Suspension Repair in Oconomowoc, WI

Keeping Your Vehicle Safe & Sturdy

From the road to the roof, each system in your vehicle relies on the others to function properly. The larger the system, the more important proper maintenance is to prevent expensive repairs. With your vehicle’s suspension, literally everything is riding on it! When your suspension is becoming problematic, it can manifest itself in ways you may not think. Below are some of the more common issues that come up with suspension repair. When your vehicle exhibits any of these signs, making a timely repair can be the difference between a quick service or major repair. Call us for an appointment at the first sign of any problems: (262) 567-0284

Signs You Need Suspension Repair

  • Steering that Pulls to One Side: a common wheel misalignment issue, pulling is a classic sign that your vehicle’s suspension system is struggling. Make sure you get your car in for suspension service, especially if you deal with severe cases of pulling.
  • Difficulty Steering: Your suspension can also affect your ability to steer effectively. If you find it takes more effort to turn your wheel and effectively maneuver, it could be the result of a leaking power steering rack or worn control arm bushings.
  • Feeling Every Bump: Suspension that is in good working order creates a smooth ride for the passengers, so they don’t feel the surface of the road hitting the tires. This is important for the winter conditions we endure here in Wisconsin. When your suspension needs repair, you will begin to feel more jostling as a passenger.
  • One Corner Sits Low: If only one area of your suspension is affected, this could create an odd look to your vehicle with one corner sitting lower than the others. Usually this means a spring has become too worn or damaged. This is often accompanied by clunking noises while you’re driving.
  • Rolling Sensation: If your shock absorbers or struts are wearing out, the effect will be noticeable when you brake. When you come to a stop, your vehicle will nosedive forward in an exaggerated movement because your suspension isn’t absorbing the reaction. This will also happen in sharp turns, as the vehicle will overcorrect to the other side once you straighten out.
  • Oily Shock Absorbers: Along with the sign listed so far that affects the ride of your vehicle, there’s a visual check you can do yourself. If your shock absorbers or struts look greasy, that is an indication of a leak. If your suspension fluid is leaking, the whole system will be less effective.

The customer service was excellent! I greatly enjoyed working with Chris throughout the day. They were able to diagnose that my passenger front wheel bearing was bad. They replaced the wheel bearing that day. However, you pay a premium for the great customer service. It was $700 for one wheel bearing when I probably could have gotten this work done elsewhere for less than $500. Also, their service receipts are very vague. They don’t break down the service costs by parts and labor which I fi... Read More

Lucas Krogmann

We are new to the area and they were very thorough with our car. They did not try to sell us on things that weren’t necessary. It’s an older vehicle and they understood that we are running it until it needs a major repair. I appreciated their honesty and that they listened to us and didn’t push repairs that aren’t necessary.

Charla DeClark

Silver Lake Auto did an excellent job with our car! They were very thorough, professional & provided great overall service. We are so glad we brought our car to them! They even washed & vacuumed it! We will bringing our cars back for sure.

Beth Garbe

I was extremely impressed with how thorough they were. They gave my car a detailed “going over” and explained each step in detail to me. Will definitely come back again and also recommend to friends and family.

Jeff Mair

Yes super nice very professional. They got me to my appointment during the time when my car was being worked on and even picked me up when I was done. They were patient with my crazy dog and everybody was very friendly. Thank you.

Lisa Kosmond

I discovered Silver Lake Auto in New Berlin because they do emission testing and they were so nice and professional so, thought I’d come back and use them to get my new tires. I just love how honest they are. I work mostly with Kresha and she is very honest, explains everything to you, and tells you what she would do if it was her vehicle. I really appreciate the honesty from her since I don’t know much about cars and rely on the professionals. Silver Lake did a great job and I will defin... Read More

Nicole T

I cant say enough about how much I appreciate what Silver Lake Auto did for me! They were extremely busy with other customers, and they still went above and beyond to fix my tire issue, getting me back on the road that same day. You guys are Awesome! Thankyou so much! Thank-you very much to you guys for helping get new tires and getting me in right away. Appreciate it so much. Thanks Chris for all your info and professionalism

Jarod Kohrt

Coolant sensor replacement, got done before I had emissions and they did the emissions. Did a thorough check of the car and ended up being $90 less than they quoted. They have changed my tires in the past and would recommend them. A little pricey, but I only got one other quote from another company.
