Subaru Suspension Service FAQ
1) Do you service all makes and models, or only Subaru?
We’re Subaru-savvy, but we repair all makes and models with the same diagnostic rigor and alignment precision.
2) How do I know if I need struts/shocks or bushings?
If you notice clunks, poor stability, or uneven tire wear, you likely have worn dampers or bushings. We’ll inspect, measure, and show you evidence (photos/video) before recommending repairs.
3) Can you set custom alignment specs for performance or off-road?
Yes. We can build for grip, tire longevity, lift/level kits, or your preferred street/track balance. You’ll receive a printout and we’ll review the results together.
4) What parts do you use?
We recommend OEM or vetted aftermarket (Bilstein, KYB, Whiteline, Moog, SPC, etc.) based on your goals and budget, with clear warranty coverage.
5) How much does a steering or suspension repair cost?
Costs vary by diagnosis (e.g., ball joints vs. full strut assembly). After inspection, we provide a firm, written estimate and discuss options before any work proceeds.
