A smooth, straight ride
Control, comfort and even tire wear
Your steering and suspension keep the tires in contact with the road and the vehicle going where you point it. Shocks, struts, joints and bushings wear gradually, so changes can be easy to miss until the ride or handling feels off.
- Steering
- Keeps the vehicle going where you point it.
- Suspension
- Keeps the tires on the road over bumps.
Our ASE certified mechanics specialize in European & domestic vehicles, and we work on all makes and models.

Common questions
Good to know
Can't find your answer? Give us a call and we'll be happy to help.
Wheel alignment, uneven tire pressure, worn suspension parts or a brake problem can all cause pulling. An inspection narrows down the cause.
A bouncy ride, the front dipping when you brake, the vehicle leaning in corners, or uneven tire wear.
It can be a sign of a worn joint or mount. Some are minor, but these parts affect control of the vehicle, so it is best to have it checked.
Every vehicle and every problem is different, so we look at your vehicle first and then talk you through the cost. Call 224-269-5090 to ask about your vehicle.
