What's included in a front shock absorber replacement for Subaru Forester?

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

Reliable and friendly

Second time I have used fixter. I am very impressed. I used a well known company before which cost double and left my car in a dangerous state. I would only use fixter in the future and have told all my friends to use them.

Nick Grindrod, Rochdale

Good, will use a 3rd time

This is the second year in a row I have used this service. There was a last minute change on their side on pick up time, which affected me being late for work. other than that it was efficient and the drivers were great.

Harriet Lansdown, London

Second time booking with fixter

Second time booking with fixter, they actually sent me an email reminder about when my mot was due which was helpful. I also had a credit from my last booking with them though it wasn’t easy to tell whether it applied or not but other than that they booked me with a lovely garage who picked up and returned the car from my home. Car passed the MOT and everything went smoothly.
