BMW Suspension Repair FAQ
1) How often should my BMW get an alignment?
Every 12 months or 15,000–20,000 km, and anytime after suspension work, curb/pothole impacts, or uneven tire wear.
2) Do I need OEM parts for the best steering feel?
OEM is excellent, but we also offer premium equivalents that meet or exceed OE specs. We’ll show you options by price, warranty, and performance.
3) My BMW pulls or the wheel sits off-center—alignment or parts?
We’ll measure first. If specs are out, alignment may solve it. If not, we check bent arms, worn bushings, or steering components before aligning.
4) Can you service BMW adaptive/air suspension and EPS?
Yes. We diagnose EDC/adaptive dampers, air springs/compressors, ride-height sensors, and perform EPS/steering-angle calibrations.
5) Do you work on Electric Vehicles and non-BMWs too?
Absolutely. We service EVs, hybrids, and all makes & models with the same expertise and transparent reporting.
