Your drivetrain is where most of the process of moving your vehicle occurs. The drivetrain includes all the parts powered by the engine to turn the wheels, including the transmission, axles, or driveshafts that combine efforts to propel your car forward (or backward, when you’re in reverse.) At Hoff's Automotive, Inc. in Hackettstown, NJ, our drivetrain specialists are well equipped to keep your car, truck, or SUV reliably on the road and running smoothly along.

Whatever type of truck you run in your fleet, they all have a driveshaft that connects the transmission to the differential, transferring power to the wheels. At Hoff's Automotive, Inc. in Hackettstown, NJ, we specialize in diesel truck and fleet vehicle maintenance and repair, including precision driveshaft care.
