Steering & Suspension Repair

Driving and stopping are important functions of any car, but you can’t get where you want to go without a safe and secure steering system. And suspension has come a long way recently, providing cloud-like comfort compared to cars of the past. If you have worn steering components, blown shocks, sagging springs or a bent strut, it can feel like navigating a cobblestone street in the 1890s all over again.

Inner-city and off-road driving can be particularly brutal on suspension systems. The potholes in city streets cause havoc on the ride and control systems of your car, sometimes all at once, but more typically so gradually that you hardly notice in a single moment.

Shocks and Struts

If your car has developed a floaty or bouncy ride it may be time for new dampers. MacPherson struts not only absorb bumps and maintain traction, they also hold the wheel in the proper position for accurate steering. Shock absorbers have an easier job, but they still take a beating and -despite what some car makers say- will not last the life of the car. Let us inspect your dampers, road test your car and give you an expert opinion.

Suspension & Linkage

When you turn the steering wheel, there is a system of linkage that moves the wheels. If you have worn tie rods, sway bars, or bad ball joints, you car’s wheels may seem to have a mind of their own. This extra play in the steering can make driving a stressful experience, and it causes wear on your car and tires, too. Our team can pinpoint the worn parts, replace them, and realign everything to factory specifications to get you driving on the straight and narrow again.

Power Steering

Power steering is one of the modern features so common you wonder how anyone drove without it. If your car fights you in the morning when it is cold, or seems harder to steer after a spirited drive, your power steering system may need service. It could be that there is a leak and the system is low on fluid, or it could be an internal issue with the power steering pump or rack. A car with no power steering isn’t the end of the world, but it makes driving feel like work, and it can make it hard to react quickly in an emergency.

Our SUV broke down on our way to Galveston. Thankful that we found this mechanic shop, Unfortunately we had an engine cease and nothing they could do. As soon as we arrived Chris and Josh made me and my family feel welcomed and were compassionate about our situation. Thanks to their recommendations we were able to get the dealership to repair under the extended warranty. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a reasonable and honest mechanic shops.

I appreciate the complimentary inspection of my vehicle! I went in and they gave me a punch list of everything that is wrong with my car. I was very impressed!

I’m just looking to pay for the labor to fix problems with my car with parts that I provide. They do not use customer provided parts. I’m not looking for another warranty on parts that already have a warranty. They do make exceptions sometimes. Regardless, I’m glad I took my car in!

As a woman, it is hard to find car shops that will be transparent and actually educate you on things. Velocity auto care does just this. They even took the time to go back and forth with my annoying warranty company and got me the repairs I deserved. I recommend them over any dealership or shop in the area. Im 24 yrs old and feel confident going here to ask questions by myself. They have even postponed unnecessary repairs that dealerships insist I need, saving me tons of money.

Had a great experience, my car needed diagnostics since I was unsure what services it needed. They were really good about communication, letting me know cost estimates up front and following up with me frequently about when my car would be ready to take home. No one pushed me to get any services I wasn’t ready to get at the time and helped me sort out what I could wait to address. Larry did a lot to make me feel welcome!

Have taken vehicles in for simple oil changes. This time I took my 2001 Ford Ranger XLT in for a howling scream from rear end. Rear diff bearings shot. It was more cost effective to replace rear diff with a refurbished diff...to include axle/brakes with age of truck, now at 25 years. Worked with Chris at front desk. Long story short, rear end was replaced as mentioned. Truck has been running smooth since repair, no noise and continues to shift normally with auto transmission. Repairs of this nature cost $$$, so it was no surprise, as it shouldn't be to anyone else. Velocity gave 90 days on labor and 1 year on parts. I wish I had the skill set to make my own repairs, but I will be selling truck now, as original owner, to someone who hopefully does. Truck is at a lowly 181K for it's age. Many thanks to the crew at Velocity to keep my old, well maintained, truck on the road. Well done Velocity!

The guys here are honest and reliable. Larry was kind enough to get me in for a same-day appointment since I was coming from Galveston and had limited time after work. I came in for a second opinion after being quoted over $2,000 elsewhere for something that apparently wasn’t even broken.

The team at Velocity did a thorough inspection and confirmed that my struts were actually just fine. I truly appreciate their integrity and transparency. It’s rare to find a shop that genuinely looks out for you instead of upselling unnecessary repairs. I’m very grateful for their honesty and would absolutely recommend them! I will be bringing my car here for any future repairs.
