Expert Suspension Repair At Rick’s Tire & Auto Service

December 16, 2024 jam

Is your car showing signs of suspension problems? From rough rides to uneven tire wear, suspension issues can impact your vehicle’s performance, comfort, and safety. At Rick’s Tire & Auto Service, we specialize in complete suspension repair services at both of our convenient Irving, TX, locations. Our ASE-certified technicians have the experience and skills to diagnose and fix any suspension-related issue, getting you back on the road with confidence.

Understanding Your Suspension System

Your vehicle’s suspension system does more than just absorb bumps on the road; it keeps your wheels firmly planted for smooth handling and safety. The system is made up of multiple suspension components, including shocks and struts, sway bars, control arms, ball joints, and tie rods. Each part works together to stabilize the vehicle and make sure your tires stay in proper contact with the road surface.

When one of these components fails, you may notice symptoms like pulling to one side, a bouncy ride, or even uneven tire wear. Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger problems, which is why a suspension repair service is essential to maintain your vehicle’s performance and safety.

Signs Of Suspension Problems

Suspension issues are often easy to detect if you know what to look for. Here are some common signs that indicate your vehicle may need a suspension repair:

Uneven Tire Wear: If you notice your tire treads are wearing out unevenly, it may be due to poor alignment or suspension issues.
Pulling to One Side: When your car pulls to one side, it can signal alignment issues, often caused by suspension wear.
Bouncy or Rough Ride: Shock absorbers and struts are designed to absorb road bumps. If you feel every bump or your car bounces after hitting one, it’s time for an inspection.
Steering Wheel Feels Loose: If your steering wheel feels loose or has excessive play, it could mean issues with tie rods or ball joints.
Noise When Going Over Bumps: Clunking noises over bumps can point to worn-out control arms, ball joints, or sway bars.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, bring your car to Rick’s Tire & Auto Service for a thorough inspection. Our ASE-certified technicians will identify the problem and provide the necessary repairs.

Suspension Repair Services We Offer

Rick’s Tire & Auto Service provides comprehensive suspension repair services tailored to your vehicle’s needs. From wheel alignment to replacing shocks and struts, our skilled team can handle it all.

Shock Absorber and Strut Replacement: Shocks and struts are crucial to your vehicle’s ability to handle bumps and dips on the road. If these components wear out, your vehicle may become difficult to control, especially on rough surfaces.
Sway Bar and Control Arm Repairs: Sway bars and control arms help maintain stability during turns. Worn sway bars or control arms can make handling difficult and increase the risk of rollovers. Our repair shop offers expert replacements to keep you safe on the road.
Ball Joints and Tie Rod Repairs: Ball joints and tie rods connect your suspension system to the wheels, enabling smooth steering and stability. These parts can wear out over time, causing play in the steering wheel and uneven tire wear.
Wheel Alignment: Misalignment in the suspension can lead to pulling, uneven tire wear, and reduced fuel efficiency. We offer precise wheel alignment services to ensure optimal performance and longevity for your tires.

I took my car for service. Dante was very helpful in explaining the process. He also kept me updated and out the door as soon as possible.
Junior bonilla Nov 14, 2025

Went in to get my brake job done. Dante helped me get squared away. Went above and beyond! Great customer service. Would recommend!
J Palucho Nov 13, 2025

I went in for a brake change and oil change, and the service was fast and affordable. Dante and his team worked efficiently and had my car ready in no time. I really appreciate their honesty and great prices-definitely recommend this shop!
Rocio Beltran Nov 13, 2025

I was having some issues with my AC and control alarms, and since nowadays it’s so difficult to find trustworthy people in the auto repair business, I asked several friends from the community for references. Rick’s came highly recommended and in particular they recommended asking for Dante. Indeed, Dante went out of his way to listen and understand the issues with my car, and then helped me understand the options I had. They were able to get the issues fixed just like it was explained to me, and my car is working great, no issues whatsoever. Best decision to go to Rick’s and ask for Dante, he is very knowledgeable, professional and honest. Outstanding customer service! Highly recommended! True Blessing!
Danea Perez Nov 13, 2025

I went to Ricks Tire & Auto Shop not knowing much about them but when I arrived I was helped by Mr. Dante. Being a female and going to an auto shop is always scary in my opinion as I want to make sure they understand what I’m trying to explain. Dante was very helpful and very informative. I felt acknowledged and at ease with my questions. I will be back with my sons truck that needs some work done and feel confident that Dante will take care of my sons truck.
Blanca Salazar Nov 12, 2025

I have used Rick's for years. They are always easy to work with and have been very helpful even in some complex issues. The pricing seems reasonable compared to a dealer.
Randy Byers Oct 22, 2025

My tire was going flat, and Rick's was the closest shop. I had to wait for some time because they were busy, but they fixed the tire. They didn't charge me because of the wait. These guys are awesome 👍

Frances Rodriguez Oct 14, 2025

I wanted to do a follow up review. My experience was really good! If you're a lady like me then you know when dealing with a mechanic shop sometimes it's best we have our own knowledge or a guy with us who has the knowledge. And Randy helped me and made me feel comfortable with my car decisions and he was awesome. He fixed my wheel axle a couple weeks ago, it took him about 2 hours or so and I haven't had any issues with it since. He even gave me some info about my brakes. I told him another company made it seem like I needed brakes immediately he assured me that wasn't true and I had a lot of time before needing brakes & I feel content with that and trust his opinion on my vehicle. His personality was fun as well. Very professional guy. I enjoyed my experience here at Rick's auto!
Traionne Bates Sep 24, 2025

Very reliable, they were able to do the repairs needed on my car in one day. They did a great job!
Carmen Garay Sep 11, 2025

I had an engine issue and brought my car into this shop, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. Dante, Frank, and Devin really went above and beyond—they took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable with the process. It’s rare to find a shop that combines skill, honesty, and great customer service, but this team does exactly that. Highly recommend them to anyone needing auto work done
Vince Banda Sep 6, 2025

I was waited on swiftly. The staff was kind, friendly and intuitive. They took care of my issue with expedience. The cost was very reasonable and I felt comfortable being there
Renee Carmichael Aug 31, 2025

Randy was incredible!! Great service. Great personality. Another shop told me I needed brakes BADLY and had me so worried but Randy educated me and showed me that that info was not true. Honest mechanic! He fixed the axle on my Volvo and did it in under 3 hours. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE! he is part of the reason I have found a new auto mechanic home

This is for Jonathan frost, just to let you know Richie and Corey are good old boys, I really don't appreciate what you said about the rest of us , I'm not even going to say us , ME RANDY Mcclary is worth a hell of alot more than that 1/10 BS Your putting out there. But I do agree that was a hell of a estimate, sounds like your car wasn't worth 1/10. Just saying
Randy Mcclary Aug 25, 2025

Devon has been phenomenal. They’ve been proactive with their communication keeping me updated on the status of my vehicle. Dante/Donte however was very rude. They really need to work on who they allow to communicate with customers. Devon was great. Dante was not.
James Sturtevant Aug 15, 2025

Fast friendly service! Low prices!
Les May Aug 14, 2025

Really came through for us when we were running into several problems with my almost 10 year old Kia! Earned our business for life!!! Highly recommend!
Renique Hill Jul 29, 2025

Just went in for a nail in the tire. Got it fixed in record time and no charge. I only had $10 which I gladly gave!
Terry Longley Bigham Jul 21, 2025

My daughter Passíon recently moved to Dallas and unfortunately almost had a terrible accident due to a horrible knocking noise coming from suspension that prohibited her from accelerating over 25mph. Shortly after arriving, they were able to find that 3 out of 4 lug bolts were missing in her right passenger tire which could’ve resulted in her entire tire coming off while driving! DeVin and Dante were extremely helpful with a speedy diagnoses and was even able to assist with a ride home until the repairs were complete. So glad she was able to receive the help she needed and even triple check her suspension to make sure nothing further was damaged! They truly do go above and beyond and was able to get her in and out, and back on the road within a few hours!
Malana Hope Jun 30, 2025

Daniel Guardiola Jun 23, 2025

This is my auto service and repair go to shop. I bought a service contract with our Nissan, so for now I just bought new tires and a few minor service items from them but the contract runs out in July then I will be here again.

Jose Mireles May 13, 2025

I recently hit a curb rent a tire which required my tires be aligned. I was really concerned that I was going to have a very expensive bill. However Rick's work with me two new tires all Wheels aligned and repaired my brakes, for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend their service. I have been with them for over 10 years.
Dorothy Miller May 8, 2025

Eileen Dec 17, 2019

I took my car for an alignment and for a diagnos for a clunking noise coming from the front. The technician (Steve) did a thorough inspection and figured out what the problem was. They repaired without any hassle. Now my clunking noise is gone and drives good as new with the new alignment they did. Great people to deal with they even shuttle me back and forth keep up the good work. I'll be going back for sure

Ricks has been my go to shop for everything since I’ve lived in the area. I originally went there bc they gave me the lowest quote on new brake pads and rotors. Just recently got my tires there and they quoted me 75$ less than discount tire did. Friendly staff, professional work. 10/10 recommend.
Trevor Apr 18, 2025

I started taking my cars to Ricks 20 years ago. Always get great service. I know enough about cars and many years ago worked for service centers so I know the con game. Ricks has never tried to up sell me any service not needed. Thanks Y'all.
Stanley Parker Mar 26, 2025
