Service Overview

Air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an electric or engine-driven air pump or compressor. This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile-reinforced rubber. The air pressure inflates the bellows, and raises the chassis from the axle.

Air suspension systems provide a smoother ride and better handling than traditional coil spring systems. However, they require specialized maintenance and repair when issues arise. At Car Services in Reading, we have the expertise to diagnose and repair all types of air suspension systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common issues include air bag leaks, compressor failure, height sensor problems, and valve block issues. Symptoms include the vehicle sitting lower than normal, a noisy compressor that runs constantly, or a rough ride quality.

Air suspension air bags typically last 6-10 years depending on driving conditions and vehicle usage. The compressor can last 8-10 years with proper maintenance. Regular inspections help identify issues before they become serious.

While the vehicle may still be drivable with minor air suspension issues, significant problems can affect handling and safety. If the vehicle is sitting very low or the compressor is not working, you should have it inspected immediately.
