The average driver doesn’t know a lot about their steering or suspension system, but that doesn’t make it any less important to maintain. Not keeping your shocks and struts operating properly might not hinder your day-to-day driving or create a noticeably different driving experience, but it could negatively impact you in an emergency situation. Part three of our three-part series on the safety triangle discusses what you need to know about maintaining your steering and suspension system.

It’s always important to ensure your brake system is operating at maximum capacity. If they aren’t working at maximum capacity, they could still work effectively enough for a little while, but they will eventually fail quicker as well.

Part two of our three-part series on the safety triangle explains everything you need to know about maintaining your brake system.

DeBoer’s Auto is thrilled to announce the date for our back-to-school car care clinic as Saturday, September 25th, 2021.

We’ve discussed a little bit about how that benefits you and what our new licensed inspectors had to go through to become licensed.
