Don't Let Potholes Ruin Your Ride - Get Your Suspension Checked

This winter was a rough one in the El Cajon and La Mesa areas, with heavy rains leading to an abundance of potholes on local roads and highways. If you drive a luxury or performance vehicle like a Volvo, Lexus, BMW, Audi or Acura, these potholes can really take a toll on your car's suspension system. 

Your shocks, struts, and other suspension components allow your vehicle to smoothly handle bumps and dips in the road while providing a comfortable ride. But repeatedly hitting large potholes can cause premature wear or even damage to these vital parts. When the suspension is worn out, you'll notice issues like:

• Excessive bouncing or rocking after hitting bumps
• Nose dipping when braking 
• Rear end squatting during acceleration
• Uneven tire wear
• Rattling noises over bumps

All of these symptoms mean it's time to get your suspension system checked at Auto Tech. Our ASE-certified mechanics use the latest tools and techniques to inspect the condition of your shocks, struts, control arms, bushings and other related components. We provide honest assessments and only recommend repairs or replacements when truly needed.

Maintaining your vehicle's suspension not only delivers a smoother ride, but it's critical for safe handling, steering response and stability.
