Mechanical repairs

Steering and suspension

Suspension wears slowly enough that most drivers stop noticing. The car sits lower, floats over bumps, and takes longer to settle. Worn components also shorten tyre life and lengthen stopping distance.

What it costs

Depends entirely on which components have failed. We inspect on the hoist and quote per item, so you can stage the work if several things are worn.

We quote before starting. If the job changes once the car is on the hoist, we call you rather than adding it to the invoice.
