🚗 Steering & Suspension Safety Check 🔧

This photo shows a worn outer tie rod end—a critical steering component that directly affects how your vehicle handles and responds. When parts like this start to wear, you may notice loose steering, uneven tire wear, vibrations, or pulling while driving. Left unchecked, steering components can fail and create a serious safety risk.

At Hank’s Automotive Repair, we inspect, diagnose, and replace worn steering and suspension parts to keep your vehicle driving straight, smooth, and safe. Whether it’s tie rods, ball joints, control arms, or a full alignment after repairs—we’ve got you covered.

Another clean exhaust repair in the books 🔧
This vehicle came in with exhaust issues that could’ve led to noise, poor performance, and potential exhaust leaks. We installed a new muffler and properly secured the exhaust system to restore quiet operation and correct flow.

A healthy exhaust system isn’t just about sound — it helps with fuel efficiency, engine performance, and keeping harmful fumes where they belong.

If your vehicle is loud, rattling, or you smell exhaust, don’t ignore it. We’ve got you covered.

This is what quality suspension and steering work looks like. 👀
From worn-out components to a solid, reliable setup, we make sure every part is installed correctly and built to last. Upgraded control arms, new shocks/struts, tight steering components, and proper hardware all play a huge role in how your vehicle handles, rides, and keeps you safe on the road.

If you’re experiencing:
• Clunking or popping noises
• Loose or wandering steering
• Uneven tire wear
• Poor ride quality
• Vibration or pulling

…it’s time to have your suspension and steering inspected. These systems take a beating every mile you drive, especially here in Michigan, and worn parts can quickly turn into unsafe driving conditions if ignored.

At Hank’s Automotive Repair, we don’t cut corners. We inspect everything, replace what’s needed, and make sure your vehicle leaves our shop driving straight, smooth, and safe. Whether it’s daily driving, towing, or heavy-duty use, we’ve got you covered.

🔋 Charging System Check — Why It Matters
When your vehicle is running, your alternator should keep the electrical system supplied with a steady voltage. In this case, we’re reading 14.73 volts, which is right where it should be for a healthy charging system.

A proper alternator output ensures:
✔️ Your battery stays charged
✔️ Your lights, ignition, and electronics operate correctly
✔️ You avoid unexpected no-start situations
✔️ Your battery doesn’t get overcharged or damaged

If you’re experiencing dim lights, slow cranking, battery warnings, or electrical issues, it may be time for a charging system inspection. We test alternators, starters, and batteries to pinpoint the issue quickly and accurately.
