Shocks, struts, ball joints, control arms, sway bar links. Ontario roads are hard on all of them. We put it on the hoist, show you what's actually worn, and quote before we start.
Quoted before we touch anything
Suspension pricing swings a lot by vehicle and by which parts are actually worn. We diagnose first, you approve a firm number before work starts.

Something we didn't cover? Call (343) 459-3790 and ask.
Is it safe to drive on worn suspension?
Depends what's worn. A failing ball joint is a now problem; a tired shock is a soon problem. We tell you which one you have.
Do shocks and struts come in pairs?
Usually yes, per axle, so the car stays balanced. If yours is an exception, we say so.
Why are my tires wearing unevenly?
Often worn suspension parts changing the geometry. Fix the cause first or the new tires wear the same way.
How long does the work take?
Most jobs are same-day once you approve the quote. We confirm timing when we book you in.
