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.

Ensuring Complete Customer Satisfaction

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.
