"The DST Difference: Making it easy to find suspension parts that fit."
Diverse Suspension Technologies
"I dont know if there's a way that we can glorify God through selling Suspension Parts,
but we're sure gonna try."
Graham and Tiffany Slaughter
Owners @ Suspension.com
In early 2003 our founder was a young broke college graduate looking for a bushing to repair the control arm on his Honda del Sol. He had such a difficult time finding one for his car that he made a website where people could find and buy aftermarket suspension parts for their vehicles that would fit. Thus, DST (Del Sol Tuning) was born in a garage in Burleson, Texas and today Suspension.com ships parts all over the world and provides top notch service for our customers - that is the DST Difference.
Through all of this the desire to treat people in a Christ-like manner has been the guiding star, and if you catch us doing anything less please call us out on it. We believe God has blessed our business over the years and we want to treat people in a way that reflects our appreciation. In the end our interactions with people are more important than the parts we sell, so we want to make 'em good.
The DST Difference
A Better Way to Shop for Suspension Parts
Mechanic trained
We're just regular folks (except Edwin) so we can relate to people who have never rebuilt their front suspension, but we do our homework. Our resident ASE certified mechanic, Edwin, has been in the shop and the classroom teaching mechanics since 1979 and he takes us to school every Friday to explain all things suspension.
We KNOW the brands
We have selected the brands we sell because we have found them to be exceptional and we have had a good relationship with most of them for decades. We talk with the tech gurus at these brands every day and we let them know what our customers are saying about their parts.
We have our own warehouse
We keep a lot of stock on-hand so we can make SURE that when we say a part will be shipped today often times WE are the ones boxing it up. If our customers have a specific question about a part that our website might not answer our customer service reps can pull it from our warehouse and look at it that day.
