WE PUT OUR CUSTOMERS FIRST

I have been using GT automotive for over 10 years. Recently, we were having brake issues with a Honda Odyssey. We took it to a dealer to fix since recalls and had them look at the brakes as well, out of convenience. They were dishonest about cost and used bait and switch tactics regarding fixing our brakes. I ultimately refused service and took it to GT. They had the car in and out within half a day, were honest about cost, didn’t charge exorbitant shop costs above cost of service, and communicated throughout the whole repair. I have found that type of care to be their standard. I have taken four cars for service and never had an issue with the fix afterwards. I trust their mechanics and service completely. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Ethan and his team at GT are so incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful. They are quick to diagnose and give a repair plan, never pushy about anything, just honest and want your car to be a safe and efficient on the road and for you to have peace of mind. You can absolutely trust to pay an absolutely fair price for truly exceptional services, including a courtesy loaner car so that while your car is being worked on, you’re not left without a vehicle. We have brought in my 2014 Subaru crosstrek multiple times for mostly maintenance and small repairs and have been helped with almost an entire rebuild on my boyfriends 2004 Chevy Astro, and it shows that this team of mechanics have great range when it comes to taking care of literally any vehicle.As a woman, it’s been really great to know that if anything goes wrong with my car, I don’t have to be afraid of taking it in and being dismissed for having questions or not understanding or getting unnecessary repairs. I know this team will always break it down for me and recommend what is best, and I recommend them to all of my family and friends.Thank you!

Ethan helped us fix my AC and back brakes. This is one of the only places I’ve been where they honestly help you. Ethan told me exactly how much life my brakes had and that I could wait, where most shops would just try to make you fix it that day. Really appreciate this and the team. Highly recommend!

GT Automotive went above & beyond to make sure we were able to get our auto part needed via our extended warranty, which took many hours on the phone and shopping for parts. They kept us well updated along the way. They allowed us to keep our car parked in their lot for several weeks during the wait on the approval and for parts to arrive. Thank you Mandi & Ethan. Highly recommend GT Automotive!

Top notch communication and friendliness. Only reason for not giving the extra star, we’ve only had the car back 1-2 days. But I’m sure the work was good.

Common Problems

Your car’s suspension system is responsible for keeping your ride comfortable and handling correctly. It also helps protect other components like the tires and brakes from wear-and-tear.

That’s why it’s important to know what signs to look out for in order to spot any potential problems with the suspension system in your Porsche.

Some of the most common signs of trouble include a rough ride, unusual noises coming from the wheels or struts, excessive bouncing after hitting bumps or potholes, steering wheel vibration when driving on uneven roads, and uneven tire wear.

Process for Performing Diagnostic Service

When you suspect that there may be a problem with your car’s suspension system, it’s important to have a professional mechanic perform an inspection and diagnostic service in order to determine what is causing the issue and what needs to be done in order to fix it.

During this process, they will inspect all of the components of the suspension system including shocks, struts, springs, control arms, bushings, linkages, wheel bearings and tires.

They may also use specialized tools like electronic force gauges or oscilloscopes to measure vibrations and movement within each component of the system in order to pinpoint any areas where there may be issues.

Common Repair Solutions

Once any issues have been identified during the diagnostic service process they can then move forward with repairs or replacements as needed. Depending on what was found during the diagnostic service process some common repair solutions include replacing worn shock absorbers or struts; tightening bolts; lubricating moving parts; replacing broken springs or control arms; or realigning tires or wheels if necessary.    

Proper maintenance of your vehicle's suspension is essential for long-term reliability and performance of your Porsche. Knowing how to identify common problems associated with suspension service and repair makes it easier for you to take proactive steps towards avoiding future issues down the road.

Performing regular inspections combined with professional diagnostic services can help ensure that any potential issues are caught early on before they become more costly repairs later on down the road. With this knowledge at hand you can rest assured that your beloved Porsche will remain reliable for years to come!
