Tesla air suspension repair in Surrey
If your Tesla drops overnight or sits lower on one side, the air suspension probably has a leak. We find the source, and where the strut allows, refurbish it instead of replacing it.

Signs of an air suspension fault
- the car drops overnight, or after standing for a while
- one corner sits lower than the others
- an air suspension warning on the screen
- the compressor running more often or for longer than usual
- the car sitting fully on its bump stops
Do not leave a leak
A leaking air strut makes the compressor work harder to keep the car level. Left long enough, it can wear out the compressor and other parts, turning a fairly straightforward repair into a more expensive one.
Diagnosis first
A dropped car does not always mean a failed strut, valve block or compressor. One Model X arrived fully dropped, after other garages, including Tesla, had quoted a new valve block and compressor. Our diagnosis found a wiring loom rubbed through against a coolant hose, and the car was back on the road in a few hours.
Air strut refurbishment
Where the condition of the strut allows, we refurbish it: we replace the failed sealing components and restore its ability to hold pressure. This can be a much more cost-effective alternative to a complete new unit, and it keeps the original Tesla strut on the car.
- Model X Raven: the shock absorber inside a heavily leaking strut was healthy, so we refurbished the original strut instead of fitting a new or aftermarket one.
- Front air struts: a leaking front strut is one of the most common faults on the Model X and Model S. Here is how we recondition them.
- Rear air struts: we combine a rear strut refurbishment with a full suspension check, as worn bushes and links often show up at the same time.
When you get in touch, tell us your model and year, and which corner is affected.
