Shocks/Struts Repair in Norfolk / Virginia Beach, VA

MAP (Motorist Assurance Program) guidelines recommend replacing Original Equipment shocks and struts after 50,000 miles because independent testing has shown a measurable drop in performance by that time. There is no recommendation on the replacement interval for non-OEM shocks or struts as there isn’t sufficient test data yet.

You won’t notice anything because shocks and struts wear gradually, not catastrophically and you get used to the minute changes in handling and braking performance over time. If you drove your car and another one just like it with new shocks and struts back to back you would probably notice the difference.

On the other hand, you may notice obvious problems with your car’s shocks or struts such as swaying, uneven bouncing, tires making contact with the body of your wheel-well and more.  If this is the case, you definitely are in need of some shocks and strut repairs for your vehicle.  Accurate Tune Plus is the place to call!
