Struts / Shocks
Struts and shock absorbers keep your ride smooth and your tires planted on the road. When they wear out, you'll feel extra bouncing, nose-diving when you brake, or uneven tire wear. Our technicians inspect and replace worn struts and shocks to restore comfortable, controlled handling.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my struts or shocks are worn out?
Common signs include a bouncy or rough ride, the front of the car dipping when you brake, fluid leaking from the strut, and uneven or cupped tire wear. If you notice any of these, it's a good idea to have them inspected.
Should I replace struts and shocks in pairs?
Yes, we recommend replacing them in pairs (both front or both rear) so your suspension stays balanced and your vehicle handles evenly on both sides.
How long do struts and shocks usually last?
On average they last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, but rough roads, heavy loads, and driving style can shorten that. A periodic inspection helps catch wear early.
