Shocks & Struts in Sun Valley
A bouncy, floaty or noisy ride is more than uncomfortable — worn suspension makes braking longer and eats tires. We will get it riding right again.
Shocks & Struts you can trust
Shocks and struts keep your tires planted on the road. When they wear out, the car bounces after bumps, dips when you brake, and leans in turns. We inspect your suspension and replace worn shocks, struts and related parts so the car handles the way it should.
Because worn suspension causes uneven tire wear, it pays to check it when you buy new tires — protect the investment.

FAQ
Shocks & Struts questions
How long do shocks and struts last?
It varies with driving and roads, but many last somewhere around 50,000 to 100,000 miles. If your car bounces or dips noticeably, it is time for a check.
Should I replace them in pairs?
Yes — shocks and struts are normally replaced in pairs per axle so both sides handle the same.
Will new struts help my tires last longer?
Yes. Worn suspension causes cupping and uneven wear, so fixing it protects your tires.
