Suspension and Steering Repairs
Shock Absorber
Worn or damaged shocks can lead to poor handling, longer braking distances, and uneven tire wear. Regular inspection is essential to prevent these issues, as well as to ensure the overall stability and comfort of the vehicle.
Strut Replacement
Struts are a key part of a vehicle's suspension system, combining the functions of a shock absorber and a structural component that supports the vehicle's weight. They help maintain proper alignment, provide stability when cornering, and absorb road impacts for a smoother ride.
Control Arm Repair/Replacement
Control arms are essential components of a vehicle's suspension system, connecting the chassis to the wheels while allowing them to move up and down smoothly. They help maintain proper wheel alignment, ensure stability, and control the motion of the tires for optimal handling.
Steering Rack and Pinion Repair
Over time, wear and tear can cause the steering rack and pinion to become loose or develop leaks, leading to difficult or unresponsive steering, unusual noises, or even complete steering failure.
Power Steering Pump Replacement
A failing power steering pump can also cause whining noises, fluid leaks, or jerky steering movements. Replacing a damaged power steering pump is essential to restoring smooth, effortless steering and ensuring the safety and performance of the vehicle.
Spring Replacement
In most cases, the entire shock absorber is replaced when it becomes worn or damaged. Springs may be replaced separately if they are damaged, weakened, or sagging, while the shock absorber itself is still in good working condition.
Sway Bar Repair/Replacement
The sway bar, also known as an anti-roll bar. If the sway bar or its links become damaged or worn, you may experience excessive body roll, reduced handling, and less stable steering, particularly when turning
Ball Joint Repair/Replacement
Ball joints act as pivot points between the control arms and the wheels. They allow for smooth, controlled movement of the suspension while enabling the wheels to steer and move up and down independently.
Wheel Alignment
Proper wheel alignment is crucial. It ensures even tyre wear, improves fuel efficiency, enhances handling, and vehicle stability. Misaligned wheels can cause the vehicle to pull to one side, and makes steering more difficult.
The Importance of Regular Service and Repairs
Taking care of your car is essential to keep it running smoothly and safely on the road. Regular service and repairs are the key to ensuring that your car is in top condition and ready to face any road challenges. Whether you’re a seasoned car owner or just starting out, make sure to schedule regular service and address any issues promptly to ensure the longevity and safety of your vehicle.
Service
Regular service is the key to keeping your car in good condition. During a service, a mechanic will check the various components of your car, such as the engine, brakes, suspension, and transmission, to make sure everything is functioning properly. They will also change the oil and oil filter, check the battery and tire pressure, and top up any fluids that may be low.
Service intervals vary depending on the make and model of your car, as well as how much you drive it, but it’s generally recommended to have a service every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. Regular service will not only keep your car running smoothly, but it will also help to identify any potential problems early on, allowing them to be fixed before they become more significant and expensive to repair.
Repairs
No matter how well you take care of your car, there will come a time when it needs repairs. It could be a simple fix, such as changing a blown bulb or a more complicated issue, such as a faulty transmission. Regardless of the issue, prompt and proper repairs are crucial to ensure the safety of you and your passengers, as well as the longevity of your car.

It’s important to have a trusted mechanic who can diagnose and fix the problem quickly and efficiently. If you’re unsure about the problem, you can take your car to a mechanic for a diagnostic check. They will run tests on the various systems to determine the issue and then provide you with a quote for the repairs.
DIY repairs can save you money, but it’s essential to have the right tools and knowledge to do the job correctly. If you’re not confident in your ability to perform the repair, it’s always best to seek the help of a professional.
