Shock & Strut Replacement

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 that bring vehicles in

• 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 involves

• 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

Diagnosis before authorization

A request does not guarantee a specific diagnosis, price or completion time. The shop confirms the appointment, explains findings and obtains authorization before repair work moves forward.
