While your vehicle is in the garage, you may need public transport; Dover bus station is on Pencester Road.

Since Dover is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Dover.

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 steering and 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, and 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.
