How often should shock absorbers be changed?

Generally between 60,000 and 100,000 km, but it depends on usage and road conditions. On roads with potholes and poor surfaces, they wear out sooner. The important thing is to have them checked regularly at our Dénia garage and replace them when they show signs of wear.

Do all 4 shock absorbers need changing at once?

Not always. It’s best to change by axle (both fronts or both rears together) to maintain balance. If only one is bad, it can be changed alone, but at our Dénia garage we recommend changing the pair.

What is wheel alignment and why is it important?

Alignment adjusts the wheel angles to the manufacturer’s specifications. If not properly aligned, tyres wear unevenly, the steering pulls to one side and fuel consumption increases. In Dénia we recommend having it done every 20,000 km or if you notice any symptoms.

How much does shock absorber replacement cost in Dénia?

The price varies depending on the make, model and type of shock absorber. We work with premium brands like Bilstein, Monroe, Koni and Sachs. We provide a fixed, no-obligation quote at our Dénia garage.

What shock absorber brands do you use?

We work with premium brands like Bilstein, Monroe, Koni and Sachs. All come with warranty. The price varies by brand and your car model. We give you options to choose from at our Dénia garage.

Does wheel alignment include wheel balancing?

They are different but complementary services. Alignment adjusts wheel angles, balancing distributes the weight of the wheel and tyre assembly. At our Dénia garage we recommend doing both together to optimise wear and comfort.
