Questions about suspension repair.

Is it safe to drive with bad shocks or struts?
Worn shocks and struts significantly increase stopping distance and reduce vehicle control, especially in emergency situations. We recommend addressing suspension issues promptly for your safety.
How long does suspension repair take?
Shock or strut replacement takes 2 to 3 hours per axle. More complex repairs like control arms or subframe work can take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline when you come in.

Yes. We always recommend a wheel alignment after suspension repairs, as worn components affect alignment angles. Proper alignment protects your new parts and prevents premature tire wear.
