The entire drivetrain of your car has to work together to get power from the motor to the wheels. In front wheel drive cars, the transaxle combines the transmission and differential into one unit, typically bolted to one side of the transverse-mounted motor. Rear wheel drive cars and trucks usually have a drive shaft with universal joints carrying power from the tranny to the differential out back.

Rear Differential
If you drive a rear wheel drive truck or car, chances are there is a differential out back with gears that roll around in their own oil bath. That oil has to be changed, but not nearly as often as engine oil—unless you are regularly fording streams up to your axles. Limited slip differentials—whether a Trac-Loc, Positraction, or some other name—also have clutches and spring inside that can wear out, especially if you are spinning your tires frequently. We can grease everything to spec and get things rolling again in no time.

CV Joints
All front wheel drive vehicles, and rear wheel drive vehicles with independent rear suspension, also have axles with constant velocity joints connecting the driven wheels to the differential. If you’ve ever heard a car make a clicking noise that gets worse when you turn one direction, and better when you turn the other, you know the sound of a bad CV joint.

Axles
If your car has a CV joint making noise, chances are it is already too late to save it. While we can remove and replace just one CV joint, typically the other one on the same half shaft is going to go shortly. That’s why most people prefer to replace an entire axle assembly with a new or rebuilt one instead of risking having to do the same job over in a few months.

Transfer Cases
Four wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles are unique in having an extra gearbox called a transfer case, which sends power to the front and back. Depending on the type of system, it may need to be lubricated periodically to insure proper function, or need its gear oil or transmission fluid changed. If your car or truck sends power to all four wheels, ask your service advisor about what your transfer case needs to stay healthy.

Brought my car in for air conditioner not blowing cold air. Velocity had my car ready the next day. Condenser needed to be replaced. Now the A/C runs nice and cold.

I Received an advertisement in the mail and it was time for my car to get inspected so I went online and setup an appointment and found the repair shop not far from my home. I didn't have to wait for the service and I was very pleased with the inspection and price of the inspection thanks 😀

I felt like I was having an honest experience with honest service techs. They wanted to get to the root of my problem with my car and not trying to make me have more done necessary. That means a lot to me. Finished with Mercedes dealership. Ron.

Our SUV broke down on our way to Galveston. Thankful that we found this mechanic shop, Unfortunately we had an engine cease and nothing they could do. As soon as we arrived Chris and Josh made me and my family feel welcomed and were compassionate about our situation. Thanks to their recommendations we were able to get the dealership to repair under the extended warranty. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a reasonable and honest mechanic shops.

I appreciate the complimentary inspection of my vehicle! I went in and they gave me a punch list of everything that is wrong with my car. I was very impressed!
I’m just looking to pay for the labor to fix problems with my car with parts that I provide. They do not use customer provided parts. I’m not looking for another warranty on parts that already have a warranty. They do make exceptions sometimes. Regardless, I’m glad I took my car in!

As a woman, it is hard to find car shops that will be transparent and actually educate you on things. Velocity auto care does just this. They even took the time to go back and forth with my annoying warranty company and got me the repairs I deserved. I recommend them over any dealership or shop in the area. Im 24 yrs old and feel confident going here to ask questions by myself. They have even postponed unnecessary repairs that dealerships insist I need, saving me tons of money.

Had a great experience, my car needed diagnostics since I was unsure what services it needed. They were really good about communication, letting me know cost estimates up front and following up with me frequently about when my car would be ready to take home. No one pushed me to get any services I wasn’t ready to get at the time and helped me sort out what I could wait to address. Larry did a lot to make me feel welcome!

Have taken vehicles in for simple oil changes. This time I took my 2001 Ford Ranger XLT in for a howling scream from rear end. Rear diff bearings shot. It was more cost effective to replace rear diff with a refurbished diff...to include axle/brakes with age of truck, now at 25 years. Worked with Chris at front desk. Long story short, rear end was replaced as mentioned. Truck has been running smooth since repair, no noise and continues to shift normally with auto transmission. Repairs of this nature cost $$$, so it was no surprise, as it shouldn't be to anyone else. Velocity gave 90 days on labor and 1 year on parts. I wish I had the skill set to make my own repairs, but I will be selling truck now, as original owner, to someone who hopefully does. Truck is at a lowly 181K for it's age. Many thanks to the crew at Velocity to keep my old, well maintained, truck on the road. Well done Velocity!

The guys here are honest and reliable. Larry was kind enough to get me in for a same-day appointment since I was coming from Galveston and had limited time after work. I came in for a second opinion after being quoted over $2,000 elsewhere for something that apparently wasn’t even broken.
The team at Velocity did a thorough inspection and confirmed that my struts were actually just fine. I truly appreciate their integrity and transparency. It’s rare to find a shop that genuinely looks out for you instead of upselling unnecessary repairs. I’m very grateful for their honesty and would absolutely recommend them! I will be bringing my car here for any future repairs.
