What Texas Roads Do to a Chevrolet or GMC

Heat and rough pavement each wear on a Chevrolet or GMC front end in their own way.

  • Summer heat can harden and crack the rubber boots on the ball joints and the suspension bushings. A torn boot lets dirt into the joint until it wears loose.
  • A hard pothole hit can bend a tie rod or shift the wheel angles. That can show up as a pull or uneven tire wear.

A full-size pickup puts more weight on those same parts, and we do pickup truck repair at both shops.

Frequently asked questions

Which areas do you serve for Chevrolet and GMC work?

We take care of truck and car owners from Houston and Stafford at our two shops.

Which other vehicle makes do you service?

Alongside Chevrolet and GMC, we work most on Ford, Toyota, Honda and Jeep. If you want to see all of them, see the full list of makes we service.

Can you fix the A/C on my Chevrolet or GMC?

Yes, we do air conditioning service. Hot outside air makes it harder for the condenser at the front of the car to shed heat. If refrigerant has also leaked out through aging seals, the air from the vents gets warmer.

What causes loose steering on a Chevrolet or GMC truck?

Loose steering often comes from worn joints in the steering linkage, like tie rod ends. Each one is a pivot, and as it wears it picks up slack. That slack lets the truck wander in its lane and can scuff the tire edges.

Why does my Chevrolet or GMC pull to one side?

A pull can come from more than one thing. A pothole or curb hit can shift the wheel angles, a tire can be low or worn unevenly, and a brake can drag. Each cause has a different fix, so have the pull checked before you buy tires or an alignment.

Can I keep driving my truck if the brakes are grinding?

Grinding when braking usually means the pads are worn through. Have the vehicle inspected before continuing to drive it. Once the pad material is gone, the steel backing plate rubs on the rotor and cuts grooves into it.
