Can hitting a curb really damage my suspension?

Yes. Even a low-speed impact can bend tie rods, control arms, or wheels, affecting stability and safety.

Will ICBC cover suspension damage?

Yes—curb or pothole impacts are typically eligible. We handle the entire claim process for you.

Do I need an alignment after hitting a curb?

Almost always. Even small impacts can knock alignment out of specification.

Can I drive my car if it vibrates or pulls?

It may be unsafe. Call us—we’ll advise and arrange towing if needed.

How long does suspension repair take?

Depending on parts, repairs range from same-day to a few days. ICBC approval time may vary, and we communicate updates throughout the process.
