Undercar Services in Mandeville, LA
Undercar Repairs in Mandeville
At Automotive Center of Mandeville, we take a holistic approach to vehicle care, beginning with a thorough evaluation of your car or truck's foundation. Prior to inspecting the internal components of your vehicle, we prioritize ensuring that you have a strong undercarriage.
Our comprehensive undercarriage inspections and services address this vital but often overlooked area of your vehicle, affording it the care and attention it deserves.
Driveline
The driveline represents a vehicle section that connects the engine and transmission to the wheel axles. This component consists of powertrain parts excluding the engine and transmission. A driveline failure translates to an immobilized vehicle, as energy cannot be transmitted from the engine to the wheel axles.
Shock Absorbers
Shocks, or shock absorbers, are mechanical devices engineered to smooth out rough road surfaces. They achieve this by converting kinetic energy into another form of energy. Properly functioning shocks minimize the impact of traveling over uneven terrain, leading to an improved ride quality and enhanced vehicle handling.
Struts
Much like shock absorbers (shocks), struts serve to dampen the effects of road surfaces as you drive. By absorbing road shocks, struts enable passengers to experience a smoother ride. Struts differ from shocks in that they provide structural support for your vehicle's suspension.

Suspension FAQs
How often should shocks be replaced?
Experts recommend that shocks be replaced at 50,000-100,000 miles. If you are a more aggressive driver or frequently drive on rough roads, they will wear out faster. Shocks don't go out all at once, they deteriorate slowly over time. If you are noticing problems with handling, making smooth turns or ride smoothness have one of the professionals at Automotive Center of Mandeville inspect your shocks.
Are struts difficult to replace?
Replacing struts is simple and fast for a professional. Replacing your front struts yourself is not recommended, especially if you need a new complete strut assembly kit. When you get your truck's struts replaced you also need to have the front-end alignment checked. Ask the professionals at Automotive Center of Mandeville to replace your struts and we will complete the work quickly and easily.
Is it necessary to get an alignment after strut replacement?
Automotive Center of Mandeville recommends performing an alignment anytime shocks, struts or other steering and suspension components are replaced. Getting your vehicle's alignment within factory specifications ensures optimal tire wear and helps prolong the life of your tires.
What happens if I only replace one strut or shock?
If you replace only one shock or strut, it will create poor handling when changing lanes or driving over bumps. If your car is new, replacing only one strut or shock absorber may be ok since the opposite side shock is not worn out yet. Generally, Automotive Center of Mandeville recommends replacing both shocks or struts.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Wonderful service great prices and without a doubt honest. we’ll never go to another mechanic shop again. Automotive Of Mandeville is number one in our book.
Mandeville, LA
Great experience this week working with Jason. We called on Monday and explained our issue, dropping the car off that morning following our conversation. He provided a repair estimate by Monday afternoon and completed the repairs by Friday. They even did us a huge favor on a separate issue with the car that we had not discussed - which to me, reflects a desire to do the right thing for the customer, something not enough businesses do these days! Could not recommend Automotive Center of Mandeville enough for any auto repair needs.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. 1st visit was to customize an old truck for my son with a lift, wheels, stepbar and truck bed. They provided honest thoughtful advice, and it turned out great, so I knew I’d be back. Since then, they’ve done the AC, audio and mechanical repairs and now I won’t go anywhere else, even for routine maintenance. Always responsive, transparent and fairly priced. Highly recommended
