Complete Brake, Suspension & Tire Care in One Place
Keeping You Safe, Stable, and on the Road
Your vehicle’s braking, suspension, and tire systems work together to keep you in control, comfortable, and protected on every drive. At Tom Dwyer Automotive Services, our ASE-Certified Technicians inspect, maintain, and repair these essential systems with precision and care. Here’s how we help you stay confident behind the wheel.
Brake Service and Repair
From brake pads and rotors to fluid flushes and hydraulic system repairs, our team ensures your vehicle stops safely and predictably. We use high-quality parts and advanced testing equipment to maintain consistent braking performance under any driving condition.
Suspension and Steering
A properly tuned suspension keeps your vehicle stable, smooth, and responsive. We inspect shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, and steering components to identify wear before it becomes a safety issue - restoring ride quality and handling you can trust.
Tires and Alignment
Tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, so every detail matters. We offer expert mounting, balancing, and rotation services, along with precision wheel alignments to maximize tire life, fuel efficiency, and traction in all weather conditions.
Welcoming new clients with vehicles 15 years old or newer;
proudly servicing existing clients’ vehicles of any year.
Our apologies, but we do not work on Salvage Title vehicles of any kind.
Brakes
Your braking system is a network-pads, rotors, calipers, hydraulic lines, ABS, and the brake booster all work together to stop smoothly and predictably. We start with measurements (pad/rotor thickness, runout, fluid condition) and a road test to feel pulsation, pull, or noise. Then we explain what’s worn, what’s borderline, and what can wait, so you get safe stopping power without unnecessary parts.

Suspension
Ride and handling come from more than shocks and struts-bushings, ball joints, control arms, and steering components keep the vehicle stable, aligned, and predictable. Wear is gradual, so the first clues are subtle: a thump over bumps, a floaty freeway feel, or tires feathering at the edges. We inspect each joint under load and verify with a road test before recommending repairs.
The Tom Dwyer Way
We identify the root cause (single component vs. system wear) and group repairs logically to restore geometry and save on duplicate labor. Post-repair alignments are performed to factory specs to protect tires and ensure straight tracking.

Tires
Tires are your only contact with the road, so traction, braking distance, and ride quality all start here. We help you pick the right tire for how you drive-wet grip, snow performance, tread life, noise, and load rating all matter. Professional mounting, balancing, rotations, and alignments keep new rubber performing like new.
The Tom Dwyer Way
We measure tread depth across the tire, check age and damage, and review your driving mix (city/highway/mountain). If alignment or suspension is accelerating wear, we fix that first so your new tires last.
