There are many honest and friendly car repair businesses in town. Just like ours. There are also many that may appear friendly but may do things that are not in your best interest. With that in mind we thought the best way to protect you is to give you a few tips on what to watch for. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, like oil changes for under $10. We've all seen the rising gas prices at the pumps, so how can some places sell oil so cheap? The answer is that once your vehicle is on the lift, they hit you with a long, expensive list of services they claim you immediately need. Likewise, buy-one-tire-get-one-free deals inevitably come with an array of hidden services you must purchase to qualify, which usually end up costing the same as the savings. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you're told a part on your vehicle is bad, ask to see it and for an explanation of how it is malfunctioning. Ask to see the replacement part as well. This can provide you with a clear picture of how the part is supposed to function. An educated consumer is a businessman's best friend. Beware of any one who refuses to meet your inquiries.

What are ball joints and tie rods? Ball joints and tie rods are sockets that allow movement in your car or trucks front end suspension and steering, similar to the way your shoulders and elbows allow movement in your arms. Your vehicle is equipped with four ball joints, (an upper and lower on the driver's and passenger's side) and four tie rods (an inner an outer on the driver's and passenger's side).

What do my Ball joints and tie rods do? Ball joints are sockets that connect your upper and lower control arms to your wheel hubs. They allow up and down movement in your suspension. Tie rods are sockets that connect your wheel hubs to your steering shaft. When you turn the steering wheel, the steering gear moves the tie rods, which turn your wheels.

How do I know if my ball joints and tie rods are worn out? When ball joints go bad you may notice a single clunk that comes from your front end when going over a bump in the road. When tie rods wear out you may notice a little looseness in the steering wheel. If not caught in time, both of these items can cause irregular tire wear, such as the inner or outer edges wearing out or flat ridges forming across the tread.

We repair your ball joints and tie rods the same way we would repair the ball joints and tie rods in our own car or truck. With quality parts, built to last, and meticulous attention to detail to ensure that when your repair is done, it's been done right, the first time.
