Grease is an important protectant for many parts of your car. While it isn’t used in your engine, it is used in several other areas, including the CV joints on your axles, as well as the grease fittings on your suspension (many newer cars have sealed fittings that aren’t serviceable today). It’s also used in rear-wheel drive applications – a truck’s driveshaft may have one or even two grease fittings. However, if you’re noticing grease on the inner edge of your tires, it means that something has potentially gone wrong.

How this system works:

There are a couple of places that grease on the inner edge of your tires might have come from. The most likely is from the CV joint. CV axles, or constant velocity axles, are used in front-wheel drive cars to connect the wheel hubs to the transmission. They have two joints, one close to either end. The joints are made to be flexible, so that your car can travel over bumps and dips easily without losing traction.

The joints are flexible, and include moving parts. To protect them from damage from dust, debris and other threats, they’re covered by rubber “boots” filled with grease. This ensures that they’re constantly lubricated, and that dust and debris cannot enter and damage the joints.

However, over time, your boots wear. The rubber can become brittle from age, and can crack. Boots can also be torn through impact with debris in the road and more. When this happens, the grease can leak out, and dirt and debris can enter the joint.

Common reasons for this to happen:

  • Blown CV Boot: If you’ve noticed grease on the inner edge of your tires, there’s a chance that one of your CV boots has blown and is leaking grease out. This is a serious situation. Without grease, the joint is not properly lubricated. Even more worrying, dirt and debris can enter the CV joint and cause serious damage, requiring the entire joint to be replaced. If the situation is caught early, it’s possible that only the boot will need to be replaced.

  • Damaged Grease Fitting: Some vehicles have grease fittings on their suspension system that enable moving parts to move more easily with lubrication. If one of these is damaged, it’s possible that some of the grease may leak onto the edge of your wheel from a nearby grease fitting.

  • Recent Lubrication of Grease Fittings: Once upon a time, an “oil and lube” service really lived up to its name, with all of a car’s grease fittings being lubricated during normal maintenance. With most newer cars now having sealed systems, this has become less common. However, if your car has serviceable fittings, it’s possible that grease from a recent service somehow ended up on the inner edge of the tire.

  • Recent CV Boot or Axle Replacement: If you’ve already had a CV boot blow out and the axle has been rebooted, or a new CV axle has been installed, it’s possible that the mechanic did not clean off the inner edge of the tire after the repair.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to inspect the CV axles, boots, grease fittings and more. The mechanic will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How it's done:

The mechanic will inspect your CV axles and boots, as well as any grease fittings on your front suspension in order to determine the source of the grease on the inner edge of your tires. The mechanic may also need to test drive the vehicle to test for symptoms of a failed CV joint, which include clicking during turning, or a vibration while driving.

How important is this service?

If the problem is with your CV boots, having the situation corrected is critical. While it’s possible to reboot a CV axle before the boot blows entirely, or immediately afterward, any use of the vehicle with the boot blown can contaminate the CV joint with dust and dirt. This will eat into the joint itself, causing irreparable damage and requiring the entire axle to be replaced. If you’ve noticed grease on the inner edge of your tires, one of our professional mechanics can diagnose and repair the condition.

Jeep Liberty V6-3.7L - Power Steering Pump - La Mirada, California
I’m extremely upset over the overhaul of my Jeep on April 15th. I was under the impression the mechanic checks out the repair service before he sets off to work on the Jeep. I found out by the mechanic working on my Jeep that this is not true. He supplanted the power steering pump without checking the vehicle out. He asked me if another mechanic had come to diagnose the trouble. I told him no. I did not know this was a part of “My Mechanic”. He assured me this was not the case. Evidently, according to the mechanic a wrong part was purchased for the Jeep by “My Mechanic”. He had to pass on my Jeep to go to another job at 1:00 PM. He came back later that evening, I’m assuming with the correct part needed for the Jeep. From there I was told I would need a hose for the steering pump. He told me to call “My Mechanic” in the morning. I followed up with the phone call approximately 7:45 AM the following day. The individual I spoke to, told me not to worry my mechanic would be out today. I attempted to tell him about the hose needed and was cut off very abruptly from finishing what I was instructed by the mechanic As to tell the office what the problem was with having to have a new hose. No one called or showed up to work on my Jeep at all that day! Around 4:30 PM, I received a text message from the mechanic that was working on the Jeep. He inquired, if I had called the office that day. I texted, absolutely first thing in the morning. I was told you would be here to fix my Jeep. He texted really! I did not hear from him again until a few hours after. He texted me, it was going to cost me another $300.00 for the hose and labor. I did not possess an additional $300.00 to fix the Jeep until May 13th. I have no idea what is going on with the Jeep. Why it was not inspected before starting the service work on it. How do I generate the job to be finished on my Jeep on May 13th, as I have no idea what was done to it? Where did the old steering pump go if a new one was set in? It is harder for me to steer now than before it being worked on. This leaves me having to let it sit when street sweeping comes through. As it is nearly impossible for me to turn the steering wheel to move the damn Jeep. I’m very upset about the whole state of affairs. I received no paperwork. But gave him a monetary for working on the Jeep. It was suppose to occupy two hours to complete the job. I have no idea what new part was ordered wrong and that he had to run and get to replace the wrong part ordered. I’m writing this now to your company because I have been so extremely upset over your company’s services, I’ve been lose for speech on the unprofessional of this complete situation. Also, the information listed on the website for my Jeep is not correct. This needs to be corrected. You have the Jeep with not the actual mileage on one description and the other description of the Jeep is not actually correct either. For future checking facts I want this corrected, as I plan to sale it!

Jeep Liberty V6-3.7L - Oil Change - La Mirada, California
Unlike the other lube companies, Kevin didn't try to up sale me. I felt very at ease with the way he explained the workings of my oil in my car,he said "the oil was it's life's blood" and that i understood. He also pointed out a few other things that I had no idea that was going on just a spot of oil here and one there,caused by a leaking oil filter, that was it. Another place said it would be a few hundred dollars to repair. Thank You Kevin and Your Mechanic

Jeep Liberty V6-3.7L - Car is not starting Inspection - Summerville, South Carolina
Would recommend. I had a mechanic come out and look at my car within 24 hours of booking. Joseph was on time, communicated well and was able to diagnose and start my car which would not start previously. I was working at the time and did not even have to be there to get this done. He called me when he was done and sent a quote as well detailing all the services the car needs to fix the issue for a reasonable price. I quickly booked to have the services done and have someone coming out to fix it in less than 48 hours from his diagnosis. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone looking to avoid taking their car to a shop.
