The suspension is one of the major systems in any vehicle – it is part of the chassis, which comprises all the important systems located beneath the car’s body.
Suspension & Steering
These systems include:
- The frame– structural, load-carrying component that supports the car’s engine and body, which are in turn supported by the suspension
- The suspension system– setup that supports weight, absorbs and dampens shock and helps maintain tire contact
- The steering system – mechanism that enables the driver to guide and direct the vehicle
- The tires and wheels – components that make vehicle motion possible by way of grip and/or friction with the road
Should you care?
Our car’s suspension is generally out of sight and out of mind, but it plays a crucial role. The suspension does everything from ensuring the wheels to stay connected with the road, for better grip and braking, to stopping the car from shaking to pieces over rough surfaces. As well as smoothing a bumpy ride, it also helps steering by absorbing lateral forces that makes the car want to roll.
Both Suspension and steering systems are a main factor of your safety on the road. Old or leaking shocks can affect your handling and safety.
At Vaucluse Auto Repairs, we use the latest in suspension diagnostic.
Our Safe-T-Stop diagnostic machine measures ride quality by testing the rebound of each shock absorber, from firm to soft and issues an accurate report. Our technicians will repair or replace any components needed, so you know that your shock absorbers are working correctly for optimum suspension performance.

Michael and the team at Vaucluse Auto Repairs repaired my VW R32 recently. All details were attended to, and I received a very favourable price for the comprehensive work done. Even though the shop was busy, my car received prompt attention. When I took it out for a drive today, the engine roared and it felt like a brand new car. Actually, it's now performing better than it was when I bought it new in 2009. Thank you Michael!read more

My BMW had some problems and the dealership wanted over $5000 for the work. Michael organized for my car to be towed and charged half the price. Couldn’t do enough for me. Would recommend to anyoneread more

The team go above and beyond. As someone who doesn’t know cars, always asks my dad if I am being ripped off by mechanics. I was rest assured here and was in the best hands. My car legitimately drives and looks like it is brand new. Thank you for the added new BMW key ring and allowing me to pick up my car so late we’ll deserved 5* for customer service and workmanship.read more

I was always concerned about going to ‘the local mechanic‘ because I never thought I would receive the same service and value that you would from the large companies. I have to say how wrong I was. Sam is an extremely pleasant man and the last few times I have been here, they have delivered. I could not be more happy with the service, quality of service and products used, standard of service and value and even though I have moved areas, I will be coming back here because I know that I can trust this place to provide a superior delivery of service. Big thumbs up 👍read more

Michael is honestly the most professional trustworthy mechanic I have every encountered in my experience. After many years of being ripped off by mechanics who would take advantage of my lack of knowledge and charge me through the roof for repairs that I probably didn’t even need I’ve finally found an angel. The BEST MECHANIC in Australia maybe the world ... highly recommend him ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more

Michael and the team at Vaucluse Auto Repairs are amazing! I have twice taken them my Mercedes 4WD with a nail in the tire and both times they have fixed them either while I waited or within the hour. And guess what....they didn't charge me. Nothing, zero, zip! I wouldn't hesitate to take my car to them for any issue or problem as they are knowledgeable (especially when it comes to luxury cars), honest, reliable and fast. I would give them 6 stars if I could.read more

I was very happy with the service I received for my regular service. My car was overdue and Michael went out of his way to squeeze me in before the weekend when we would be driving a long distance. Lovely man and nothing was too much trouble! Will definitely be back!read more

This is the second time I have had my car serviced by Michael and his team and once again I am very pleased with the service. Not only did I feel I can trust what Michael advises, he is considerably cheaper and more professional that the dealership service centres. Yes BMW Sydney, I'm talking about you.

The mechanic Sam, that worked on my car is a thorough professional, obliging. Sam bent over backwards to get my car in and completed before Christmas. They are a 5 star bunch of people and I would highly recommend this company to anyone! Merry Christmas to you all.read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! I had put my car on the market and someone sold it quicker than I had imagined (lucky!) but I needed to service it before handover. I called Michael and he moved heaven and earth to get it done for me so that the sale could go ahead. Wonderful job too. Thank you for everything!!read more

Honestly these guys take really good care of their customers and I am one of them. Sometimes I service my SUV for specialist repairs with the car makers own team but for everything else I trust Michael implicitly and all I need do is drop off my keys and try to hustle him for a free nespresso .... 😀😀😀🎩🎩Update....Recently my car was hit twice in a snow storm. They have done the most excellent job to make the car new again.read more
