Model S and Model X with air suspension ride beautifully until a strut leaks or the compressor tires. The first signs are usually a corner sitting low after parking, the compressor running often, or a suspension warning on the screen. Radman Auto Repair diagnoses and repairs Tesla air suspension in Etobicoke, finding the actual leak before replacing parts.
Quick answer: a car that sits low overnight usually has a leaking air spring or strut. Fix it early: a leak makes the compressor overwork and fail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Model S or Model X sitting low?
A leaking air spring or strut is the most common cause; the car settles after parking. A worn compressor, a leaking valve block or an air line can also cause it.
What does “Suspension system needs service” mean?
The car has found a fault in the air suspension, such as a leak, a compressor running too long or a height sensor reading. The ride height may be locked. Have it diagnosed before the compressor overworks.
Can a leaking air strut damage the compressor?
Yes. A leak makes the compressor run more often and longer than designed, which wears it out. Fixing the leak early protects the compressor.
How do you lift a Tesla with air suspension?
Jack mode is turned on first so the car does not try to level itself, and the car is lifted only at the correct battery-safe lift points.
Do you replace the whole strut or just the air spring?
It depends on the model and the failure. We confirm which part is leaking and quote the repair for your car.
Does servicing my Tesla at an independent shop void the warranty?
No. Choosing an independent shop for service and repairs does not void your Tesla vehicle warranty. Keep your invoices; we document the parts and work on every job.
