Your Vehicle Safety Experts

Routine suspension and brakes maintenance are critical in ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers. At Tonic’s Automotive, our licensed mechanics will make sure your vehicle is in top condition. 

What is suspension?

Your car’s suspension system is responsible for keeping the car in control through improving steering stability. It’s made up of several components including the wheels, linkages, springs, brakes, clutch and shock absorbers. It’s important that you visit a mechanic immediately if you are experiencing issues with your vehicle such as:

• Loud brakes 
• Swerving even though you’re pressing on the brakes
• Vibration while braking 
• Uneven tread wear on tyres
• Fluid leaks from your shock absorbers
  

A worn out suspension system can significantly increase the dangers of driving, and must be serviced by a licensed mechanic as soon as possible. A single faulty shock absorber can add up to 2 metres of stopping difference for a vehicle travelling at 50km per hour. 

Our team can repair or replace all your suspension parts. We source all our replacement parts from reputable brands such as Dobinson, but we can also order from other brands to suit your budget.
