Common questions
How do I know if my shocks are worn?
If your car bounces more than once after a bump, nose-dives when you brake, or the tires have scalloped wear, it's time to have them checked.
Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Usually yes, after replacing struts, tie rods, or control arms. We'll tell you up front.
What's that humming that gets louder with speed?
Often a worn wheel bearing or uneven tire wear. We'll pinpoint it on a road test.
