Differential & Transfer Case Service in Boise, ID
Protect Your 4×4, AWD, or Truck With Clean, High-Quality Gear Oil
Your differential and transfer case are critical for getting power from your engine to your wheels especially if you drive an AWD or 4WD vehicle.
When these systems are low on fluid, contaminated, or worn, you may notice noises, vibrations, or trouble turning. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to expensive drivetrain damage and loss of control.
At Sager & Sons Auto, we inspect, service, and repair differential and transfer case systems to keep your vehicle driving smoothly and safely especially under Boise’s stop-and-go traffic and seasonal conditions.

Differential & Transfer Case FAQs
How often should differential and transfer case fluid be replaced?
It depends on the vehicle and how you drive. Many AWD/4×4 vehicles fall in the 30,000–60,000 mile range. Towing and mountain driving often need shorter intervals.
What happens if I delay this service?
Old fluid can lead to overheating, accelerated wear, noise, leaks, and expensive gear or bearing damage.
How long does this service take?
Most services are same-day. Timing depends on what systems your vehicle has (front/rear diff, transfer case) and whether we find leaks or contamination.
Is it safe to drive if I hear whining or grinding from underneath?
Not for long. Those noises can mean low or contaminated fluid and internal wear. Driving can turn a service into a rebuild.
Do you inspect for leaks during this service?
Yes. We check all visible components so the we can document what we see with a digital inspection so you’re not guessing.
