Undercar Services: Maintenance & Repair


Rely on Ted's Auto Clinic Inc. in Chicago, IL 60634 to provide quality care for your vehicle's undercarriage. Stop by our shop to see how we can help you or call 773-625-7360 for more information.

To keep your vehicle safe and comfortable to drive, we provide undercar services that include:

Four Wheel Alignments
A wheel alignment is a standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear and improves vehicle handling and stability. A wheel alignment is recommended if any suspension or steering component(s) is replaced or when new tires are installed. Alignments are a complicated process and not all technicians get them right. At Ted's Auto Clinic, we have state-of-the-art wheel alignment equipment and the expertise to match.

Anti-Lock Brakes
Anti-lock brakes prevent wheel lock-up when rapidly decelerating by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop. With this system, the wheels are able to maintain traction with the road while braking. Failure of the anti-lock brakes could lead to an increase in the risks of multiple vehicle crashes and run-off road crashes. To avoid this, have your anti-lock brake system checked and repaired by experts. At Ted's Auto Clinic Inc., we have anti-lock brake experts who will examine and repair your faulty ABS - keeping you safe.

Brakes
A brake is a mechanical device for slowing or stopping a vehicle (usually by means of friction). In short, a brake inhibits your car's motion. It lets you stop the car whenever and wherever you choose. Brakes are one of the most important parts of a motor vehicle. Without them, you would not be able to stop the car. If your vehicle's brakes are having issues, consider having them worked on. Brake experts at Ted's Auto Clinic Inc. can work on your car's brakes to ensure you have a safe drive.

Chassis
A chassis is the car's internal framework that supports the body and other parts like the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weak or damaged chassis will translate to a weak car. To have a strong and properly working vehicle, have your car's chassis checked for defects. At Ted's Auto Clinic Inc., there are experienced undercar service providers who can work on your chassis.

Exhaust
In a motor vehicle, an exhaust system is a piping used to guide exhaust fumes away from the engine - usually to the rear of the vehicle. A properly functioning exhaust system not only sounds better, it is better - for you, your car, and the environment. Ted's Auto Clinic Inc. has expert technicians to service your car's exhaust system.

Driveline
A driveline is a part of your vehicle that connects the engine and the transmission to the wheel axles. The driveline consists of the parts of the powertrain less the engine and transmission. Failure of the driveline means that the car would not move since energy cannot be transmitted from the engine to the wheel axles. Therefore, make sure that your car's driveline is regularly inspected and serviced. At Ted's Auto Clinic Inc., you can have the driveline serviced by experts.

Tires
As tires get older; they lose traction and deteriorate from the inside out, increasing the likelihood of a tire bursting. This can cause a rapid loss of control of your vehicle. To have a better performing vehicle, you need to make sure the tires are in good condition. For all your tire needs, contact Ted's Auto Clinic Inc. today.

Shocks & Struts
Shock absorbers and struts are mechanical devices designed to smooth out rough roads. The devices do this by converting kinetic energy to another form of energy. Properly working shocks and struts reduce the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and vehicle handling. When shocks or struts develop problems, driving on poorly leveled roads becomes unpleasant, and your vehicle may sway when turning. To have your vehicle's shocks and/or struts inspected and repaired, visit Ted's Auto Clinic Inc. today.

Ted is the best. He and his family are the nicest and most honest people I know in the auto repair industry. They have serviced my family's vehicles for many years now and have always done excellent work on all accounts, and at fair prices too. They've even taught me a thing or two about cars during my experiences there! I will get my car serviced here as much as possible going forward.
