🛞 Steering Issues? Don’t Ignore the Signs 🛞

Your steering system is critical to vehicle control and safety. Worn steering components like tie rods, ball joints, bushings, or steering racks can lead to loose handling, clunking noises, uneven tire wear, and poor alignment.

⚠️ Common warning signs include:
• Steering wheel play or looseness
• Pulling to one side
• Clunking or popping noises when turning
• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Vibration in the steering wheel

Catching steering problems early can prevent costly repairs and keep your vehicle safe on the road.

🔋 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.

🚗 Fresh Shocks Installed!
Worn-out shocks don’t just make your ride feel rough—they also affect braking distance, steering response, and overall vehicle stability.

✔️ New shocks = better control
✔️ Reduced tire wear
✔️ Smoother & safer driving
✔️ Improved handling on rough roads

If your vehicle feels bouncy, sways during turns, or nose-dives when braking, it may be time for replacement.

🚗✨ Precision Wheel Alignment – Because Every Degree Matters!

At Hank’s Automotive Repair & Diagnostics, we make sure your vehicle drives straight, handles smoothly, and keeps your tires lasting as long as possible.

This alignment report shows a 2023 GMC Acadia dialed in perfectly —
✔️ Caster
✔️ Camber
✔️ Toe
All measurements are now right where they should be.

Proper alignment helps:
🔹 Reduce uneven tire wear
🔹 Improve fuel efficiency
🔹 Enhance steering response
🔹 Increase overall safety

If your vehicle pulls to one side, your steering wheel isn’t centered, or your tires are wearing oddly, it’s time for an alignment!

🚗 Custom Exhaust Upgrade on This Chevy Suburban!

At Hank’s Automotive Repair & Diagnostics, we handle everything from everyday maintenance to custom exhaust work—just like this clean setup we finished on a lifted Suburban. A properly-built exhaust not only improves sound and performance, but also ensures safe routing and clearance for lifted or modified vehicles.

If your exhaust system is:
✔️ Rusted
✔️ Leaking
✔️ Too loud / too quiet
✔️ Rattling
✔️ Or you want a custom-built system…
—we’ve got you covered!

🛑 Your Brakes Are Trying to Tell You Something

In this picture, you can see leaking brake caliper and worn hardware—a common issue we find during inspections. Problems like this may start small, but they can quickly lead to:
• ⚠️ Reduced stopping power
• ⚠️ Uneven or excessive pad/rotor wear
• ⚠️ Brake fluid loss
• ⚠️ Longer stopping distances
• ⚠️ Potential brake failure

Your brake system is the most important safety feature on your vehicle. If you hear grinding, feel vibrations, or notice the pedal getting soft, it’s time for a brake inspection.

At Hank’s Automotive Repair & Diagnostics, we don’t just replace parts—we diagnose the real cause to ensure your brakes perform exactly how they should.

🛠 Wheel Bearings Matter More Than You Think
What you’re looking at here is a wheel bearing that completely failed — and the damage speaks for itself.

When a bearing loses lubrication or breaks apart, the rollers grind against the spindle and hub, creating heat, metal shavings, and major safety hazards. If left unchecked, this can lead to:
• ⚠️ Wheel lock-up
• ⚠️ Loss of steering control
• ⚠️ Spindle damage (like shown here)
• ⚠️ Increased repair cost

At Hank’s Automotive, we clean, inspect, and properly repack or replace your wheel bearings to keep your vehicle safe and smooth on the road.
