What Is a Differential and Do You Have One?Posted June 26, 2022 8:09 AMWith front-wheel drive being so common these days in Walnut Creek, CA, the differential is just taken care of during a transmission service, so most Walnut Creek drivers don't even have to think about it. And rear-wheel drive differentials don't need to be serviced for years, so it's understandable that it's not something on the top of Walnut Creek customers' minds. It's not uncommon for drivers to not know they have a differential let alone know that it needs service. Call Gilmore's Auto Service in Walnut Creek at (925) 939-9430 for information about differential service, or stop by our Walnut Creek, CA, auto center at 2151 N Broadway, 94596. To better understand what a differential does, think about our local Walnut Creek high school track. There are lanes marked off on the track. For the longer distance races, the starting lines are staggered. The starting lines for the outside lanes are ahead of the starting lines for the inside lanes. That's to compensate for the longer length of the outside lanes. Staggering the starting lines means that each runner has the same distance to run. Gilmore's Auto Service | ||

Justin Lyon, 05/07/2024Phil was very helpful in scheduling my appointment and even starting to diagnose my issue over the phone. My car wouldn’t drive, wouldn’t go into gear, but he talked me through some troubleshooting and got me going again. That saved me a tow truck fee, thanks, Phil!
