Oil Change Services

Do you love the smooth ride and superior handling of your vehicle? Is your ride suddenly less than comfortable? The reason for both is your vehicle’s suspension system.

This is a complex system made up of several components, and if any of them are damaged or loose, it will really compromise the comfort and overall experience of your ride. Whether you are looking to preserve the handling of your vehicle with suspension service or you are feeling every little bump in the road, the technicians at Total Auto Care are the certified expert mechanics you can turn to for the best suspension repair in our area.

Suspension Repair

With all the working parts involved in your suspension system, it is important to have it repaired at the first sign of trouble. Most of the signs that it is time for suspension repair show up in the way your vehicle feels. Some of the signs of suspension trouble include:

  • One corner of your vehicle is sitting or sagging lower than the rest

  • The front-end is diving or the back-end is squatting

  • There is a rolling movement when you turn a corner

  • Decreased shock absorption when going over bumps in the road

  • Increased difficulty steering

  • Your vehicle is pulling to one side or the other

If you are experiencing any of these issues, Total Auto Care is just a phone call away. Call us today or come by the shop.

Shocks & Struts

When most people think of their vehicle’s suspension system, they think of their shocks and struts. These are an integral part of your system, and are actually responsible for keeping your vehicle in proper contact with the road. The general guideline is to have them replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, but if you are noticing handling and steering issues, you may need to replace them sooner. Some of the signs you need to replace your shocks and struts include:

  • A decrease in steering response

  • Swaying or leaning when you change lanes or turn

  • Excessive bouncing while you drive

  • Your vehicle feels unstable when braking

If you can’t remember when you had your shocks and struts replaced, or if you are experiencing issues, call us today for an inspection.
