Suspension in Kanata
Kanata is where the truck starts and finishes, so it is the easiest place in the service area to get to on a weeknight.
Suspension
Mobile suspension repair
Struts, shocks, springs, control arms, bushings and links, including the clunk you have stopped noticing.
We come to you across Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, Nepean and the rest of the west end, weeknights from 5pm and all day Saturday and Sunday, so the car is fixed where it already sits.
What it covers
Suspension, in full
Struts, shocks, springs and control arms, including the clunk you've been living with.
- Suspension diagnostics
- Struts & shocks
- Springs and control arms
- Bushings and links
Suspension is the work that gets lived with longest, because it starts as a noise and a noise is easy to get used to. It is also the one job here with a condition attached, and it is worth reading before you book: we do the struts, shocks, springs, control arms, bushings and links on your driveway, and we do not do alignments. Anything we do that moves the geometry gets said out loud before we start, so the alignment afterwards is a booking you make knowingly rather than a bill you meet later.
How long it takes. A pair of front struts is most of an evening. A link or a bushing is often under an hour.
Why people call
What people describe when they ring about this
You do not have to know what the part is called. These are the words people actually use, and any one of them is enough to book on.
- A clunk over speed bumps or a driveway lip
- The car carrying on bouncing after a dip in the road
- A corner that sits visibly lower than the other three
- A knock that only happens turning at low speed
- A tire wearing on its inside edge, which is usually alignment following a worn arm
The one thing we will ask back. Where is the noise coming from, and is it worse over bumps or in corners? Answer that in the first message and you will usually get a price without a second round of questions.
On the truck
What turns up on your driveway
- A spring compressor, which is the tool that decides whether a strut job can happen on a driveway at all
- Struts, shocks and links for common vehicles, ordered against your VIN so the part matches the trim
- Torque wrenches, because suspension fasteners are torqued to a figure and not to feel
- The other three corners looked over while the car is up, so you find out about the next one before it is the reason for another visit.
What we will not do on a driveway. We do not do alignments. That needs a rack, and it needs one after the parts are on. Suspension work that changes geometry is done here and the alignment is booked afterwards, and we will tell you before we start if the job needs one.
What it costs
Priced before anybody turns a bolt
There is no price for a suspension job on this page on purpose. What it comes to depends on the vehicle, the parts it takes and what is found once a wheel is off, and a figure written here would either be wrong or be something you end up arguing about in a driveway.
You get the cost of the work and the cost of the drive together, before anything is booked, and it does not change once you have said yes.
Whatever we have published is on the pricing page, and the warranty, the emergency call-out and what happens with parts you supply yourself are on the FAQ.
Getting to you
The drive is a set figure
Travel is priced by where you are rather than by the hour, and every postal code and village we cover has its own number against it. Kanata carries none at all, because that is where the truck starts and finishes its day.
A fuel surcharge is added to the estimate to cover the drive to you. You see both numbers, the work and the trip, before you agree to anything.
Look yours up on the service-area page, which carries the whole table and a checker for your own three letters.

“Solid characters, efficient and very knowledgeable. The mobile service directly to your laneway is very ideal!”Lisa Potter · September 2025
Written up for where you are
Suspension in the three towns that are most of our week
What tends to go wrong on this job around there, and where the car can be parked while we do it.
Suspension in Stittsville
Stittsville is mostly newer subdivisions with real driveways, which is close to ideal: the car is on level asphalt at the address it lives at, and there is room to work beside it.
Suspension in Barrhaven
Barrhaven is a mix. Longfields and Half Moon Bay are wide driveways and easy work; the older townhouse rows off Strandherd and Greenbank are shared lots where the spaces are tight and sometimes on a slope.

We rent trailers too, from the same driveway. An equipment trailer and an enclosed cargo one.
Or send it over: your number, the car and what it is doing, one question at a time. It takes a minute and we price it from that.
