Our Specialties: Where We Shine

We take pride in being the leading experts in axle, suspension, and wheel alignment for trucks in Rapid City, SD, and the surrounding region. Here's what sets us apart:

Our team can diagnose and repair any suspension component, from worn-out bushings to faulty shocks and struts. We can also perform precise suspension adjustments to restore your truck's ride quality and handling.

Testimonials

Customer Testimonials

"I took my 2021 Jeep Gladiator in to take care of the “death wobble” that was happening after hitting bumps at highway speed.  The guys were great and were able to track down hard to find parts for this newer model.  The cost was surprisingly reasonable for the amount of work they did.  Would highly recommend!"
