Shocks and struts are important parts of your car’s suspension system. They support the springs inside your suspension and provide a smooth ride, ensuring your vehicle operates safely. Depending on the vehicle there could be different work needed. Mavis wants to make sure you have the right information for your vehicle, so we inspect the vehicle for free and then come up with a maintenance plan.

After a free vehicle inspection, depending on your vehicle and the service needed, the amount of labor will vary. If you are experiencing any issues with your car, bring it in to a Mavis store today.

Technicians identify problems with struts through detailed inspections and tests. They start by lifting the vehicle to perform a visual inspection, looking for fluid leaks on the struts or shocks and checking for uneven tire wear. A bounce test is conducted by pressing down on each corner of the vehicle to observe how quickly it returns to its normal position, noting any excessive bouncing. Additionally, they listen for unusual noises and evaluate handling performance to detect issues.
