Chassis
The chassis serves as the internal framework of your vehicle, providing support for various components such as the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weakened or damaged chassis can lead to a weaker vehicle overall.
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.

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 Jake's Auto Services Inc. 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 Jake's Auto Services Inc. to replace your struts and we will complete the work quickly and easily.
Is it necessary to get an alignment after strut replacement?
Jake's Auto Services Inc. 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, Jake's Auto Services Inc. recommends replacing both shocks or struts.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I called around 4 pm on a Friday because my normal mechanic had a scheduling conflict and couldn't repair my breaks. I was very worried that my car was not safe to drive as I had let the issue go for so long. The office manager was happy to have me bring the car in that night and take a look at the issue to see if I would be okay to drive. They scheduled my car in for Tuesday, and fixed as promised for the price quoted. I had my normal mechanic double check the prices listed on the invoice and everything was in order. Overall I would use this shop again. As a female who knows very little about mechanics, I felt confident that Jake's auto service was acting in my best interest. Thanks guys!!
I'm not much of a reviewer, the last thing I want to do is spend more time typing in front of a computer after work, but after the service I received from Jake's I feel obligated to write a review. I know I can trust the knowledge and expertise at Jake's (since he's worked on my cars previously) and if their is a problem, they will own it and make it right.
