Our Suspension Repair Experts Will Keep Your Vehicle in Great Shape
Well-Maintained Shocks, and Struts Are Essential
My car is driving fine, so why must I replace my struts and shocks?
This is a question many mechanics get asked, along with the suspension repair specialists at West Automotive Group in San Diego County, California. Many motorists believe that if their vehicles drive smoothly, they don’t need to replace or repair their shocks and struts. But failing to do so can spell trouble down the line.
Why? While most manufacturers recommend getting your shocks and struts closely inspected—and even replaced—at the 50,000-mile marker, yours could wear out sooner rather than later. Worn-out shocks and struts won’t efficiently absorb the bumps and potholes your car drives over, allowing that energy and shock to spread throughout your entire vehicle. This can lead to further damage, including issues with your wheel hubs, ball joints, and other essential components.
Even if your car is driving fine, having our auto repair mechanics closely inspect and repair your shocks and struts is essential.
