Potholes can cause serious damage to your car’s: tires, wheels,
steering and suspension, and alignment. Potholes occur when water
permeates the pavement, usually through a crack, and softens the soil
beneath it, creating a depression in the surface of the street. Many
potholes appear during winter and spring months because of freeze-thaw
cycles, which accelerate the process. Potholes can also be prevalent in
areas with excessive rainfall and flooding.
If you’ve hit a pothole, it can be difficult to know if your vehicle
has been damaged in the process. Have a professional technician check
out the car and make the necessary repairs to ensure safety and
reliability.
