Why Choose Art of Maintenance for Suspension Service
We treat suspension work as a precision craft rather than a simple parts swap. Before we turn a single wrench, our technicians perform a detailed evaluation to ensure that a suspension service is the right move for your car’s specific needs. We look at the harmony between your shocks, struts, and steering links to make sure our solution provides a lasting fix, not just a temporary cushion. We believe that your car’s frame should work as a unified system, so we carefully inspect every bushing and connector to prevent old vibrations from ruining new parts. This approach ensures that your investment results in a ride that feels balanced and brand new.

How to Tell Your Car Needs an Inspection
It isn’t always obvious when your vehicle’s support system is wearing out, but your car will usually give you a few hints. If you start to notice any of these issues, it might be time to bring it in for a suspension service:
The car feels like it is pulling to one side even on flat roads
A car can feel like it’s pulling to one side on flat roads due to issues such as uneven tire pressure, misaligned wheels, worn suspension components, or a dragging brake on one side.
The car keeps bouncing long after you hit a bump
A car keeps bouncing long after hitting a bump because of worn or failed shock absorbers or struts, which can no longer properly dampen the spring’s motion and stabilize the vehicle.
You notice the vehicle "nose-diving" forward when you hit the brakes
A vehicle “nose-dives” forward when braking because worn shocks or struts, soft or sagging front springs, or uneven brake force allow excessive weight transfer to the front suspension.
You hear a loud clunking or knocking sound when turning
A loud clunking or knocking sound when turning can be caused by worn or damaged components such as CV joints, tie rod ends, ball joints, or loose suspension parts that shift under load.
Your tires are wearing down unevenly or appearing "cupped"
Tires wear unevenly or develop a “cupped” pattern due to worn shocks or struts, improper wheel alignment, unbalanced tires, or inconsistent tire pressure that causes irregular contact with the road surface.
The steering wheel feels loose or shakes while you drive
A steering wheel that feels loose or shakes while driving can be caused by unbalanced or misaligned wheels, worn tie rods or steering components, loose suspension parts, or uneven tire wear.

I’ve been going here for years for electrical problems for my cars. There the place I recommend everyone for anything electrical but I purchased a new car the other day right down the street from them and they were willing to squeeze me in for a pre purchase inspection. Even though they were down one mechanic.
Great service!
These guys are great.
Great service, quick turnaround time. Will go back.
Excellent service, if I have more problems this is where I’d go.
They took care of some coolant leaks for my truck. Thank you every thing and everything went great I will be back!!
I have had a variety of small and large repairs done on a 2010 vehicle over 2 years. I am very happy with the quality of work, service and general professionalism. I trust the team at Art of Maintenance and I waited until they had done a significant amount of repair work to make this judgement.
This shop was able to accept my car early when I had a emergency coolant leak. The repairs were done in a day with regular maintenance and a window issue to boot. I recommend this professional and friendly shop.
Brought in our old X5 for a radiator leak and James and Kevin were communicative and helpful when it turned into much more of an issue.
5 STARS!!! These guys were AMAZING! I called with a flat the day after Thanksgiving, when every Tire Center was slammed, and Portland Tire Center squeezed me in short-notice and got me back on the road! My travel plans were maintained due to such great service! Thank You Kevin!
I had excellent service here this past week! Quick, efficient, and kind staff who got my car fixed up in no time when my check engine light unexpectedly came on. Definitely recommend!
Great mechanic! Very honest and prompt.
