Do You Need Suspension Repair?
A worn or failing suspension system can quickly affect both comfort and safety if ignored. Here are some common signs that it's time to schedule steering and suspension repair:
Feeling Every Bump on the Road:Your suspension should absorb road imperfections. If you feel every pothole or dip, key components may be worn.
Nose Dives When Braking:Excessive forward dipping during braking often signals failing shocks, particularly in the front suspension.
Pulling or Drifting When Turning:This can indicate worn shocks or struts, reducing stability and control during cornering.
Uneven Tire Wear:If your suspension isn't holding the car level, it puts more pressure on certain tires, wearing them down faster.
Benefits of Steering and Suspension Repairs
Addressing suspension problems goes beyond ride comfort-it directly impacts control and safety. Proper steering and suspension repair helps your tires maintain consistent contact with the road, even during sharp turns or sudden stops.
Better handling and stability:
- Stay in control, especially in emergencies or rough driving conditions.
Longer tire lifespan:
- Even suspension means even tire wear, which saves you money in the long run.
Improved fuel efficiency:
- A properly aligned suspension reduces drag and rolling resistance.
Lower long-term repair costs:
- Small issues in your suspension system can lead to bigger (and more expensive) damage over time.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I've taken my truck here many times, for large and small repairs. The prices were reasonable and the repairs were well done and always finished within 1-3 days.
By far the best car repair shop I've used. Great communication, car experts, great listeners, courteous, and great customer service. Dakota and Darrel truly made me a believer that real car repair services DO exist, and right here in Farmington. Darrel's Firestone is what car repair should be like! From the moment I called, I explained my circumstances. I was welcomed to drop off my car, no waiting for weeks for an appointment. Very quickly, I had a diagnosis for my car which made sense. Within a short amount of time, the required part was ordered, received and repaired. If you have had bad experiences with dealerships, (we all know what those experiences feel like) Please try Darrel's Firestone! You'll feel like you won the lottery, you'll feel liberated from the stranglehold that dealerships seem so entitled to place on customers. And you'll get great, confident service! Like a lot of people, I've experienced horrible service at the hands of a dealership. If interested, see my review of Feldman Kia in Novi and the inexcusable service/non service I experienced there.
