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.

Always polite, helpful and got my truck back to me as soon as they could!
I trust these folks with the possession I need the most and know the least about. They do great work for a fair price and they’re pleasant on top of that!
They were able to do the work very fast and super friendly and helpful.
The service was great Kevin was very helpful and James was friendly. Will be back
I got stranded on a freeway on my way back home and the guys at Art of Maintenance took my car in at a very short notice! They diagnosed the issue in no time and started working on it right away. I was out of town with no family/friends in the area, just driving through, and folks at Art of Maintenance saved my life! Highly recommend!
Got me in and out the door with repairs to my Saab. Friendly service and reassurance offered as I drove my car to the shop. My new mechanic!
Great service and friendly staff. Helped me get some answers on a mysterious slow tire leak and recycled my rotors which had been living in my trunk for months!
Definitely would recommend their work and customer service. Thanks Art of Maintenance!
This shop is a gem. Runs on old school work ethic that is hard to find these days. Team is highly professional and communicative. I needed a quick tire patch. They took my car in same day despite their full and overflowing schedule given the upcoming memorial weekend. Now I can hit the road in time for my birthday trip safely and worry free. Thank you all so much!! Will be coming back for regular maintenance soon.
Awesome service. Great customer service
They’ve always done quality work on my car. That’s why I keep going back.
I was referred to Art of Maintaince and finally used them. Couldn’t be happier. 1 1/2 in the shop . When I was looking to book a Taxi to go home, they called Lyft and I left within 10 minutes. My van is feels brand new and I didn’t feel raked over the coals like other shops I’ve visited. Took it in and had a diagnostis done and picked the repairs. I actually can’t wait until my next round of service in January and that says alot
When we arrived at Art of Maintenance (after waiting for 2 hours for our AAA tow truck) it was just a few minutes before they closed. Thankfully they were really friendly and helped us right away. Our car was ready to pick up the next day, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service!
