Service at our shop: 1325 Wickham Avenue, Mattituck, NY 11952

About this service

Shocks and struts do more than comfort: they keep tires planted for braking and steering. Worn units show up as float, nose-dive, bounce and cupped tire wear—symptoms that build so gradually drivers mistake them for normal aging.

Signs to have checked

The vehicle bounces or floats over undulating roads
Longer stopping distances or nose-dive under braking
Cupped or scalloped tire wear patterns
Knocking or clunking over sharp bumps

What the visit can involve

Inspection of shocks or struts and related mounts, springs and wear symptoms
A replacement recommendation based on condition and the vehicle’s suspension design
Discussion of any alignment requirements associated with the proposed work

Planning your visit from Shelter Island

Shelter Island, Shelter Island Heights and Dering Harbor drivers share this guide. North Ferry connects the island with Greenport on the North Fork; the vehicle service itself takes place farther west at the Mattituck shop.

Call or send a request to discuss availability and tell us about any ferry-related timing constraints before arranging the visit.

This page covers both island postal communities: Shelter Island (11964) and Shelter Island Heights (11965). Dering Harbor village uses the Heights mailing address; island customers all use the same Mattituck shop.
Check the ferry operator's current schedules and allow for crossing conditions. Contact the shop separately to arrange vehicle service and discuss arrival details.

Directions to the Mattituck shop

If your route includes a ferry, check crossing information directly with North Ferry and South Ferry. Arrange the service visit separately with the shop.

Common questions

Does every bump noise mean the struts are worn?

No. Mounts, links, bushings and other parts can produce similar noises. The shop checks the affected area and explains which findings support a replacement rather than treating a noise alone as proof.

Will I need an alignment after replacement?

It depends on the suspension layout and the parts disturbed. Strut or steering work can affect alignment, while some shock replacements do not. The shop confirms the requirement for your vehicle.
