Suspension and steering systems are two different systems that work together to keep your automobile in control. The suspension system maintains your vehicle’s weight, gives a smooth ride, and ensures that you have steady road control, drivability, and handling.
Your car’s directional control is provided by the steering system. In a sense, your steering system directs the suspension system’s orientation, and the automobile just follows along as it rides on top of it.
Suspension and steering systems are subjected to wear and tear under normal driving circumstances. Struts, shocks, control arm bushings, ball joints, coil springs, and steering linkage are just some of the steering and suspension components that wear out and deteriorate with time. Instability in road handling, excessive tire wear, and a loss of ride comfort, steering control, and drivability result from this wear.
Having your steering and suspension systems inspected by an Automotion Service and Repair certified technician will detect issues before they turn into a severe problem that leaves you stranded on the side of the road.
As you reach important milestones, your steering and suspension system should be inspected on a regular basis. Your steering and suspension systems, like all other components on your automobile, require routine maintenance.
Have your steering and suspension systems inspected by a professional by booking an appointment with Automotion Service and Repair if your car exhibits any of the following symptoms:
A comprehensive suspension system examination is required if there is excessive bouncing or swaying over bumps, as well as sporadic loss of control when driving and braking. The steering system should be evaluated and corrected if it is shaky, unstable, off-center, or stiff.
Uneven tire wear can indicate a suspension or steering problem, however it might simply indicate alignment concerns. Have you lately encountered a pothole? Steering and suspension components might be damaged by potholes.
Suspension components that are worn diminish the vehicle’s stability and the driver’s control. Suspension system components unite to form a single functional unit, therefore untreated suspension faults can lead to increased wear on other suspension components, requiring repairs that are more expensive.
Your vehicle’s ability to operate and your safety depend on the steering and suspension system. As a result, it must be in top operating order to ensure the longevity of your vehicle.

The steering and suspension system aids drivers in maintaining complete control of their automobiles. The suspension system transforms the forward energy generated by road bumps into vertical energy that moves up into the vehicle frame. Components of the suspension system, like coil spring and shock absorbers, assist to reduce the impact of this road force. While particular steering and suspension parts may differ, stress exerted under typical driving circumstances will cause all components to degrade with time. Schedule an appointment with Automotion Service and Repair in Gerlach, NV and let us help you keep your steering and suspension system in a perfect condition.
Easy to schedule. Used the night drop—super easy w follow up at scheduled drop time. Very good conversation on need to have vs nice to have (aka we can get it next time). During the Christmas season this gave me great confidence I was still keeping my car dependable until my next service inspection. Great team at Automotion. Been w them 6 years w 4 cars across three makes. I will never go back to a dealership!

I've trusted this shop since I moved to Reno 20 years ago. They were highly recommended then and I can say the same today. The Service Advisors are honest with me on the condition of my vehicle, what needs attention now and what can be addressed at a later time. The mechanics/technicians have massive skills on top-end vehicles, so my SUV was a piece of cake. I trust the work is done right the first time and I have never been disappointed. Why go anywhere else?

I had great service by both Shauna and the other gentleman. I was looking to buy a used car with a lot of mileage and year. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name but he really advocated for me during the discussion with the seller and advised me honestly in a really helpful manner. If you are young or of modest means it’s worth the checkup to avoid major issues, they saved me at least 1.5k and squeezed me in the same day

Biviano Vasquez Nov 11, 2019
Excellent service. Definitely 10/10. The service technician did a fantastic job at servicing and repairing my Bentley. Usually I would have to send my car to the Bentley dealership in San Francisco for repair and servicing. Automation provided much better service and communication than the Bentley dealership. Jason was an extremely effective customer service representative. Highest recommendation.

I took my car in to have the suspension checked because I was staying to hear some squeaking when I drove over bumps and rough road. After they test drove it, they said that the springs and struts tested normally, so they lubricated them and said that all should be good in a couple of days once the lube worked into the system. And they're were right! Their integrity saved me hundreds of dollars when they could have opted to replace parts that were still good. That's how a company builds trust with us customers.

Absolutely lovely establishment, so many great things about this place, between the excellent service, the great bathrooms and the wonderful dogs to greet you and pet, I absolutely recommend coming here for any car needs, especially who have a Mercedes sprinter. The staff is super kind of knowledgeable and are willing to work with you if you have special needs for your vehicle like we have with ours. They will even put your lug nuts on in a certain order if you ask them to. Very detail oriented, very professional absolutely recommend coming here for everything you need!!

They fixed the problems I was having with my electrical, and even fixed a loose connection that would have been a problem that I didn’t even know about! Great service, and a great attitude with the front desk, who were kind enough to work with me while my card was having issues being cleared with Visa till it all worked out in the end!

I have been going to Automotion for years, and my experience with them has been excellent! They have done a great job of tracking down those hard to diagnose gremlins and making professional repairs that respect my hard-earned dollars. They have an outstanding customer service attitude and their communication is clear and accurate. It is so good to have a trusty shop like this in town. Highly recommend!
Kenneth McGwire Aug 8, 2024
I've been coming to Automotion for years and have always appreciated the friendly service and transparency. They give me an estimate and call if they think they're going to go over. Bill and Jason at the front are professional and hilarious. This last time David performed the work on my Nissin and it's running great. And of course, Penelope is a very good floor manager who is welcoming and sweet. I recommend this place for anyone. Bonus! If you buy your tires here, they'll rotate them for free.
