Shocks and Struts Service & Repair

When it comes to your vehicle’s suspension system, shocks and struts are significant in maintaining safety, comfort, and performance. When you need work done on your vehicle’s shocks and struts, turn to the master mechanics at BG Automotive. We make sure your car handles properly in all driving conditions.

Shocks and struts are components of your vehicle's suspension system, but they perform slightly different roles–shock absorbers reduce the impact of bumps and vibrations from the road; whereas, struts are parts that provide structural support for your suspension system and help maintain wheel alignment. Both are essential for controlling the motion of your vehicle.
