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.

Had a great experience at Art of Maintenance. Staff was very friendly and knowledgable and accommodated me the same day. They provide you with a report as well when you get your oil change of any other items you may want to address. That being said, they aren’t trying to upsell you on anything which is much appreciated.
I requested to see the spark plugs that they replaced and they also showed me the difference between a worn out spark plug and a new one.
excellent service!
Got me in and out the same day. All four new tires and an oil change. Easy process throughout and good communication.
Very thorough and professional
These folks are the most professional, fair, and genuine mechanics in Portland. Would not trust my truck with anyone else.
Recently had a clutch kit installed on my 05 mustang GT. The guys at Art of Maintenance were knowledgeable, friendly and very communicative. They stand by the work they do, was very impressed with the shop professionalism as well as the customer service.
Always professional and kind!!
They always do a top notch job and leave me with a car running better than before! I’ve used them ever since moving to Portland and I plan to stay with them!
I took my car in and got a oil change, Kevin was very nice . Their technician Ashton even washed my windows . I will definitely be bringing it back for all my maintenance and repairs
Everyone here was great, James went above and beyond. Had my car back in action way ahead of schedule – was refreshing to work with such a helpful auto shop! Thank you guys!
fast accurate service, they kept me informed every step of the way
