Chassis
The chassis serves as the internal framework of your vehicle, providing support for various components such as the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weakened or damaged chassis can lead to a weaker vehicle overall.
Custom Exhaust
A motor vehicle's exhaust system consists of piping that guides exhaust gasses from the engine to the outdoors. While its primary purpose is the removal of exhaust gasses, it can be modified to enhance engine power, reduce pollution, and minimize noise. Achieving these goals necessitates undercar service installation of a custom-made exhaust system.
Differential Flush
The differential is a critical vehicle component that compensates for variations in travel distance between the inner and outer wheels during turns. Typically located at the rear and under non-four-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles, differentials often do not receive the same level of attention as engines. However, it is essential to understand that differential failure equates to vehicle failure.
Differentials
Differentials serve as the components responsible for transmitting engine power to the wheels. A key function of the differential is to distribute power to the wheels while permitting them to rotate at varying speeds, thus earning its name.
Driveline
The driveline represents a vehicle section that connects the engine and transmission to the wheel axles. This component consists of powertrain parts excluding the engine and transmission. A driveline failure translates to an immobilized vehicle, as energy cannot be transmitted from the engine to the wheel axles.
Shock Absorbers
Shocks, or shock absorbers, are mechanical devices engineered to smooth out rough road surfaces. They achieve this by converting kinetic energy into another form of energy. Properly functioning shocks minimize the impact of traveling over uneven terrain, leading to an improved ride quality and enhanced vehicle handling.
Struts
Much like shock absorbers (shocks), struts serve to dampen the effects of road surfaces as you drive. By absorbing road shocks, struts enable passengers to experience a smoother ride. Struts differ from shocks in that they provide structural support for your vehicle's suspension.

Suspension FAQs
What happens if I only replace one strut or shock?
Replacing only one shock or strut can create uneven handling when changing lanes, turning, or driving over bumps because each side may respond differently. In most cases, Tucson Transmission Auto & Diesel Repair recommends replacing shocks or struts in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling and performance.
Are shocks difficult to replace?
Shock replacement can be straightforward, but some vehicles require additional components to be removed or serviced during the repair. Bring your vehicle to Tucson Transmission Auto & Diesel Repair in Tucson, and our professionals can inspect the suspension and determine what is needed.
How often should shocks be replaced?
Shocks may need replacement around 50,000 to 100,000 miles, although driving habits and rough road conditions can cause them to wear more quickly. If you notice poor handling, excessive bouncing, difficulty making smooth turns, or reduced ride comfort, have the professionals at Tucson Transmission Auto & Diesel Repair inspect your shocks.
Are struts difficult to replace?
Strut replacement requires proper tools and installation procedures, so it is generally best handled by a professional. After replacing front struts, Tucson Transmission Auto & Diesel Repair can also check the vehicle's alignment to help ensure proper handling and even tire wear.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Maybe the best Transmission shop in AZ? I'm on Vacation and become in trouble with my rear end. Asked two other shops, one offered an appointmend next month, the other was not interested. Mike told me: "come in, we will have a look" Finaly: Plenty of Experience in the house, a great team with heart and soul for screws and nuts, the Differential of my 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD runs smooth and quiet again now. They changed all diff- and rear wheel bearings and it took only three days. Professional Service! And so AIRSTREAM and me can create more memories on our Roadtrip. Thanks to Mike and the Team for make all these posible! Kept you in best memories.

We are extremely satisfied with Tucson Auto and Diesel! My husbands truck was pretty much dead and Josh the owner contacted us through Facebook and got us in the very next day! We had some trouble getting our truck there, but nonetheless we got it there. We expected our truck to be out for a couple days considering we had just dropped it off, and they got it back to us the same exact day! If I could recommend anyone to go anywhere for their trucks it’s this place! 10/10 experience!

Holy Cow! This place knocks it out of the park. Super friendly staff especially the greeters at the front desk. The cost for my KIA Transfer Case replacement was very reasonable compared to the "crooks" at Royal KIA service department. I will be going back here for sure, highly recommended.
