BMW Suspension Repair FAQ

1) How do I know if my BMW needs suspension work?
Clunks, vibration, uneven tire wear, or a drifting steering wheel are common signs. A road-test and inspection will confirm bushing, joint, or mount wear.

2) Do you handle electric BMW steering systems?
Yes. We service EV and hybrid EPS systems, suspension, and alignments with high-voltage safe procedures.

3) Will I need an alignment after suspension repairs?
Yes—any steering/suspension work that affects geometry should be followed by a four-wheel alignment to protect tires and restore handling.

4) Can you use OEM or performance parts?
Absolutely. We offer OEM, OE-equivalent, and performance options, then torque everything to spec with new hardware when required.

5) How long does a typical repair take?
Most inspections are same-day; many repairs are completed the same or next business day depending on parts and scope. We’ll confirm timelines with your estimate.
