RODA SERVICE
Replace CV Boots
Constant Velocity (CV) boots protect your axle joints by sealing in grease and keeping out dirt and debris. Over time, these rubber boots can crack, split, or tear — allowing grease to escape and contaminants to enter.

THE RODA WAY
Our Front CV Boot Replacement service restores that axle protection, ensuring smooth power delivery to your wheels and extending the life of your CV joints. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
Why Estimates May Vary
$225 - $405 with RodaCare
$250 - $450
Our goal is full transparency — pricing may change slightly based on:
- Vehicle design and drivetrain (front-wheel drive vs. all-wheel drive affects access)
- Boot type (inner vs. outer boots differ in labor and complexity)
- Extent of damage (if the CV joint has already been contaminated, replacement may be required)
We’ll always provide an exact quote after inspection — no surprises, ever.
When You Need This
A damaged CV boot should be repaired right away to prevent full axle or joint failure. Look out for these warning signs:
Grease Splatter Near Wheel or Suspension
Fresh grease on the inside of your wheel or undercarriage indicates a torn boot leaking lubricant.
Clicking Noise When Turning
Once a torn boot lets contaminants in, CV joints can start to wear, creating a rhythmic clicking when steering.
Visible Tears or Cracks
Rubber boots can dry out over time — even small cracks can lead to grease loss and contamination.
Vibration During Acceleration
Damaged or unlubricated CV joints can cause vibrations through the front end when power is applied.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
A torn CV boot quickly leads to CV joint failure as grease escapes and dirt enters. Replacing a boot is a simple, low-cost repair — but ignoring it can mean replacing the entire axle assembly, which is far more expensive.
How This is Done
We perform each CV boot replacement with care to ensure complete protection and long-lasting results.
1. Inspect CV Joints & Axles
Check both inner and outer boots for cracks, leaks, or contamination.
2. Remove Affected Axle (if necessary)
Gain access to the boot and joint assembly.
3. Clean & Repack CV Joint
Remove old grease and apply fresh, manufacturer-approved lubricant.
4. Install New Boot & Clamps
Securely fit the replacement boot and fasten with precision clamps.
5. Reassemble & Test Drive
Ensure quiet operation, no leaks, and smooth power delivery.

Rated 5-stars by hundreds of DC-area drivers
“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.Can I just replace the torn boot instead of the whole axle?
Yes — if the CV joint isn’t yet damaged. We’ll inspect it and let you know which option makes the most sense.
What causes CV boots to tear?
Age, heat, road debris, and normal wear can all cause cracks or tears in the rubber over time.
Should I replace both sides at once?
It’s often a good idea — if one boot has failed, the other may not be far behind.
Do you use OEM or aftermarket boots?
We use OEM-quality boots and clamps that meet or exceed manufacturer standards.
What does the Roda warranty cover?
Every service, including this one, is backed by the Roda 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, covering both parts and labor for your peace of mind.
