When to Schedule a Check
Even the strongest systems need attention over time. Ignoring these early signs can lead to bigger mechanical issues later. A quick inspection can save you from costly repairs and keep your vehicle performing the way it should. If you start noticing any of the following, it might be time for a closer look:
A dashboard warning light that stays on
A dashboard warning light that stays on while using four-wheel drive indicates a faulty transfer case actuator, malfunctioning wheel speed or position sensors, low or leaking transfer case fluid, damaged wiring, or problems within the 4WD control module.
A delay or rough transition when switching to 4WD mode
A delay or rough transition when switching to 4WD mode can be caused by a failing transfer case actuator, worn or stretched shift linkage, low or degraded transfer case fluid, worn synchronizers or gears inside the transfer case, or electrical faults within the 4WD control system that interrupt proper engagement.
Visible fluid spots under the vehicle
Visible fluid spots under the vehicle after using four-wheel drive can be caused by a leaking transfer case seal, damaged differential gaskets, cracked housings, loose drain or fill plugs, or worn axle seals that allow gear oil or transfer case fluid to escape.
Unusual grinding or clunking noises while turning
This can be caused by binding in the transfer case, worn or damaged CV joints, failing universal joints, mismatched tire sizes creating drivetrain stress, or a malfunctioning front or rear differential that prevents smooth power distribution during turns.

Dude these guys are great. They’ve never overcharged in my experience, and do a thorough job. Shout out to Jason for keeping me updated with repairs.
They are the best!!! They could’ve charged an arm and a leg, but didn’t. They are integral, and good people. I’m a teacher, and we had a hard week at home. Mike’s genuineness, and integrity, were very timely, and appreciated. We will go to the shop again and again.
I had a really great experience here. Service was friendly and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. They also always maintained good communication throughout and the service was timely. I definitely see myself as a repeat customer.
Had my starter go out. They were able to diagnose and replace within two days despite being extremely busy. They also provided a full inspection without being pushy or trying to upsale. Good honest work. Thanks!
Had my oil changed and transmission flushed. They were very helpful and up front, easy to work with, and completed services in a timely fashion. I will definitely be bringing my car back to Jason and team.
Amazing service and great management. Jason was awesome and quickly found the issue in my tire. I was in and out in about 10 minutes and for only $20. 10/10 auto shop experience
Good, honest service. Reasonable prices. Jiffy Lube is right across the street from me, but I still make the 20 minute trip to Multnomah Automotive because of those qualities.
Staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, work was quality and efficient. Will be returning my business here going forward!
During the last year I have taken my Dodge to Multnomah Automotive for both a major engine repair and a standard oil change. I felt respected and cared for both times and highly recommend this friendly neighborhood shop.
I love this place. The owner is straight up. This is an awesome shop. My repair was concise accurate. I trust them implicitly and it’s a drive for me AAA rated… Check them out Jason has your back.
Definitely recommend Multnomah Automotive for those searching for local auto care needs. They are friendly, honest, communicative, and work til they find a solution for the problem. Very happy to have them around for our ever-evolving car problems. Thank you!
These guys are awesome! I had a problem with a battery install, brought the car back and they replaced the battery free of charge. Great communication, helpful advice too!
