Default Searching for Cadillac Mech

I have a 1999 Cadillac Deville, The rear suspension fo some reason is jacked way up. I have taken it to 2 different mech shops in which i paid over a $100 each time and they said it was all fixed however about 2 days after, the rear suspension seemed to raise right back up.... I want a mechanic that can fix it and give me some form of warranty longer than 2 days.
I am throwing in some pics that way yuou can get a idea of what i am talking about. My car is the gold one (body height should give that away)

Derek

how did they claim they fixed it?

and is the front jacked up a little

cause cadillac had a limo option you could get which gave you stiffer and taller springs for the extra weight they would get when you did the stretch

just something I can think of right now

probably not it

Well the front is perfect, The said at first they thought the release valve on the compressor isent releasing the pressure... the valve is located on the compressor for the air ride. I was told it would be around 500-700 for parts labor then they said "Good news we fixed it and it dident even need a part we adjusted the ride height sensor" i was like cool they charged like $130 the first time. it went back up i brought it to them they said there is no warranty on labor jobs..
I bring it to another shop a few weeks ago they said the same thing then went in there removed the sensor "played with it" and put it in it, They claimed it work fine. It rode fine for a few days then the same thing. Same answer so waranty on labor that cost was like $100.

Sounds like the sensor is going bad. Either that or the controller or the wiring is bad.
