We won’t settle for a car that’s barely running. We want your vehicle to drive strong and last the long-haul.

One of the best ways to keep your car driving at full capacity is to handle service requirements immediately. At the first sign of trouble, call our San Antonio auto repair shop for an inspection. Taking care of minor issues immediately will prevent more expensive problems down the road.

To fully understand proper care of your vehicle, here are the symptoms of drivetrain and suspension trouble.

Symptoms of suspension problems

With suspension service, too many drivers believe they can wait until after something crucial breaks. However, the best way to protect your suspension is to keep up with regular maintenance checks and to schedule an inspection at the first hint of trouble.

The symptoms of a compromised suspension include:

• Strange noises
• Loose steering
• Wandering drive
• Improper tire wear
• Excessive bouncing

Don’t wait for a more costly repair (or replacement). Call for a suspension inspection as soon as you notice one of the symptoms of a damaged suspension system.

Symptoms of drivetrain problems

Many Texas drivers believe the drivetrain system requires little to no maintenance. In fact, the drivetrain requires regular service just like any other part of the vehicle. Check your owner’s manual to know the correct intervals to schedule maintenance service.

The symptoms of a compromised drivetrain include:

• Strange noises
• Vibrations
• Fluid leaks
• Shifting problems
• The “check engine” light is on

Your drivetrain is too fundamental to be forgotten. By neglecting your drivetrain, you could damage your transmission and cause expensive or permanent damage to the vehicle.
