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.

We have used Art of Maintenance for many years with our older cars. They do quick and accurate repairs and service on our vehicles and are help at understanding how to prioritize what work needs to happen when you are on a budget.
I have known Jody for 5 yrs and Andy for 1 yr and they are very trustworthy and REALLY care about getting the work done right the first time. They are very knowledgeable and it is great that the shop is now under their new management. I recommend highly.
I didn’t think my 13 year old car could look new and smell clean again. Ryan did the impossible. We are very pleased with the amazing job he did detailing inside and out!
This is the only place I bring both of my cars to have work done, they are honest about what needs to be done and I also get a copy of the machine read out sent to my phone. The manager Kevin is knowledgeable has always taken care of any issue questions I may have and explains it so I understand unlike other place I tried in the past where they would talk down to me like I’m just another dumb female bothering them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have any kind of work done from a simple oil change to major work.
We were stuck out of town on our vacation, and found art of maintenance online , Kevin was very helpful getting us back on the road in a timely manner. Didn’t even charge us for a rain x treatment on our windshield!
Great service they hand me in and fixed in 2 hours thanks Kevin
External struggles made it hard for me to pick up and drop off my car, but they were incredibly patient and worked with me. Services were quick and efficient, with an itemized list of results from the check-in on my car (complete with pictures) and each service was completed very quickly compared to previous mechanics I have worked with. Will absolutely be coming back again for my next tune-up!
Great service! Short turn around time.
Great shop always takes care of mine and the wife’s cars
A big thanks to Kevin and the guys who worked on my son’s Subaru. I’m thrilled that when I send him back to college, he won’t break down on the freeway. Head gaskets are nothing to fool around with, and I appreciate the thoroughness in checking out everything else.
Great customer service!
They finished my car a day early ,great service mike the tech is amazing and Kevin is great to work with
