Bristol has strong connections to the car industry thanks to the iconic British brand Bristol Cars. This manufacturer made vehicles for the rich and famous and rose to prominence after the Second World War. In 2021, an entrepreneur announced plans to revive the brand, to the delight of many fans. Unfortunately, a 2022 study of 25 major cities named Bristol the worst place to drive in Britain based on congestion, air quality, road condition, active bus routes and several other factors.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Bristol to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Bristol, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
Driving in cities like Bristol puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Bristol for all these crucial components.
Car suspension does a few important jobs. It maximises the friction between the tyres and road surface, absorbs the shock from speed and road bumps, provides steering stability and generally gives you and your passengers a more comfortable drive. Find out more about how it does these things in this guide to suspension.
The following symptoms could indicate you need to book a car suspension repair:
- Drifting/pulling to one side after corners
- Continued bouncing after hitting a bump
- A generally bumpy ride
- One side of the car sitting lower than the other when it is parked
If your vehicle is difficult to handle, there could be other issues at play, such as incorrect wheel alignment, which is why it's crucial to have the problem checked by an expert.
Shock absorbers, leaf springs, coil springs and torsion bars are all suspension components that sometimes need replacing. Shock absorber replacement is one of the most common categories of repair carried out by car suspension specialists.
