Steering & Suspension Repair in Rochester & Winona, MN | Joe’s Auto & Tire
Handling issues? Ride feels loose? Don’t ignore the signs.
Your vehicle’s steering and suspension system is what keeps you in control—especially at high speeds, on rough roads, or in emergency situations. Together, these systems support the weight of your vehicle, absorb road shock, and maintain tire-to-road contact for safe handling.
At Joe’s Auto & Tire, we offer expert suspension and steering repair in Rochester, MN, Winona, and surrounding areas. Our certified technicians provide accurate diagnostics and honest repairs to restore safety and drivability.
“Steering/suspension/transmission/engine-related problems were assigned as critical reasons in 3 percent (±3.3%) or 2000 of such crashes.”
— NHTSA, Critical Reasons for Crashes Investigated in the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey 2005-2007 (most recent official report)
“Normal driving and conditions create wear and tear on your suspension and steering systems. All of the components that make up those systems such as struts, shocks, control arm bushings, ball joints, coil springs and steering linkage will wear and weaken over time. This wear creates instability in road handling, excessive tire wear, and loss of ride comfort, steering control and drivability.”
