FAQs
How long do shocks and struts last?
On average, shocks and struts last between 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and road conditions.
Can I replace just one shock or strut?
We recommend replacing them in pairs (front or rear) for balanced handling and ride quality.
Do I need an alignment after suspension repairs?
Often, yes. Replacing certain components like control arms or tie rods can affect alignment. We’ll let you know if an alignment is required.
Is a suspension inspection part of routine maintenance?
It should be. We inspect major suspension components during regular maintenance visits and oil changes.

Suspension components take a lot of abuse. That’s why we only install trusted, OEM-grade or better components designed to withstand real-world driving conditions. Our technicians torque every bolt to spec and verify all repairs through test driving and post-repair inspections.
