What to Expect With a Suspension Service
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.

Signs That Your Suspension Needs Attention
It’s important to recognize the warning signs that indicate your suspension may need repair. Ignoring these can lead to more significant issues and safety concerns.
Look out for:
- Uneven Tire Wear: If you notice that your tires are wearing unevenly, it might be time to check your suspension.
- Excessive Bouncing: A vehicle that continues to bounce after going over a bump likely has suspension issues.
- Pulling or Drifting: If your car pulls to one side while driving, it's a sign that your suspension might be unbalanced.
- Nose Diving: A noticeable forward lurch when braking could indicate worn shocks.
- Rough Ride: If every bump in the road feels intensified, your shock absorbers might need a check.
Each of these issues impacts your control over the vehicle, contributing to increased stopping distances and reduced steering accuracy. Addressing these warning signs promptly with a professional inspection can prevent costly repairs and ensure continued driving safety.
