HOW OUR CUSTOMER SAVED $5,000… Recently, we had a 2014 Mercedes GL450 in our shop with a common issue: a worn-out chain in the transfer case. Dealerships often recommend replacing entire components rather than addressing the specific issue at hand. In this instance, the dealership would have suggested replacing the entire transfer case—a job that could set you back around $6,000. At Joe Davis Autosport, we believe in smarter solutions. Instead of opting for a full transfer case replacement, we assessed the problem and identified that only the chain needed replacement. We performed the repair for just 1/5th of the dealership's price. We specialize in European vehicles, which means our technicians are experts in the intricacies of these cars. This specialized knowledge allows us to diagnose problems accurately and implement targeted repairs such as this one.
