01
Clunking over bumps
A new knock or rattle deserves an inspection of the components moving with the road.
Suspension, shocks & struts
Suspension repair for rough roads
Clunks over bumps, a bouncy ride, uneven tire wear, or loose steering can make every Vancouver road feel worse. We inspect the system, explain the source, and wait for your approval before repair.

Start with what you notice
Bring us the ride that changed
Your description gives us a starting point. A focused inspection helps separate a worn component from alignment, tire, or steering concerns with a similar feel.
02
Bouncing or leaning
We check how the vehicle responds and look for worn or damaged parts that affect control.
03
Pulling or wandering
Steering feel can involve suspension, alignment, tires, or more than one system.
04
Uneven tire wear
Tire patterns can help point us toward alignment or a component that needs attention.
A clear path to repair
You approve the work before it starts.
The process stays straightforward. We listen first, inspect the systems involved, and ask before moving from findings to repairs.
