Clicking when turning, noise over bumps, or vibration? We locate it
Noise diagnosis in suspension, front and rear axle, transmissions, drive shafts and cardan shafts. 1 hour minimum on the lift + 30 inspection points + road test to pinpoint the exact origin. What's a click today, could be 1,200 ? tomorrow.
A loose ball joint destroys a driveshaft in a few weeks
The suspension system works like a chain. A broken silentblock misaligns the ball joint, the ball joint damages the driveshaft, the driveshaft breaks the CV joint, and in 6-12 months you go from 80 ? (silentblock) a 1.200 ?+ (full chain + alignment + worn tires). Added to the real risk of an accident. The small noise is the only free warning your car gives you.

unique in Mallorca with 4-post lift + Hunter 3D alignment
We don't diagnose noises by ear. We have what others don't: professional 4-post lift + Hunter 3D alignment bench + industrial mechanical stethoscope and technicians trained in active suspension Mercedes Airmatic, BMW Dynamic Damper Control and Range Rover EAS.
We locate the exact noise, not an approximation
The 4-post lift allows load the car with real weight while we inspect. Unlike 2-post lifts which lift the suspension and conceal actual play under load.
The bench Hunter 3D measures toe, camber, and caster with sub-millimetric precision – it's the same equipment used by official BMW and Mercedes dealerships in Spain.
Team trained in premium active suspension: Mercedes Airmatic / Magic Body Control, BMW EDC, Range Rover EAS and AHC, Porsche PASM. We don't improvise with air suspension or continuous damping.
