Jeep Repair in Tomball, From Wranglers to Classic CJs

Jeeps get driven hard and modified a lot, and that shows up in the front end, the engine and the transmission. We repair Jeeps at our shop on Calvert Rd in Tomball, from a daily Grand Cherokee to a lifted Wrangler or an old CJ.

The big one is death wobble: that violent shake through the steering after you hit a bump at speed. It usually comes down to worn or loose steering and suspension parts, and it needs fixing properly, not just a new steering damper.

We also do brakes, car AC, check engine lights, oil changes, rust repair and engine swaps on Jeeps. Call 936-661-2675 and tell us what yours is doing.

COMMON JEEP PROBLEMS

Jeep Problems We Fix, Death Wobble Included

Wobble on solid-axle Wranglers, Pentastar misfires, the Cherokee 9-speed and Hemi tick. If a recall or settlement still covers your Jeep, start there. If not, we’ll diagnose it and tell you straight.

Death wobble on Wrangler and Gladiator

NHTSA has logged hundreds of Jeep wobble complaints, mostly on solid-front-axle Wranglers. A settlement covered 2018–2020 Wrangler JL and 2020 Gladiator. Worn steering and suspension parts and bad lift installs all play a part.

Pentastar V6 misfire (left cylinder head)

Some 2011–2013 Grand Cherokee and 2012–2013 Wrangler 3.6L V6s had valve wear in the left cylinder head, causing a misfire and a check engine light.

Cherokee 9-speed transmission

The 9-speed automatic in 2014–2015 Cherokee had harsh shifts, surging and recalls, including one for dropping into neutral. Rough shifting is worth checking early.

Hemi tick on the 5.7L

A proposed class action alleges valve-train failures on Gen II 5.7L and 6.4L Hemis, including 2014–2022 Grand Cherokees. The sign is a ticking or knocking engine with misfires.
