Understanding Your Car’s Suspension: 
At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe that understanding your vehicle’s essential parts shouldn’t require a mechanic’s certification. That’s why we’re breaking down your car’s suspension system in a way that’s easy to grasp, even for an 8-year-old!

What is a Suspension System?
Your car’s suspension is like a team of superheroes working together to make sure your ride is as smooth as possible, even when the road gets rough. Let’s meet the team:

Springs: The Bouncers
Springs are like the bouncers at a trampoline park. Their job is to absorb the impact of bumps and dips in the road, so you don’t feel every single jolt as you drive. They make sure that when your car hits a bump, it can bounce a little without making the ride uncomfortable.

August is here, which means that it’s time to prepare for the upcoming school year. At DeBoer’s Auto, we understand the excitement and challenges of back-to-school season, especially for parents of teenage drivers. Ensuring your new driver is ready for the road is crucial for their safety and your peace of mind. Here are some tips to help make the transition smoother and safer for everyone.

Proven Process Step Five: 
At DeBoer's Auto, our commitment to excellence extends beyond the initial repairs and services we provide. Our proven process comprises five meticulous stages, with the final stage focusing on closing out the work order and ensuring our customers are completely satisfied with their experience. Here’s a detailed look at the fifth and final step in our process.

Closing Out Repair Orders and Releasing the Vehicle
The culmination of our service begins with the closing out of repair orders. Our dedicated service advisors review all the work completed on your vehicle with you. This step is crucial as it ensures transparency and provides the opportunity to understand the repairs and maintenance performed. Our advisors are equipped to explain the intricacies of the work, or address other concerns.

Follow-Up Work and Pre-Booking Appointments
Depending on the nature of the service, some vehicles may require a follow-up inspection to ensure everything is functioning optimally. For instance, if your vehicle had an oil leak or AC repair, our technicians may need to double-check the system to confirm the issue has been completely resolved.

Our service advisors will also discuss any recommended follow-up work and help you pre-book your next appointment. This proactive approach ensures that your vehicle remains in peak condition and helps you stay ahead of any potential issues.

At DeBoer's Auto, our proven process ensures that you have a clear understanding of your vehicle's needs and the options available to you. The third step in our process is the information stage, where our ASE certified service advisors reach out to you to discuss the details of your vehicle. This step is designed to provide you with all the necessary information about your vehicle's condition in a transparent and informative manner.

As the world of travel continually evolves, staying informed about new regulations is crucial for a seamless experience. One of the most significant changes on the horizon is the implementation of the Real ID Act in the United States. By May 7, 2025, travelers will need a Real ID-compliant identification to fly domestically or enter certain federal facilities. This change aims to enhance security and streamline travel processes. DeBoer's Auto is committed to helping you live life uninterrupted, and that means ensuring you're well-prepared for these new travel requirements.
