Services We Perform
When it comes to suspension and driveline health, there are many moving parts working together to keep your vehicle safe, stable, and smooth on the road. Here are some of the services we offer:
Chassis
We inspect and service your chassis to ensure the structural frame of your vehicle remains solid, aligned, and free from excessive wear or corrosion. A strong chassis is critical for safe suspension performance.
Custom Exhaust
If you're looking for better performance or a more aggressive sound, we offer custom exhaust installations. We can also adjust your exhaust layout to improve clearance and routing around your suspension system.
Differential Flush
This service removes old fluid from your differential and replaces it with fresh lubricant. It helps reduce wear on gears and ensures smoother cornering and power delivery.
Differentials
We inspect, repair, and replace front and rear differentials to ensure proper power distribution between wheels-especially important for 4WD or AWD vehicles.
Driveline
Your driveline connects the transmission to the wheels. We handle driveline inspections, repairs, and replacements to resolve vibrations, clunking sounds, and power transfer issues.
Exhaust
In addition to custom setups, we handle repairs to existing exhaust systems-checking for leaks, corrosion, and worn-out parts that can reduce performance or efficiency.
Shock Absorbers
We replace worn or leaking shocks that affect your ride comfort and stability. New shocks help your tires grip the road better and improve overall control.
Struts
Struts are a key part of your suspension system. We offer strut replacements to restore proper ride height, handling, and stopping power.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Suspension Repair
A damaged or worn-out suspension system can lead to bigger problems if left unchecked. Here are a few common signs that it's time to book a repair:
Feeling Every Bump on the Road
Your suspension is supposed to absorb those bumps. If you feel every dip or pothole, the system may be worn out.
Nose Dives When Braking
This can be a clear sign that your shocks are failing, especially if the front of the car dips down when you hit the brakes.
Pulling or Drifting When Turning
This often points to worn shocks or struts, making your car less stable in corners.
Uneven Tire Wear
If your suspension isn't holding the car level, it puts more pressure on certain tires, wearing them down faster.
Benefits of Steering and Suspension System Repairs
Fixing suspension issues does more than just improve comfort-it's about control and safety. Well-maintained steering and suspension systems help your tires stay in contact with the road, even during sharp turns or sudden stops.
Benefits include:
Better handling and stability
- Stay in control, especially in emergencies or rough driving conditions.
Longer tire lifespan
- Even suspension means even tire wear, which saves you money in the long run.
Improved fuel efficiency
- A properly aligned suspension reduces drag and rolling resistance.
Lower long-term repair costs
- Small issues in your suspension system can lead to bigger (and more expensive) damage over time.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I just wanted to share my experience for anyone else who may find themselves in a similar position. I was told by my dealership that I needed a rather immediate brake job done, amongst a laundry list of other things. I reached out to Jason first by calling - he was kind, courteous, thorough, and went out of his way to explain things to me regarding the (many) questions I had. I wanted to have someone else take a look at my brakes to see if I truly needed them replaced. I did wind up bringing my vehicle by, which he had his mechanic look at: turns out, replacing brake pads/rotors/etc was NOT dire, as my dealership led me to believe. Now, Jason & his mechanic *could* have told me, “Yes, you need new brakes and also XYZ 123 right now. Here’s our breakdown of parts & labor plus tax for a full quote, we can get you scheduled in next week.” But they didn’t. They reassured me that they were in good condition for the time being, gave me a general timeline for when I SHOULD anticipate having this repair done, and also warned me of things I should keep eyes/ears out for, should they need attention sooner. These guys are honest and just overall great people. I will be taking my business to Automotive Center of Mandeville from this point on for anything I’m unable to do myself, because it’s exactly this type of business that deserves such recognition and accolades. The biggest, most sincere thank you from a girl just trying to do her best!
I can't say enough good things about Automotive Center of Mandeville. My car has been through it! The first mechanic messed things up, second mechanic was overpriced and rude when I called back about my check engine light. I was honestly exhausted and discouraged, just praying to finally find someone I could trust. That's when I found Jason and Dale at Automotive Center. From the very first interaction, they were so kind, so genuine, and immediately made me feel like I wasn't just another customer. And Brian, their mechanic, is beyond impressive! He really knows his stuff, and it shows. For the first time ever, I actually met the mechanic working on my car, and that level of honesty and connection gave me so much peace of mind. They gave me the best price on diagnosing my car, but even more than that, they gave me respect, trust, and care. My only regret is not finding them sooner. I've finally found my shop, and I'll never go anywhere else.

These guys are fantastic! My fuel pump went out and they got it in and called me much quicker than i expected. They gave me what i feel was an awesome price for the repair, because i had been quoted much higher through a different mechanic and they didnt try to upsell me stuff i didnt need. The mechanic and service writer walked me through what all was needed and why with an easy to understand explanation. 10/10 do recommend!!
