To ensure that your car is safe and can be driven safely on the roads, Combined Automotive Services in Milton offers an inspection which assesses the 'stopping, steering and stability' components of your vehicle. We can provide you with a detailed report.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for the correct operation of of your vehicle, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

Your car's suspension and shock absorbers are designed to maximise your tyres' friction and contact with the road to allow for efficient, safe and comfortable driving. When your suspension or shock absorbers are worn or broken, it doesn't just mean a bumpy ride, but a potentially serious safety hazard as well.

At Combined Automotive Services we are experts at suspension and shock absorber repairs and maintenance. Bring your car in today for a high quality service at a competitive price, and don't forget we offer a free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report with every service and The Repco Nationwide Warranty. We are located in Milton and serve customers in the surrounding areas as well.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

 Important parts of your suspension & shock absorber system include;

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.
