Brakes, Steering & Suspension Repairs

At DG Auto Electrical & Mechanical, we provide comprehensive undercar care. With 20 years of experience, Damien can diagnose knocks, squeaks, and handling issues, restoring your vehicle to factory-fresh safety and comfort.

Professional Brake Repairs and Servicing
Brakes are wearable components that require regular inspection and replacement. If you hear a squealing or grinding noise when braking, feel a shudder through the steering wheel, or notice that your car takes longer to stop, you need to have your brakes checked immediately.
We offer complete brake services, including the replacement of brake pads and shoes using high-quality friction materials that minimize dust and noise. We also offer on-car and off-car disc rotor machining to remove runout and glazing, ensuring a perfectly smooth braking surface. If your rotors are worn below the minimum safe thickness, we supply and fit premium replacements.
Furthermore, we inspect and repair hydraulic brake components, including calipers, wheel cylinders, and brake hoses. We also perform brake fluid flushes, removing old, moisture-contaminated fluid to maintain a firm, responsive brake pedal.
Steering System Diagnostics and Repair
A precise steering system is vital for vehicle control. If your steering feels heavy, loose, or makes clunking noises when turning, it requires immediate attention. Issues can range from low power steering fluid or a slipping belt to worn tie rod ends or a failing steering rack.
We diagnose and repair both traditional hydraulic power steering systems and modern Electronic Power Steering (EPS) systems. As an auto electrical expert, Damien is perfectly equipped to handle faults in EPS systems, which often involve complex sensors and control modules.
We replace worn steering components, flush power steering fluid, and ensure your vehicle responds accurately and safely to every input from the steering wheel.
Suspension Repairs and Upgrades
Your suspension system keeps your tyres in contact with the road and provides a comfortable ride. Worn shock absorbers or struts significantly increase your stopping distance and make the car feel unstable or 'floaty' over bumps. Worn bushes can cause uneven tyre wear and clunking noises over rough surfaces.
We inspect all suspension components, including shock absorbers, coil springs, leaf springs, control arms, ball joints, and sway bar links. We replace worn parts with high-quality OEM or aftermarket equivalents, restoring your vehicle's handling and ride comfort.
For 4WD owners and those who carry heavy loads, we also offer suspension upgrades, including heavy-duty springs and upgraded shock absorbers to improve load-carrying capacity and off-road performance.
