Specialized 4Wheel Drive Inc.

Have I had some great work done here a couple times, my vehicles are custom so there's that extra challenge. No reply to my emails so not sure they are still in business?

Joe did an excellent job in finding and repairing a serious water leak my 1998 Jeep Cherokee. This past winter we've had an enormous amount of rain in Sacramento (badly needed to end the drought.) In January I discovered that the entire floor on the front passenger side was soaked. My regular mechanic thought it might be caused by blockage in the air intake or evaporation system. When neither were the cause, he recommended a specialized 4WD. I brought the Jeep to Joe and within a day he found the problem (an inlet plug missing), searched for a replacement part (no luck), then made one himself. Unbelievable . . . problem fixed, price reasonable and Joe a really nice guy. Can't rec…

I’d had my 83 CJ5 at three different shops and I spent almost $1,500 trying to figure out what was going on with it (very loud vibration that would come and go). No one could figure it out and I was desperate. Last night I called this shop and the guy (owner?) told me to lock out the hubs on the front wheels. Not only did that fix the port it it also fixed the shuttering 1st gear start that I’d just grown to accept. Incredible. He solved all my problems and more in under 2 minutes over the phone! Much obliged and much respect!!

Joe is one of the best mechanics I've ever dealt with. He is very skilled. We've taken our 2000 Cherokee in several times and he does beautiful work every time. He is very kind and talks to people with respect. As a woman i haven't had great experiences with automotive people. They tend to talk down to us and not explain things. I know I can trust Joe to talk to me as a fellow jeep enthusiast and not some dumb woman with no idea about anything. He is quick also which is great when you can't wait to get your baby back on the road or trails.

Joe, the owner, is a great guy and he works hard. He has years and years of experience and a true passion for working on 4x4s. Bring your vehicles here, you won't regret it!
