Steering and Suspensions Services
Bushes
Bushes are crucial components that provide cushioning and reduce vibrations between different parts of your suspension system. Worn or damaged bushes can lead to increased noise, vibration, and poor handling. Replacing faulty bushes improves ride comfort and maintains proper alignment, ensuring a smooth driving experience.
Shocks
Shock absorbers play a vital role in controlling your vehicle’s suspension and providing a comfortable ride. Worn shocks can lead to excessive bouncing, poor handling, and uneven tire wear. Our shock replacement services restore your vehicle’s stability and ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience.
Suspension Noises
Unusual noises from your suspension, such as clunks, squeaks, or rattles, often indicate underlying issues like worn components or loose connections. Identifying and fixing these noises early can prevent further damage and maintain the integrity of your suspension system.
Steering Play
Steering play refers to excessive movement or looseness in the steering wheel, making your vehicle difficult to control. This can result from worn steering components, such as tie rods or steering racks. We diagnose and correct steering play issues to restore precise handling and safety.
Steering Joints
Steering joints, including tie rod ends and ball joints, are essential for transferring the motion from your steering wheel to the wheels of your vehicle. Worn or damaged steering joints can lead to poor steering response and uneven tire wear. We inspect and replace faulty steering joints to ensure safe and accurate steering.
WOF Failure
WOF (Warrant of Fitness) failures related to steering and suspension can be due to various issues, including worn shocks, damaged bushes, or faulty steering components. We provide comprehensive repairs to address WOF failures, ensuring your vehicle meets safety standards and is roadworthy.
Suspension Arm
Suspension arms, or control arms, connect the wheels to the vehicle’s frame and play a crucial role in maintaining proper wheel alignment and handling. Damage or wear to suspension arms can cause steering issues, uneven tire wear, and compromised safety. Our services include inspecting and replacing suspension arms to keep your vehicle stable and responsive.
Ball Joints
Ball joints act as pivot points for your vehicle’s suspension and steering systems, allowing smooth movement and control. Worn or failing ball joints can lead to clunking noises, steering problems, and uneven tire wear. We provide ball joint inspections and replacements to maintain safe and efficient vehicle operation.

I took my car there to get fixed after I was hit and my rear upper controler arm was bent. They gave me the best estimate, and had the work done super quick! The customer service was amazing, and they were very polite and knowledgable!
I would recommend Car Repair Service to anyone without a doubt! Very professional and reliable. The best customer service and reasonable prices. My go to auto shop from now on!!!
Told them to replace my belt tensioner due to frequent squeaking after replacing my belt. They looked around and said, “nope, take the belt back and ask for a new one under warranty”.. Charged me $12, and after installing a new belt, turns out they were right.
