Your vehicle’s steering and suspension ensure a smooth, safe ride. At Stop N Go Automotive Services in Burlington, ON, we understand the importance of a well-maintained steering and suspension system.
We will explore the signs of steering or suspension problems, the frequency of inspections and servicing, the services we provide, and the factors contributing to the premature wear of these components.
Detecting steering or suspension issues in your vehicle is essential for both your safety and the longevity of your car. Here are some common signs to watch out for:
If your tires wear unevenly, it could indicate steering or suspension problems. Misaligned wheels or worn-out components can cause uneven tire wear, reducing tire lifespan and decreasing handling performance.
If you notice your steering wheel vibrating or your vehicle shaking while driving, it may be due to worn-out shocks or struts. This can lead to a bumpy and uncomfortable ride, making it necessary to address the issue promptly.
A sudden increase in the effort required to turn the steering wheel, or if it feels loose or unresponsive, could indicate problems with your power steering system or tie rods. This can affect your ability to control your vehicle, posing a safety risk.
Unusual noises, such as clunking or knocking when you hit a bump or navigate rough terrain, may indicate damaged steering and suspension components. Ignoring these noises can lead to more significant issues over time.
If your vehicle tends to drift or pull to one side while driving, it may indicate alignment problems or issues with your front suspension. This affects handling and poses a safety hazard, as it can lead to accidents if left unaddressed.
Regular inspections and servicing of your steering and suspension components are vital to ensure your vehicle’s safety and performance. We recommend the following guidelines:
Every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometres: It’s advisable to have your steering and suspension systems inspected by our skilled technicians at least once a year or every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometres. However, more frequent inspections may be necessary if you frequently drive on rough roads or hit potholes.
Shocks and Struts Replacement: Shocks and struts typically have a lifespan of 80,000 to 160,000 kilometres. However, if you notice signs of wear and tear or experience a decline in ride quality, our team can assess and replace them as needed.
Stop N Go Automotive Services offers a comprehensive range of services for your steering and suspension needs in Burlington, ON. Our skilled technicians are equipped to handle various issues, including:
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for maintaining even tire wear and precise handling. We use state-of-the-art equipment to align your wheels accurately, ensuring a smooth and stable ride.
If your front suspension components are worn or damaged, we can diagnose and repair the issue, restoring your vehicle’s handling and stability.
Our experts can replace worn-out shocks or struts to improve ride quality, reduce vibrations, and enhance overall safety and comfort.
If you’re experiencing difficulty steering or notice issues with your power steering system, we can diagnose the problem and provide the necessary repairs or maintenance.
Several factors can contribute to premature wear and tear of your steering and suspension components:
Frequent exposure to potholes, rough roads, and debris can accelerate wear on your steering and suspension systems. Driving cautiously and having your vehicle inspected regularly is essential if you frequently encounter these conditions.
Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to premature wear of components. Regular inspections and timely servicing can identify issues before they become major problems.
Carrying heavy loads or towing without proper equipment can strain your suspension components, causing premature wear. Be mindful of your vehicle’s weight limits and avoid exceeding them.
Exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as extreme heat or salt from winter road treatments, can accelerate corrosion and wear on steering and suspension components. Rust and corrosion can weaken these parts, leading to reduced performance.
Your vehicle’s steering and suspension systems are essential for a safe and comfortable driving experience. Detecting signs of problems, scheduling regular inspections and servicing, and addressing issues promptly are crucial steps in ensuring your vehicle’s longevity and safety on the road.
At Stop N Go Automotive Services in Burlington, ON, our experienced technicians provide the expertise and services you need to keep your steering and suspension in top-notch condition.

I was out of town needed some brake work on my vehicle. They got me in right away and took good care of me some of the best service I’ve ever had. Thanks to all the guys.

Stop N Go was recommended to me by a friend who lives close by and takes their vehicles there for service. Because they are a couple of hours from where I live, the recommendation wasn't the only incentive I needed before choosing to have my car serviced here. There was also the very high Google rating and the added benefit of having a loaner car when mine was in for service.
They replaced all 4 pads and rotors and did an alignment. They explained everything they were going to do and gave me some good recommendations on the type of parts. My discussions with Matt gave me confidence that they knew what parts were best for my specific vehicle.
With the new brakes, the car feels better than it did when new!
I highly recommend and will use them again.

Excellent! Between photos and videos of parts that may need to be repaired to a comprehensive list of actionable items and what was actually done, to recommending a conservative approach to repairs that could have cost me a lot of money, it is the best customer service I've experienced at an automotive shop. I will recommend you to anyone looking for a reputable repair garage! Also, really appreciate they cleaned the car and the interior. Great experience! Thank you...

We used Stop'n'Go for safety inspections on both of our cars prior to selling them. Throughout both processes, Todd and the team were really thorough, attentive and explained everything we needed to know each step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a genuine, reputable mechanic, thanks Todd & team!!
Honest guys, saved me some money and head ache on my truck and then squeezed my partners car in for a last minute oil change. 5 stars from me.
Thanks guys for another great service appointment. We really appreciate how thorough and accommodating your shop is!

I had a really great experience at Stop and Go in Burlington. From the very first phone call, everyone was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly.
When I called for a quote, they walked me through exactly how the diagnostic process works and what they would be checking on the car. After the diagnostic was completed, they called me back and thoroughly explained the issue over the phone in a way that was easy to understand. They even had availability the same day to fix my air conditioning, which I really appreciated.
The whole team was very kind and never made me feel rushed or pressured. The pricing was fair, and overall the experience felt very honest and transparent.
I also noticed that my car seemed cleaner when I got it back — the seats and floors looked tidied up, which was such a thoughtful extra touch that they absolutely didn’t have to do.
Overall, I’m really happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them to others looking for a trustworthy mechanic in Burlington.

I took my Audi TT in for a safety for a pending sale. Todd and his team were very professional and informative. He told me the areas that needed attention and also took me into the shop to actually show me the problems. I was very happy with the service and work performed. Todd also showed me other work that the car may need down the road. I certainly would use their services again.
Appreciate the great service. Picked up my car today. Runs beautifully and loved the clean car as well.
Service and communication was top notch. Friendly service and patient with my questions. I would definitely recommend Stop N Go.

I would highly recommend Stop N Go for all servicing needs. Through diagnostics they have addressed all issues that needed attention on my aging vehicle. The work is efficient, professional and provided me with a loaner so my day is not interrupted. Thank-you all.

I recently took my vehicle here for the first time and was incredibly impressed by the service. The transparency they provide is exceptional; I received a detailed email report that included photos of every issue found, along with clear explanations of why each repair was necessary.
Todd was great to work with. He explained everything thoroughly and even provided a prioritized list of future maintenance items so I could plan ahead.
The convenience was also a major plus. I didn't realize they offered it, but they actually sent someone to my house to pick me up so I could collect my car. It is rare to find a shop that combines this level of technical detail with such helpful customer service. Highly recommended!

Was calling around for pricing and these guys offered the best. Todd got back to me right away, straight to the point, told me exactly what they could do for me, no up-selling, no this that and the other - professional, courteous and honest. Booked me in that night and even thought I didn't get the car to them until late afternoon they started right away and had repairs done mid-morning the next day. Asked about their services and they pretty much do everything mechanical so will be taking my vehicle to Stop N Go from now on. Oh and the interior and exterior clean was the cherry on top! Thanks Todd and Matt for a great first visit!
it is the place to go to get it fixed right.
will go back anytime

I had a great experience with Stop N Go Automotive. They did an excellent job working on my vehicle, replacing the control arm, ball joint, wheel bearing, and all four brake pads and rotors.
What really stood out to me was their communication—they kept me informed throughout the entire process, so I always knew what was going on with my car. That level of transparency gave me a lot of confidence in their work.
On top of that, they went above and beyond by providing me with a free loaner car while my vehicle was being repaired, which made things so much more convenient. They even vacuumed and washed my car before returning it, which was a really nice touch and showed they care about their customers.
Overall, professional service, quality work, and great customer care. I would definitely recommend Stop N Go Automotive to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic.

I had a great experience with Stop N Go recently. I appreciated the full and thorough vehicle inspection and there were photos and notes included in the report so I knew it was thorough. They also gave genuine advice on what should be repaired/replaced immediately and what could be deferred to another time. Great service and good people!
Great customer service with no unnecessary upselling.

Amazing service. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The shuttle was prompt and drop off and pick was seamless. They detailed my car prior to pick up which was such a nice surprise. Highly recommend this business.
Was very pleased with the detail, explanation of concerns, plan to fix the van, and finally with the result. Thank you Todd and team.

Great experience with Stop N Go this week. We broke down on the road, had it towed to the shop, and they were happy to accommodate last minute.
Todd, Matt and the team were very kind, thorough, and clear with the work that needed to be done. They outlined everything in a simple to understand document which helped me make my decisions easily. They had me back on the road in a very timely manner, and I left feeling like I was taken care of.
Needless to say, I will be coming back in the future. Hopefully not too soon in the future though. lol.
A big shoutout to Team Stop N Go, Burlington!
