    Comprehensive Undercarriage Repairs at Chantilly Motors

    At Chantilly Motors, we believe in a holistic approach to vehicle care, beginning with a thorough evaluation of your vehicle’s foundation: the undercarriage. Before we dive into inspecting the internal components, we prioritize ensuring that your car or truck has a strong and well-maintained undercarriage.

    Our undercarriage inspections and services focus on this critical but often overlooked area of your vehicle, offering the attention and care it deserves. To prevent potential issues and ensure your vehicle’s longevity, we recommend scheduling an undercar service inspection today.

    Contact us at 703-830-5555 or visit our location in Chantilly, VA, to schedule an appointment and make sure your vehicle is in optimal condition!

    Our Competitively Priced Undercar Services Include:

    Alignment

    Proper wheel alignment is essential to maintain your vehicle’s handling and prolong the life of your tires. Our expert technicians adjust your wheels according to the manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring your suspension and steering systems work as intended.

    Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)

    The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) prevents your wheels from locking during hard braking, allowing you to maintain control of your vehicle. If your ABS is faulty, it can significantly increase the risk of accidents. Our team specializes in diagnosing and repairing ABS issues to ensure your vehicle’s safety.

    Brake System Flush

    Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which can reduce its effectiveness and cause corrosion within the system. A brake system flush replaces old, contaminated fluid with fresh fluid to maintain braking performance. Periodic brake flushes are essential to ensure your vehicle’s safety.

    Brakes

    Your brakes are one of the most critical components of your vehicle. They allow you to stop or slow down when necessary, preventing accidents. At Chantilly Motors, we offer comprehensive brake inspections, repairs, and replacements to keep your vehicle safe on the road.

    Chassis

    The chassis is the internal framework of your vehicle, supporting essential components like the wheels, engine, and transmission. A weak or damaged chassis can compromise your vehicle’s overall performance. Regular inspections ensure that your vehicle remains strong and reliable.

    Custom Exhaust

    A vehicle’s exhaust system is responsible for removing exhaust gases, but it can be modified to improve engine performance, reduce noise, and minimize pollution. At Chantilly Motors, we offer custom exhaust systems for a wide variety of vehicles, including performance cars and classics.

    Differential Flush

    The differential compensates for differences in distance traveled by the wheels during turns. Over time, the differential fluid breaks down, impacting performance. Regular differential flushes are essential to ensure smooth operation and prevent costly damage.

    Differentials

    Differentials distribute power to your wheels and allow them to rotate at different speeds when turning. Regular inspections help maintain proper differential function, which is critical for your vehicle’s overall performance.

    Driveline

    The driveline connects the engine and transmission to the wheel axles, transferring power to the wheels. A faulty driveline can leave your vehicle immobilized, making regular maintenance and inspections essential.

    Exhaust

    Your vehicle’s exhaust system removes harmful gases produced by the engine. A well-maintained exhaust system not only sounds better but also improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. At Chantilly Motors, our technicians can diagnose and repair exhaust system issues to keep your vehicle running efficiently.

    Shock Absorbers

    Shock absorbers minimize the impact of rough road surfaces, improving ride comfort and handling. If your vehicle sways excessively during turns or feels unstable on uneven roads, it may be time to replace your shocks.

    Struts

    Struts function similarly to shocks but provide structural support to your vehicle’s suspension system. Struts carry the weight of your vehicle, and over time, their performance can deteriorate. Regular inspections help maintain a smooth and safe ride.

    Suspension FAQs

    How often should shocks be replaced?

    Experts recommend replacing shocks every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. If you notice poor handling or rough rides, contact Chantilly Motors to inspect your shocks.

    What is the difference between shocks and struts?

    Shocks absorb road impacts, while struts provide structural support to your suspension system. Your vehicle will have either shocks or struts, but not both. Struts are typically more robust, supporting the vehicle’s weight, while shocks control movement.

    Is an alignment necessary after replacing struts?

    Yes, we recommend getting an alignment after replacing struts or other suspension components to ensure your tires wear evenly and your vehicle handles properly.

    Should I replace both shocks or struts at the same time?

    Yes, replacing both shocks or struts ensures balanced handling. Replacing only one can result in poor handling and uneven wear.

    Differential FAQs

    Is it necessary to change front and rear differential fluid?

    Yes, differential fluid should be changed every 40,000 to 60,000 miles to maintain performance. If you drive in tough conditions, you may need to change the fluid more frequently.

    What is front and rear differential service?

    Differential service involves draining old fluid, replacing it with new fluid, and inspecting the surrounding components to ensure proper function.

    Testimonials

    Here's what our customers have to say about Car Repair Service

    Good service and a reasonable price. My AC was kaput. I didn’t want to drive back to VA and took it to the local mechanic in MD state. The local mechanic was clueless and was not able to fix it (three attempts and wasted $$$ and my time) until I took the car to this shop. They have a good mechanic and solved he issue right away. Highly recommend. It was worth the effort to drive 35 miles away to get my car fixed properly
