to the wheels. This system includes the driveshaft, axles, CV joints, U-joints, and transfer case components that work together to keep your vehicle moving. When any drivetrain component fails, you may experience vibrations, clunking noises, or a complete loss of power to the wheels.

At Krietz Service Center in Frederick, MD, our ASE-certified technicians diagnose and repair drivetrain problems for all makes and models, including rear-wheel-drive, front-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and four-wheel-drive vehicles. Every drivetrain service is backed by our exceptional 30 Month/30,000 Mile Warranty on all parts and labor.

What We Service

Our service center handles the full range of drivetrain components and repairs:

• Driveshaft Repair & Replacement: Addressing worn U-joints, bent shafts, or imbalanced driveshafts that cause vibration and power delivery issues.
• Axle Repair & Replacement: Repairing or replacing damaged axle shafts, axle seals, and axle bearings that affect wheel rotation and stability.
• CV Joint & CV Axle Replacement: Replacing worn constant velocity joints and axle assemblies common in front-wheel-drive and AWD vehicles that click during turns.

When to Seek Drivetrain Service

Drivetrain problems often produce distinct symptoms that should not be ignored. Bring your vehicle to Krietz Auto if you experience:

• Vibration: Noticeable vibration through the floor, seat, or steering wheel, especially at highway speeds, often caused by a worn U-joint or imbalanced driveshaft.
• Clunking or Clicking: A clunk when shifting between drive and reverse, or clicking when turning, indicating worn U-joints or CV joints.
• Humming or Whining: A constant hum or whine that changes with vehicle speed, pointing to a worn wheel bearing or differential issue.
• Fluid Leak: Gear oil leaking from the differential, transfer case, or axle seals.
• Difficulty Engaging 4WD: The four-wheel-drive system does not engage or disengage properly, or makes grinding sounds during engagement.
• Loss of Power to Wheels: The engine runs but the vehicle does not move, or power is only delivered to one wheel.
