HOW IT WORKS
- 1
Tell us what you’ve noticed
Book online or call, and tell us what you have noticed: a knock over bumps, the car wallowing, pulling, or uneven tyre wear.
- 2
On the ramp and on the road
We check the shock absorbers for leaks and wear, the springs for breaks, and the bushes, drop links, ball joints, track rod ends and top mounts for play. Then a road test to match the noise to the part.

A graded list
What needs doing now, what can wait, and what is fine. Each item is priced before anything is done.
- 4
The work
The parts are fitted and the car is road tested. We recommend an alignment afterwards, priced separately. You pay on the day, by card or cash.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Free suspension inspection, on the ramp and on the road

- Shock absorbers, springs, bushes, links and mounts supplied and fitted
- Road test after the work
THE BENEFITS OF SUSPENSION
Ride & handling
Worn dampers lengthen stopping distances and make the car unsettled. New ones transform how it drives.
Alignment checked afterwards
Suspension work can alter your geometry, so we recommend an alignment on our computerised rig afterwards. Alignment is priced separately.
Now, soon or later
We grade every finding so you can plan the spend rather than face a surprise bill.
SIGNS YOUR VEHICLE NEEDS SUSPENSION

- Knocking or clunking over bumps
