Service Overview
Shocks control how your suspension moves — worn ones let the vehicle float, nosedive and wander. Replacement restores the planted, controlled ride the chassis was designed for.
The job involves both shocks on an axle (always replaced in pairs), mount and bushing inspection, and a road test.
Signs You Need This Service
- Bouncing that continues after a bump
- Nosedive under braking

Every 50,000–100,000 miles depending on roads and loads.
Price & Time
No payment is collected with the initial request. After reviewing the vehicle, repair scope, parts, location, and access requirements, we will send a written quote with any required deposit before confirming the appointment.
Final price may vary by distance, vehicle, service details, after-hours requests, priority availability, or service area minimums.
How location affects pricing
Your quote is based on the repair itself. Because we are a mobile service, final pricing may also depend on your distance from our service area, appointment time, urgency, vehicle details, and repair conditions.

Minimum service totals are not added on top of larger services — they only apply when a quoted service is below the minimum for your location. Distance fees typically begin outside our standard 15-mile service area.
Parts, fluids, distance, timing, and vehicle details are reviewed before we confirm your written quote.
