The Value of Regular Suspension Service

The suspension on your vehicle actually refers to a few different parts. This can include your tires, the amount of air in your tires (tire pressure), your shocks, springs and other parts that link these items together. If one or more of these parts is out of sync or is damaged, then you can see some pretty bad damage to your vehicle in a short amount of time. For example, low air in your tires can damage your tires, damage your brakes and have a negative impact on your shocks and springs.

Having Good Tire Tread Key to Safe Ride

Driving with poor tire tread is one of the most hazardous things that you can do on the streets of Coatesville, PA this winter. Your tread is what gives you traction on the road, and without it you will find that your car, truck, or SUV performs much worse on the road. This effect is amplified under wet road conditions.

On a rainy day, a bald tire cannot displace the water correctly. This will lead to the feeling that your car is slipping or hydroplaning as you drive. It is a nerve wracking experience, to say the least.
