If you drive a 4-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle in Wisconsin, you know how valuable it is when the roads get rough, snowy, or muddy. But like any complex system, your 4WD requires regular maintenance to perform at its best. That’s where a 4-Wheel Drive Operation Inspection comes in.

At Auto Select, our certified technicians take a close look at the critical components of your 4WD system to make sure it’s reliable year-round. Here’s what’s included in the inspection — and why it matters.

1. Performance Test

We start with a performance test to ensure your 4WD engages and disengages correctly. If your system hesitates, makes unusual noises, or fails to engage, it could leave you stranded when you need it most.

2. Drive Line Inspection

Your driveline transfers power from the transmission to the wheels. Over time, parts like U-joints, differentials, and transfer cases can wear out. Catching issues early prevents costly repairs and helps maintain smooth operation.

3. Fluid Check

Fluids are the lifeblood of your 4WD system. Transfer case, differential, and axle fluids can break down or leak, leading to serious damage. During the inspection, we check fluid levels and condition to keep your system properly lubricated.

4. Steering & Suspension Review

A reliable 4WD vehicle isn’t just about power — it’s also about control. We evaluate your steering and suspension for signs of wear, which can affect handling, safety, and tire life.

5. Tire Evaluation

Even the best 4WD system won’t help much if your tires are in poor condition. We inspect tread depth, wear patterns, and inflation to make sure your tires can deliver maximum traction.
