My car is bouncing. Why?

If you've got a little to much bounce in your car it is most likely due to your shocks and struts being worn and they are ready for replacement. They wear very slowly so over the course of 75,000 miles you really don't notice that the ride has changed until you get new shocks and struts installed. 



Shocks and struts don't just affect your ride quality they also affect your braking and how your car feels when it goes around a corner. If you think it may be time to have your shocks and/or struts give us a call and we will get them checked out for you. 


Happy Adventures,
