2012 Cadillac Escalade Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Escalade's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Cadillac, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Escalade and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2012 Cadillac Escalade, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Cadillac's recommendations.

What Are Cadillac Escalade Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2012 Cadillac Escalade drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Escalade might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Cadillac Escalade doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2012 Cadillac Escalade drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
