What's included in a front shock absorber replacement for Citroen DS3?

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

Seamless experience

Seamless experience. Jim is the star of the show. He is such a pleasure to talk to and trustworthy. Carefully picked up and delivered the car. You receive texts to let you know what stage of the process u Your car is in and the message you when the MOT is complete and delivery time. The only issue I had was that the pick up and delivery time was earlier than booked. Which could be an issue if you are out somewhere otherwise, Perfect

Lurene Cleghorn, London

Support Team - Excellent

Support team did an excellent job with helping with a problem that arose during service. Fantastic communication - no waiting multiple days for a response (usually heard back within 30 minutes).

Ben Sallabank, Sale

Excellent service

Michael Smith , Southampton

I was very happy with the service

I was very happy with the service, having someone pick up and rerun my car for its MOT was very handy. They need to launch an app, that’s my only suggestion.

Tracy Lawson, London

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. Will definitely use again

Sandra Norris, Wirral

Good value and fairly straightforward

Communications from the garage were polite and straightforward. I’d originally requested the pickup from 9.30 to 11, but when the garage phoned to confirm, they initially wanted it at 8.30. However, we negotiated after 9pm, but he turned up a bit after 9.30 anyway. They sent a text message to say my car had failed due to needing a front spring replaced – if I want them to go ahead with their quote, click here. I did and paid on line, something I am normally very cagey about doing. With some other garages for an MOT / Service, you get a visual or video of the problem, but nothing on this occasion. How do I know the part really needed replacing? I have to take their word. The main attraction of Fixter was the pickup and return service and a good price. I was supposed to be informed as to which garage would be carrying out the work, but the update of the booking confirmation didn’t include that. The implication was that someone from Fixter would be doing the driving for the pickup and return, but it was someone from the garage. So will I use them next year? I’m not sure.
