Is your check engine light on? There are many potential reasons why, ranging from a loose or damaged gas cap to a faulty oxygen sensor to a failing catalytic converter or bad spark plugs.

Worn suspension components, such as shocks and struts, will reduce the stability of your vehicle and your ability to control your vehicle, especially on uneven surfaces like bumps and potholes.

If you’re experiencing unusual movements over bumps or through turns, have your suspension system checked out ASAP.
