What's included in a front shock absorber replacement for Volkswagen Passat?

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

Some garage communication hiccups, great customer service from Fixter

Update: following the review, Fixter reached out and confirmed that the oil was indeed changed. Original review: I booked an oil change at a local garage. The vehicle pick up process was seamless, the driver was there on time, I handed over and confirmed the services to be performed, I have also given the service book for the oil change to be recorded. The driver called me several hours later to confirm the drop off and arrived as agreed. To my surprise, he handed me a new MOT certificate (that was not overdue and I have not ordered) and the service book without any new entries. I contacted customer service requesting the proof of work that I ordered being done (confirmation of the oil change from the garage) and while the customer service agent was very helpful, I have never received it. So I don't know what work (apart from the MOT that I hadn't ordered) was actually done and I will need to do it again, defeating the purpose of the entire undertaking. I am going to ask for a refund either from Fixter or credit card provider.

A great company with great service!

A great company with great service! We used Fixter for an MoT on our van. Everything went really smoothly. They contacted us to let us know when they were going to arrive, collected the van from its parking space and returned it a couple of hours later with an MoT. Overall, very pleased! It saved all the hassle of taking time off work to take the van to a garage ourselves.
