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.

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 Your Suspension System Needs Attention
The suspension system is a crucial part of your vehicle's performance and safety. Ignoring suspension issues can lead to decreased vehicle control, dangerous driving conditions, and expensive repairs.
Watch out for these common signs of suspension system damage:
- Excessive Bouncing: If your vehicle bounces excessively after hitting a bump, it may be time to replace worn-out shocks or struts.
- Uneven Tire Wear: If you notice uneven or rapid tire wear, it could be due to suspension or alignment problems.
- Difficulty Steering: Unresponsive steering or a car that pulls to one side may point to suspension issues.
- Clunking Noises: Clunking or squeaking noises when driving over bumps could signal loose or worn suspension components.
- Vehicle Sitting Low: If one corner of your car sits lower than the others, it may be due to broken springs or other suspension components.
Addressing these signs promptly can prevent further damage and ensure that your vehicle stays safe to drive.
