How to Know When You Need Steering or Suspension Service

It’s not always obvious when your suspension or steering system needs attention. Watch for these signs:

  • Your car pulls to one side
  • Excessive bouncing over bumps
  • Uneven or rapid tire wear
  • A loose or vibrating steering wheel
  • Noises like clunking or creaking while turning or braking
  • Difficulty maintaining straight-line driving

If you notice any of these problems, you might need a steering alignment, suspension alignment, or other repairs. Delaying service can lead to additional wear on tires, brakes, and other systems, making repairs more costly over time.

Finally had some time to rate and review. Was having issues with my 3 series and was anticipating bad news. Zach and Carlos diagnosed and repaired my issue. Now the car drives like new. Amazing! Plus the 3yr/36k warranty on the work- you just can’t beat that. Honestly, that’s just confidence behind their work. I’m bringing in my fleet. Thank you guys!

Bought a used 2014 x3 as an extra with 2 new/young drivers. VFC was great on the prepurchase inspection AND normal maintenance and minor repairs since then. I trust that they manage what needs to be done - not just looking at a list and doing/charging me. Trust matters and the value is good!
