What We Offer

Our Specialties include:

With over 50 years of hands-on experience, Steman Align and Brake has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and honest service. Specializing in everything from alignments and brake repairs to front-end and chassis work, their team brings decades of expertise to every job. Whether it’s a simple oil change or a complex ABS repair, customers trust Steman for thorough diagnostics, quality parts, and workmanship that stands the test of time. Their deep understanding of ride control, tire services, and suspension systems ensures that every vehicle leaves the shop safer, smoother, and road-ready.

Our Services include:

Alignments: Precision is everything when it comes to your vehicle’s alignment. At Steman Align and Brake, we ensure your wheels are perfectly aligned to improve handling, extend tire life, and keep your ride smooth and safe. Whether you've hit a pothole or just need routine maintenance, we’ll get you back on track.
Rotor Turning: If your brakes feel shaky or noisy, it might be time for rotor turning. We resurface your rotors to restore a smooth braking surface, helping you stop safely and confidently without replacing the entire component.
Brake Lines and Fittings: Brake lines are the lifeline of your braking system. We inspect, repair, and replace brake lines and fittings to ensure your vehicle stops when it should—no leaks, no worries.
Control Arms: Control arms connect your wheels to your suspension, and when they wear out, your ride suffers. We replace worn or damaged control arms to restore stability, improve steering, and eliminate clunks and vibrations.
Wheel Bearings: A humming noise or shaky steering could mean your wheel bearings are worn. We diagnose and replace them to keep your wheels spinning smoothly and safely.
Brakes: From pads and rotors to calipers and fluid, we handle every aspect of your braking system. Whether it’s a squeal, a grind, or a soft pedal, we’ll make sure your brakes are responsive and reliable.
Front End and Chassis Work: Your vehicle’s front end and chassis are critical to steering, suspension, and overall safety. We offer comprehensive inspections and repairs to keep everything tight, aligned, and road-ready.
ABS Repairs: Your Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to prevent skidding and maintain control during sudden stops. If your ABS light is on or the system isn’t responding, we’ll diagnose and repair it to restore full braking performance.
Oil Changes: Regular oil changes are the easiest way to protect your engine and extend its life. We use quality oil and filters to keep your engine running clean and smooth—no shortcuts, just honest service.
Tire Services and Repairs: Whether you need a patch, rotation, balance, or a brand-new set, we’ve got your tires covered. We help you get the most out of your tread and ensure every drive is safe and comfortable.
Ride Control Replacements: Shocks and struts play a big role in how your vehicle handles bumps, turns, and stops. If your ride feels rough or bouncy, we’ll replace your ride control components to bring back that smooth, confident feel.
