Why is my car so bouncy?

By on March 14, 2018 in Automotive Maintenance

Does your car have a lot of bounce and feel unstable when you drive?  Does it take you longer to stop than it used to?  Would you like to have better control and handling? Would you like your tires to last longer? If you answered yes to any of these questions then it may be time to get your shocks and struts checked.  We recommend replacing them every 75,000 miles.  It is amazing the difference in your vehicle’s handling when you put new shocks and struts on.  I know this from my own experience, I couldn’t believe the difference, it was like driving a new car.  Shocks and struts wear out slowly over time, so you really don’t notice anything until they are really bad.  Give us a call or book online, and we will get your vehicle and get it checked out.

When should I replace my shocks and struts?

When is it time to replace my shocks and struts?  This is a great question…here at Longs we recommend replacing them every 75,000 miles.  I had them replaced on my car not to long ago, and it was amazing, it felt like I was driving a brand new car.  You don’t notice that they are wearing out, because it happens slowly over time.  Did you know that new shocks/struts reduces your braking distance?  They also help in the stability of your vehicle.  So if you haven’t had them replaced and your vehicle has over 75,000 miles, now is a great time to have them replaced.  Why?  Because starting October 1st, it’s Shocktober!!  Which means you buy 3 and get one for free!  So give us a call, 425-481-1739, and we will get you in as soon as possible, and you will feel what it’s like to drive a new car again!
