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.

Great service they hand me in and fixed in 2 hours thanks Kevin
Kevin and his crew quickly got to the bottom of my non functioning front signals on our Jeep Wrangler. They had to order the part and will install as soon as it is in. Also easy to work remote while using their nice lounge.
Was stuck out of town in the snow, Kevin and the guys got me in and found my problem and got me back on the road the next day. Great place thank you thank you
I have been put through hell when I comes to mechanics working on my vehicles, but not at Art of Maintenance. They got my vehicle in and tested the issues quickly, did the work right and made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way. Every question I had they answered and made me feel like my car was in good hands. Now having my car back all of the issues have been fixed, and I have peace of mind. Car maintenance is not cheap but at least when you go to Art of Maintenance they make sure you get the best customer service with efficient and accurate work.
Thank you!!
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!
The team at Art of Maintenance is fantastic. They treated my car as if it was their own. One shop told me I needed new brakes and I brought to Art of Maintenance for second quote and they said I was good for a while longer on brakes even though it meant loss of business for them. They will be my new auto shop moving forward!
Great mechanic
They where able to get me in the same day , very freindly and I will ne back, this is not my first time and will not be my last. Very professional , accurate and honest
Had my oil pan replaced yesterday. Amazingly fast service! They also did a complete vehicle checkup on this older car and gave some tips on what needs to be done to keep everything working. Got more than I expected and paid less than quote. 5 stars for sure. Will use them again.
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.
I had a flat tire, so I Googled tire repair, and Art of Maintenance was close, so I dropped in. They took the tire, and within minutes had it repaired and I was on my way. Great professional team!
My ignition switch was almost completely done for in my car. They quickly fixed it for me on short notice (a day and a half) and quoted me about $400 less than another shop in the area. Thank you!
