Steering is integral to your automobile for obvious reasons. Your suspension is also critical, otherwise every drive you take will feel uncomfortably bumpy and damage your vehicle. But what some people don’t know is that the steering and suspension are intrinsically connected.
If you’ve been searching, “steering suspension repair”, “steering repair Waterloo”, “suspension repair near me”, or something similar, we at TQ Auto Care can help. This article explains what you need to know about steering and suspension repair and maintenance.
You can! At TQ Auto Care, we are happy to offer steering and suspension repair to drivers in the Waterloo region. But how do we repair and maintain automotive steering and suspension systems?
Your car’s suspension system connects the wheels to the body of the vehicle. The suspension is essentially a system of linkages, springs, and shock absorbers. Suspension does much more than provide a smooth ride though. Without a suspension system, there wouldn’t be any relative motion between the wheels and the rest of the vehicle. So, if your vehicle’s suspension isn’t working, your vehicle isn’t working.
A good suspension system can make driving over small bumps unnoticeable and driving over large bumps safer and more comfortable. Even so, all these bumps, potholes, and divots take a toll. They can cause your suspension system, wheels, and axles to fall out of alignment.
If you’ve noticed uneven tire wear, then there’s a good chance that there’s something wrong with your suspension. A functioning suspension evens out the weight of your vehicle onto all four wheels. If it’s out of alignment, one or more tires will be carrying significantly more weight, wearing their treads down quicker. Noticeably bumpier rides are also common suspension problem symptoms. And bad suspension systems can also cause steering problems.
Your car’s suspension system connects to your steering. If it’s getting harder to steer, even with power steering, then there may be something wrong with your suspension. This is because your suspension is a big part of what keeps your wheels aligned while offering a comfortable ride. If your suspension can’t absorb impacts properly, then your wheels and axles can get jostled out of place, making it harder to steer.
Because your vehicle’s suspension goes through a lot, we at TQ Auto Care offer steering and suspension maintenance, repair, and realignment services in Waterloo. Our skilled mechanics can examine every part of your suspension system, including ball joints, shocks, and linkages.
If we find a part that’s damaged, we can replace it. We always pay close attention to suspension struts because they absorb impacts, just like shock absorbers. However, struts also support the chassis, so they’re a common stress point.
There’s no need to keep searching for a steering and suspension repair shop if you’re in or near Waterloo. Just come to TQ Auto Care or contact us to book an appointment! We can provide any steering, suspension, alignment or other routine maintenance service you need. To learn more about automotive steering and suspension, please contact us.
Had an OUTSTANDING experience with Total Quartz - Can Auto Care Waterloo. Took my car there for a fix to my brakes. They have everything you want in a car mechanic when you are looking for someone to fix you vehicle. Highly recommend you choose these guys for your next car repair. GREAT COMMUNICATION First their communication what prompt, responsive and clear. When I called I actually got to talk to someone and talk to them immediately and they were able to help me with my problem. They called me right when my car was done, I did not have to chase them down to find out if my car was done like I have had to in the past with other mechanics. EXLCELLENT PRICING I was very pleased with the pricing. I know many other garages would have charged me much more. I have purchased from these guys multiple times and their pricing has always been good and something I am pleased with. I have never had an experience where I felt over charged that has often happened to me at other garages. When I feel I have been over charged I don't go back to that mechanic again. Have never had that happen with these guys. EXTREMELY HELPFUL Next they were extremely flexible making it work with my schedule and easy for me to get my work done at their garage. They were also very helpful on educating me more about car parts. Talking to them you can tell they know what they are talking about. SUPER FREIENDLY Their staff was super friendly and very upbeat. I enjoyed talking with them, which is not always the case these days with mechanics. TRANSPERANCY They were very transparent with me telling me exactly what they were doing and when. They were sure to call me before doing any additional work. I have had other mechanics just go ahead and fix things I did not ask them to fix or do extra work they assumed I wanted. These guys called when they found something other than the initial job to fix and asked if they should do it or not. They were also okay not doing the 2nd item and did not give me a hard time or try to pressure me into having it done. FAST SERVICE I was thinking I would have my car back on Thursday morning and they got my car fixed ahead of time Wednesday afternoon. They got my car fixed very fast and ahead of schedule. EXPERIENCE I picked these guys because at the time of this service on my car they had over 1,117 review and a 4.8 star rating! That is unheard of to have that many reviews and maintain a 4.8 star rating in the auto repair industry! That right there is proof these guys consistently do outstand work.

Had a really great oil change experience at TQ. These guys were kind, knowledgeable, and not pushy at all. It was a quick service and they were very thorough. They offered a very fair price and were very helpful in choosing which package to use. As a first time customer it was a really good experience and I would recommend TQ to anyone in KW.
