Why Your Vehicle's Suspension Matters
Your vehicle's shocks and suspension system play several crucial roles:
- Safety: Maintains proper tire contact with the road for optimal braking and steering
- Comfort: Absorbs road impacts for a smoother, more comfortable ride
- Performance: Ensures stability during turns, stops, and emergency maneuvers
- Longevity: Protects your vehicle from excessive wear and damage
When your suspension system isn't functioning correctly, it can lead to unsafe driving conditions, accelerated tire wear, and a rough, uncomfortable ride.
Signs Your Shocks or Suspension Need Attention
Watch for these common warning signs that indicate your vehicle may need suspension service:
- Excessive bouncing after hitting bumps
- Noticeable dipping or "nose-diving" when braking
- Uneven tire wear patterns
- Vehicle pulling to one side while driving
- Knocking or clunking noises when driving over bumps
- Reduced stability during turns
- Fluid leaking from shocks or struts
- Visibly damaged or worn suspension components
If you notice any of these symptoms, our expert technicians at Spectra Auto Services can perform a thorough inspection to identify and address the issues before they lead to more serious problems.

Customer Testimonials
What People Say About Us
"I completely trust Spectra, they are honest and do great work!! I had an emergency with my car recently. I called Chris at Spectra and he took over. He called the towing company for me to schedule the pickup. Then called me back right away to let me know about when the tow truck would arrive. They looked at my car sent a report of what had to be done and what was suggested. I was even informed of the services that could wait, if needed."
