It's an automotive system that includes every part involved in transmitting power from the engine to the wheels of your vehicle: transmission, axles, differential driveshaft, and more.

Smooth Power, Every Mile – Drivetrain Service at General Automotive Servicenter.

What's the difference between the drivetrain and the powertrain?

The powertrain is the bigger system, and the drivetrain is part of it. The powertrain includes the engine plus everything that delivers its power to the wheels, while the drivetrain is specifically the parts that carry that power to the wheels, not the engine itself. So an engine problem is a powertrain issue but not really a drivetrain one. If you are unsure which is giving you trouble, the trustworthy team at General Automotive Servicenter can sort it out.

If one drivetrain part starts to fail, can it damage the others?

It can, because the parts work together as a connected chain. When one component like a worn joint or bearing starts to go, it can put extra strain on the parts around it and speed up their wear too. At General Automotive Servicenter, we can catch it before it spreads to something bigger.

Does my type of drivetrain change what service it needs?

Yes, it does. Front-wheel, rear-wheel, all-wheel, and four-wheel-drive setups route power differently and have different parts, so what needs attention varies from one layout to the next. The expert team at General Automotive Servicenter will service your vehicle based on how its drivetrain is actually built. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
