Engine Care & Routine Maintenance in Calgary

Rough ride? Potholes take a toll on your car. We restore your vehicle’s comfort, handling, and safety with professional suspension services.

Restore Your Vehicle’s Smooth Ride & Handling

Restore Your Vehicle’s Smooth Ride Sub-heading: Your suspension system does more than provide comfort, it keeps your tires on the road. MGI Auto fixes the squeaks, rattles, and drifts to ensure safe handling.

Shocks & Struts Replacement

Worn shocks increase stopping distance and make the car bounce uncontrollably over bumps. We replace tired struts and shocks with high-quality components that restore factory-level stability, ensuring your tires grip the road firmly during braking.

Precision 4-Wheel Alignment

Hitting a curb or a deep pothole can knock your wheels out of alignment instantly. Using advanced laser technology, we adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles. This prevents your car from pulling to the side and saves your tires from premature, uneven wear.

Control Arms, Ball Joints & Bushings

Hear a “clunk” when you go over a bump? It’s likely a worn control arm bushing or a loose ball joint. These parts hold your wheels to the frame. We inspect and replace these critical connection points to eliminate noise and prevent dangerous wheel separation.

Power Steering Repair & Fluid Flush

Steering shouldn’t be a workout. If your wheel feels heavy, whines when turning, or leaks red fluid, your pump or rack may be failing. We fix leaks, replace pumps, and flush the system to restore effortless control.

Signs Your Suspension or Alignment Needs Attention

Drifting: The car pulls to the left or right on a straight road.
Uneven Tire Wear: One side of the tire is bald while the other looks new.
Bouncing: The car continues to rock up and down after a bump.
Nose Dive: The front of the car dips down sharply when braking.
Noises: Clunking, banging, or squeaking sounds on rough roads.

Suspension & Alignment FAQ's

Do you provide a "before and after" printout report?

Documentation is standard procedure. Every alignment service concludes with a detailed color printout. This report clearly displays the “before” angles in red and the corrected “after” measurements in green, providing visual proof that the vehicle has been restored to manufacturer specifications.

Is a road test included to ensure the steering is straight?

Quality control involves a mandatory road test. Technicians drive the vehicle immediately following the alignment to verify the steering wheel is perfectly centered and the pull is gone. Adjustments are strictly verified on real road conditions, not just on the static hoist.

Can you perform alignments on lifted trucks or lowered cars?

Modified vehicles are fully supported. MGI Auto utilizes versatile alignment racks capable of handling lifted trucks or lowered suspensions common in Calgary. Technicians are experienced in adjusting non-standard suspension geometries to ensure tires wear evenly even on customized setups.

What implies the warranty coverage on suspension repairs?

Coverage is comprehensive. MGI Auto backs suspension repairs with a robust warranty on both parts and labor, typically extending for one year or 20,000 kilometers. This guarantee ensures that if a component fails prematurely, it is replaced without additional cost to the client.

Do you replace both sides if only one shock is leaking?

Stability dictates best practices. Manufacturers strongly recommend replacing shocks and struts in pairs (both fronts or both rears). Replacing only one creates an imbalance in handling and braking, so MGI Auto advises servicing the axle as a set for maximum safety.
