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 Pete B Service Inc 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:
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.

I was looking around for a classic Volkswagen specialist to restore my original 1968 Meyers Dune Buggy for quite a few months. I checked out places as far away as upstate New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island . I finally came across Pete B service after someone I met told me there was a great group of classic VW specialists at Pete B in Middle island . After going down to there shop and meeting Dirk and his crew I knew they were the right guys to work on my classic VW They did a fantastic job restoring my dune buggy. When I purchased my car it was sitting in a warehouse for over 35 years and needed everything. Dirk, Rich and Tom replaced parts when needed and rebuild the steering, brake system, fuel system , complete wiring harness and installed an engine I purchased for the car. It now runs and looking amazing!! Their attention to detail is top notch. The work was completed on schedule and to the original quoted price. As a bonus , Dirk the shop owner raced sand rails and is involved in off road racing. So he knows how to assemble your ride for on and off road use I highly recommend Pete B Service . If you have a classic VW I would not go anywhere else. 5 stars
I have a 1974 VW Karmann Ghia that Dirk has done work on. I would Not trust it to Anyone Else! He is a perfectionist with the work he performed and the care he takes with my VW classic Car. Peter B of Middle Island is the Best!
