SUSPENSION SERVICE
Keep Your Vehicle Securely on The Road with our Suspension Service.
Your car or truck was originally designed to hug the road safely to increase fuel efficiency and improve safety with a well designed suspension system. The suspension system is comprised of many different components that all work together to help your vehicle manage balance and center of gravity while turning corners and stopping. A misaligned or worn out suspension system components can result in wandering, increased stopping distance, and increased risk of roll over in vehicles with a high center of gravity. Our Suspension Service will help keep you and your family safe by improving vehicle handling and braking.
Suspension problems can be suspected if any of the following occur:
- Wobbly or misaligned steering wheel (when driving straight, the steering wheel isn’t straight as well)
- Excessive sway or drifting while turning
- Taking a longer distance to come to a complete stop
- Bouncing when driving over bumps in the road
- Loud clicking or banging when driving over bumps in the road
- Wild vibrating throughout the vehicle when braking, accelerating, or turning
- Excessive or increased tire wear
Our ASE Certified Suspension System Technicians are highly experienced in diagnosing and repairing suspension problems. Trust the experts at Contra Costa Smog to get your vehicle performing like new.

AIR CONDITIONING SERVICES
Driving in the heat without a working air conditioning system can be unbearable at times. If you notice that the A/C in your car has stopped working correctly, it may be time to have your system repaired or recharged. Our ASE certified experts can help with any air conditioning related repair or service that your vehicle may need.
The following symptoms can indicate a problem with your vehicle’s A/C system:
- Air blowing out doesn’t feel cold
- No air or hot air blowing from air vents
- Strange noises when you turn on A/C
- An unpleasant smell when A/C is on
If you are experiencing any of the above, don’t hesitate to bring your vehicle into our shop. It may be a small fix that can get you back on the road with cold air flowing. Our master mechanics will perform an air condition inspection and help you determine what is going on with your vehicle’s A/C, including checking Freon levels, wiring, compressor, fans, and checking for leaks.
Once we determine the cause of the issue, we will discuss our recommendations with you personally and provide you with a full estimate of the work needed.
EMISSIONS REPAIR
If your vehicle burns fuel, it emits tailpipe fumes. Your vehicle uses emissions control systems to minimize harmful substances contained in your exhaust. When your engine isn’t running smoothly or your exhaust is black, it’s a sign your car likely needs an emission repair. For more than 25 years, Contra Costa Smog has been a reliable choice for high-quality emission repairs in Walnut Creek.
If your vehicle fails the smog check, it means a component or system is not functioning properly enough to meet the requirements set by the California Air Resources Board.
Occasionally, the problem is as simple as a Check Engine light that was recently on but is now cleared, or a battery that was recently disconnected. But in most cases of a failed smog check, a thorough diagnostic service will be necessary to pinpoint the problem.
At Contra Costa Smog, our expert technicians will diagnose the cause of the smog check failure and recommend repairs to ensure your vehicle passes the next test. And as a certified STAR smog check station, we also offer repairs for gross polluters, which are vehicles with extremely high levels of smog-causing chemicals.
