What's included in a front shock absorber replacement for BMW 3 Series?

What's included

No additional work without your approval
We only use manufacturer parts or equivalent
All parts and labour are protected with our Fixter 12-month warranty

When you drive over a bump, the piston inside the cylinder moves up and down against the gas/fluid and the spring, absorbing the shock from the bump. The strut assembly takes a beating over time, especially on bumpy roads. It will eventually start leaking the gas/liquid, leaving you with an unstable or rugged ride. With worn out struts, it is possible that the tires could lose contact with the road and/or the tires will wear out prematurely.

What Fixter customers say about us

Was great!

Was great! Didn't even k ow this was a thing and to be honest was a bit skeptical when I booked but everything went fine. Car picked up, taken to garage and brought back with great communication from James.

Andrew Smith-Beaman, Bristol

Recommended - very convenient.

I couldn’t use my regular garage and found out about Fixter after going to a local garage’s website which took me to the Fixter website. Intrigued, I had a look through and was attracted by the convenience of the service. They pick the car up, do the service and deliver it back - only carrying out additional work with your permission. I gave it a go and all went through really smoothly. Paid a small amount for additional work to be done but no unexpected surprises. Would definitely recommend.

Ross McCleary, Kettering

Excellent service

Excellent service great to have car picked up and returned to home. Really good job

Adrian Fletcher, Reading

Very pleased with the service

Very pleased with the service, kept up to date with progress of work done, a very easy way to have the car serviced, no hassle, collected & delivered same day!

Phyllis Stevens, Ilford

Great with a but

Firstly the good points, very quick to respond, very good idea to get a garage to quickly sort your car instead of having to ring around everywhere. Now, this is a bit of a thing. The price quoted was far too cheap, I knew it and so did the garage, so an extra charge wasn't a suprise to me but it might be to some. Better to be straight up with a quote than for customers to get a nasty suprise later. But overall a great idea that saves a lot of time and effort

Adrian Hood, Pudsey

Pretty good really

All pretty good really. The car was back within 2 hours of it going. My only comment is that access to my car radio had disappeared when I first drove it afterwards. It had a strange icon asking me to plug in some connection which I had never seen before. Eventually I worked out how to delete this and restore the radio connection. Either the guy who collected the car or someone at the garage had obviously attached some temporary device and not reversed it when they finished.
