Brakes, Tires & Suspension

Your car's suspension system is responsible for smoothing out the ride and keeping the car in control. Specifically, the suspension system maximizes the friction between the tires and the road to provide steering stability and good handling. The suspension system also provides comfort for passengers to limiting the impact of particular road conditions to not only the car, but the passengers riding inside.

The suspension system is made up of several components, including the chassis, which holds the cab of the car. The springs support the vehicle weight and absorb and reduce excess energy from road shocks, along with the shock absorbers and struts. The anti-sway bar shifts the movement of the wheels and stabilizes the car. Hub bearings ensure wheels spin properly around the axle. And finally, the brake pads, rotors and calipers ensure your car can be slowed and stopped.

If you experience any clunks on bumps, clicks around turns, or squeaky breaks, give us a call or drop off your car and we'll help you discover exactly what needs to be serviced! Our team of mechanics at Dominick's Auto Repair are experienced in repairing all foreign and domestic vehicles.
