Shocks Service

Why check your shocks?

Brisbane shock absorber service

Shock absorbers or ‘shocks’ assist in controlling the movement of your car’s suspension and springs. They play an vital role in your vehicle’s ability to accelerate, manoeuvre and stop. They do this by keeping your tyres in contact with the road at all times. Any time that a tyre’s contact with the ground is broken or reduced, your ability to drive, steer and brake is seriously compromised.

At 50kmh, a single worn shock absorber can add up to 2 metres to your stopping distance, those 2 metres could be vital when it comes to stopping for a pedestrian crossing or a child that runs onto the road. Call into Newmarket Car Care, Kelvin Grove mechanic to make sure your shocks are in good shape.

Worn shock absorbers are also a major contributor to tyre wear, so as well as safety and control you’ll also get better value and longer life from your tyres.

Monroe shocks (a leading manufacturer of shock absorbers) and other leading automotive experts recommend that you have a qualified mechanic, such as Newmarket Car Care, north Brisbane mechanic, check your shock absorbers for signs of wear every 20,000 km.

What Our Valued Clients Say

My local mechanic was away for Christmas and I needed my car fixed asap. So I decided to go to these guys. Best choice I’ve ever made. I thought my local was decent and well priced until these guys helped me realise ive been ripped off by my local this whole time. If you’re looking for truly honest mechanics, give these guys a go. I wont be going back to my local mechanic ever again!.
