More than just a smooth ride...

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the “safety triangle,” consisting of the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

Your car’s suspension is more than just a way to make driving more comfortable – its an integral part of the vehicle’s design which plays an important role in safety and handling.

The steering system of a car enables precise maneuvering by transferring the driver's effort to the wheels. Through a series of pivot joints, the steering angle is allowed to remain unaltered even as the wheels adjust to changes in the suspension.

Shocks and struts, working alongside a car's suspension, effectively counteract the jarring of the vehicle over imperfect roads. Their two-part cycle, compression and extension, ensures that they respond in real-time as the speed of the car increases, providing an uninterrupted ride.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are crucial for the correct operation of these three critical capabilities and keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular inspection, servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

We are located in Salisbury and serve customers in the surrounding areas as well.
