Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle Repair | Coeur d'Alene

Are you buying a new car in or around Coeur d’Alene but are undecided between a two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicle? You may be debating which of the two drivetrains is better for your commuting needs. We explain the difference so you can make an informed buying decision as well as learn the pros and cons of each.

Traction

Four-wheel-drive cars and trucks typically have more power. This extra power is distributed across all four wheels, which drastically boosts straight-line traction.

Gas Mileage

While four-wheel-drive automobiles often have more horsepower, that extra power means decreased fuel efficiency. As the motorist, you have to make the decision between horsepower and gas mileage. Which one is of more value to you as a commuter?

Resale Value

Four-wheel-drive cars have a higher resale value on average, and it shouldn’t be too hard to find a buyer that values higher horsepower and torque. This is especially so in the Pacific Northwest region, known for its off-road trails.

Maintenance

Four-wheel-drive vehicles require specialized maintenance. This entails servicing of components like the locking hubs, rear and front differentials, etc. Keep in mind that four-wheel-drive car maintenance is not a service every general auto repair shop may provide.

Michael and Tyler are just great downhome people, treat you more like family than a random customer. Never felt more welcome and they are a wealth of knowlege.

I was impressed with the accommodation with scheduling for winter weather issues, pricing, fast service, photo of issue needing repair, attentive and helpful staff and detailed emailed estimate. Good follow up and understanding of my concerns. Having been at the mercy of a merciless dealership for 10 years I intended to sell my vehicle, having found Davis I am thrilled to be able to afford the upkeep and keep my rig!

I have an old, rare, wonderful tractor that is sometimes hard to find parts that fit and work perfectly, but Davis Diesel Automotive came through again!!! Thanks for all you guys do...you are truly a blessing to have near by (relatively speaking...we live in Bonners Ferry, Idaho). Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I don't know why I keep getting this request. I went to Davis Diesel once when I owned a "99" Dodge diesel P/U to stop an oil leak. They stopped it. Period. I traded it off in 2010 for a Toyota (Gas) P/U. It's now 2021 and now I'm being asked this question?

This was the second time I took my Dodge truck into Davis Diesel. They didn't disappoint again. I was so impressed with how thorough they were with my trucks. The guys are always professional, their shop is always clean and they're reasonably priced based on their quality work. I will continue to take my diesels to Davis Diesel.

Super happy to have work done by these guys! They went above and beyond with communication of the diagnosis process. They even went ahead and priced out the repair costs so I could have a hard copy to keep on file. Not only that though, they forgot to leave me the estimate for the repair costs. So they went ahead and mailed it to my house with a hand written note. Incredible customer service. Along with very reliable service. Would recommend to anyone.

I'm grateful that they were able to get me into the shop quickly to look at my truck. The turbo quit working and was blowing black smoke. They were able to fix a hose that had blown off. I'm grateful for a honest shop who got me in quickly and didn't try to do any work that wasn't needed!

Exactly what I expected, which is great. I was treated very fairly, I was kept informed about the process, everything was carefully explained. My truck was delivered on time, promise kept, very rare! My experience was overwhelmingly positive and I now consider Davis Diesel to be my shop for my 2002 F350.
