Proper wheel balance ensures that the wheels, while spinning, do not have a heavy spot that can cause vibration and premature wear of tires, struts, shocks and other steering and suspension components. When combined with proper wheel alignment, balanced wheels ensure smooth and enjoyable driving.


The primary function of your cars suspension and steering systems is to allow the wheels to move independently of the car, while keeping it "suspended" and stable. Any play or uncontrolled motion in these systems results in a deterioration of handling and accelerated tire wear. Vehicle alignment is closely tied to the condition of the suspension and steering systems.


The brake system is actually composed of two kinds of systems---Hydraulics and Friction Materials. Here's what happens within these systems between the time your foot hits the brake pedal and your car stops.


Testimonials


My 1990 Honda Civic had a tune-up and the car ran better than ever - I could tell the difference...and then I needed a new starter and alternator - the car was starting intermittently. They showed me how they diagnosed it and fixed it while I waited....(It's not like they didn't have other business, either.).. I used their wifi to work on my laptop while I waited. Plus the guys in the garage sing while they work - an added bonus. A nice place with nice people.

My father got into a small accident with a tree last week and I wanted to find a reputable and reasonable auto body shop in Manhattan. I have heard and read about horror stories that have happened to unsuspecting owners who have taken their cars to auto body shops and left unsatisfied with the quality and service that they received.

I took my car to an autobody place called Broadway Automotive up on 194th Street and B'way and they did an amazing job and charged me a reasonable price! They took an unsightly dent on the front of my hood/grill and did a superb job. The car looks like new!

In addition to fixing the front damage they hammered out other dents that I had (one from someone sitting on the hood), evened out the hood (it was slightly raised on one side) and even washed the car!

I couldn't be happier with the results. The quality is spot-on (no uneveness, bumps or irregularities).

I'd also like to add that I was treated very well by the staff. This is an important part of the service. It's always appreciated by the customer when they get treated well and they receive their car in good repair.

Lastly, the guys at Broadway Automotive got my car back to me in the time they promised (2 days!) and I was able to get back on the road in no time at all.

I would not hesitate to highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for auto body work.
