Suspension & Alignment

Why you should get an allignment regularly.

A car’s suspension and alignment are crucial for a smooth and safe ride. The suspension system includes components like shocks, struts, and springs, which absorb bumps and maintain tire contact with the road. Proper alignment ensures that your wheels are correctly positioned, preventing uneven tire wear and helping the vehicle travel straight. Regular suspension and alignment checks are essential to maintain handling, tire longevity, and overall safety. When your suspension is in good shape, and your alignment is correct, you’ll enjoy a comfortable and stable driving experience.

Tire Wear Prevention

Proper alignment ensures that your vehicle’s tires make even contact with the road surface. Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, reducing tire lifespan and requiring premature replacements. Regular alignment checks and adjustments extend the longevity of your tires, saving you money in the long term.

Enhanced Handling and Stability

Accurate suspension and alignment settings contribute to better handling and stability. When your wheels are correctly aligned and your suspension is in good condition, your vehicle will respond predictably and safely to steering inputs, improving overall control and reducing the risk of accidents.

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency and suspension alignment are closely related. A properly aligned suspension system helps reduce rolling resistance, ensuring that the tires meet the road surface optimally. This minimizes the effort needed to move the vehicle, which, in turn, enhances fuel efficiency. When your suspension and alignment are well-maintained, your car not only rides smoothly but also consumes less fuel, saving you money and reducing your environmental footprint.

Safety

Maintaining proper suspension and alignment settings is crucial for your safety and that of other road users. Misalignment can lead to unpredictable steering behavior, increased stopping distances, and compromised stability in emergency situations. Regular suspension and alignment adjustments help ensure that your vehicle performs as intended, reducing the risk of accidents.

Last night I noticed my engine light come and had no idea what was wrong. I remembered a business card I received in the mail describing "The Shop" for automotive repair. I took my vehicle in and discovered a great place to take my cars for repair. It's nice to find a repair shop you can trust for outstanding service. Today they won a new customer.

I had my Honda civic serviced there and was taken care of so quickly! Tires were going bad and they replaced all four, did an alignment and replaced a wheel bearing that was much needed. My car drives so smoothly now and is much quieter. Also their prices are honest. I would visit here again and refer anyone to The Shop for their car needs! Thank you

There is not enough room on this review to truly say how amazing The Shop is! We’ve taken our cars there for various reasons, several times, but I’ll just speak of this last time. They got us in right away fixed what was needed immediately as they knew that was my daughters only transportation. They helped her with the cost, and her car is working perfectly. (They even text to follow up the next day to make sure)! Steven and crew truly go beyond and above, and definitely far pass expectations.

Had a vehicle brought to The Shop for a pre-purchase inspection. Steven was fantastic in working with me on scheduling and the inspection was exactly what I needed. He went through what he found and gave me the information I needed to make a decision. Used vehicles are never perfect, but having a mechanic you can trust help you understand both the current condition as well as what you can expect in terms of repairs down the road is super valuable. I will continue to bring my business here. Highly recommend.

The only place I would take my GMC diesel truck. They have always been fair priced and quick to get to me. My truck is used for work and is $80+ k to replace and they have always done me right.

I have taken my 2019 Chevy Colorado to The Shop Auto Specialist in Jtown several times over the last year for a number of scheduled maintenance items like oil changes, serpentine belt installation, coolant system maintenance, and spark plug changes. They have done quality work each time and completed all job on schedule. The Shop takes pride in their results. The Shop is customer oriented and honest when working through any concerns or issues involving maintenance and repairs. When I first took my truck to the shop, I was looking for mechanics I could trust, and it looks like I found them.

I cannot say enough about how fantastic The Shop is! They are not only a great auto shop, but one with integrity. Steven and Jacob were so amazing. I went in to have my wheel barring replaced. I told them about my experience at Meineke and that they just did the brakes... Jacob found that the brake job I just had done by Meineke (Don't ever go there for anything!) reused old hardware and was missing pieces, and that a tire was missing a lug nut because they stripped the bolt! Jacob was so nice and fixed all of Meineke's mistakes for free, made sure to show me what the bad parts looked like compared to the new ones, AND without me asking, took pics of the awful job Meineke did (along with notes) so that I could make formal complaints to the company. To top it off, they gave me an amazing deal on the wheel barring replacement! They 100% have my business from here on out. Thank you for making sure my car was taken care of and safe to drive 🚗👨‍🔧💙

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Shop after experiencing persistent issues with my vehicle that other shops could not resolve. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that immediately put me at ease. The staff at The Shop especially Jacob were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the diagnostic process they would undertake to identify the problem. Unlike other places where I felt rushed or dismissed, here I felt valued as a customer. After a comprehensive inspection, they quickly diagnosed the issue that had stumped other mechanics. It was clear that their expertise was top-notch. They provided me with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done, along with transparent pricing that was very reasonable considering the quality of service provided. What impressed me most was their efficiency. They completed the repairs in a timely manner without compromising on quality. I left feeling confident in my vehicle’s performance, which is something I hadn’t felt in quite some time. if you’re looking for a mechanic who combines friendliness with exceptional skill, look no further than The Shop. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive repair services. They truly go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction! Thank you all so much!

Great experience at this place and very well ran. Had some problems with my truck was able to get me in the same day and have it ready 2 days later. This was seriously the first time someone has ever walked me through everything I had going on. Even offered to have there specialist come up as well if I wanted. When I went in to pick up my car they had everything laid out on the counter so I could visually see everything they had told me they were going to replace and had the team as well there. Mind blown!!!! I might add that before they did anything he even offered to let me take anywhere else and get an another opinion before doing anything. Hats off to these guys. Can't tell you enough how much I recommend this place.

I bought my car used a year and a half ago, and it has been nothing but trouble. I’ve taken it to multiple places for various repairs. I brought it to The Shop initially for a transmission leak, but they identified and addressed other issues I had been dealing with. They communicated with me throughout the process and got my car running better than it did when I first bought it. I’ll be bringing my car here from now on!

Steven and the mechanics at the shop are as honest as they come. Twice now I've come to them with "problems" that they've talked me out of wasting money on. They use good old fashion diagnostics to insure that they aren't just throwing parts at the problem to waste your time and money.

There's a reason The Shop's parking lot is perpetually packed, and it's not because the towering skeleton out front is a popular fellow: these guys know what they're doing, and they do it well. We have five vehicles, from my grandfather's aging F150 that's nearly as old as I am to a Fusion young enough to go to kindergarten to an ugly-but-running Town and Country, and The Shop's team of mechanics has provided excellent service to all of them. All of our automotive work is done by these guys now, and I recommend that you do the same.

My husband and I have had a great experience with this shop. Excellent brake job and fair prices. Once my electrical panel lit up with the trac off and check engine light. They found my gas cap wasn't tight enough and it caused a vacuum. I was relieved at the quick, easy fix. I would have had to pay $180 at the dealership to find out something simple like that. I wasn't even charged here at all :)

These are the most honest and hardworking people you’ll ever meet. my sister and I are for Cincinnati and we were in the area to purchase a car from carvana (I KNOW) we got it and went to find the first body shop that would take us. first every other body shop only works on specific cars then the others that we did find in the area had a wait till next week. We called them they said they were about to close but will take us for a inspection. we went there they said this is a “no go car “had a previous accident that we were not aware of problems with the oil and bunch of other things that was never explained to us. They are so nice hardworking and knowledgeable they told us to take this care back and get a new one or DONT BUY FROM CARVANA EVER. The people there are the best . “Always go somewhere you can trust” these are those people thank you so much for all your help

FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE AND QUALITY WORK! Having a knowledgeable mechanic you can trust is a rare find in any community. But my experience with "The Shop" in J-Town and with the owner, Steven, has been outstanding! I had two unrelated issues with my Ford Escape. In the most gracious and sincere way Steve kept me fully informed at all times, worked hard to find ways to reduce the cost and completed the work to the highest standards. Steven treated me like a long time friend and customer even though it was my first visit. "The Shop" will be my "go to" for all future services for both of my cars. THANK YOU Steven!
