Suspension And Shock Absorbers
At Cardoc the suspension system is fully checked over as part of our routine Servicing service to ensure your safe and comfortable as possible for the upcoming 6-12 months. This includes checks on the shock absorbers. Damaged and worn shock absorbers can reduce braking efficiency, cause poor cornering experiences and tyre wear.
Look out for the following symptoms which may be linked to defective components linked to the suspension system:
- When pulling away from standstill a knocking noise may occur from the front of the vehicle.
- When travelling across uneven surfaces, e.g. speed humps or bumpy roads, a knocking noise may be heard from either end of the vehicle. The ride of the vehicle may be an uncomfortable one.
- On straight roads, e.g. a motorway, the vehicle drifts or pulls towards the defective side.
If you come across any of the above get in touch for a free suspension inspection. All work comes with a free 1 year / 12k miles parts and labour guarantee, undertaken by Bosch Accredited Technicians.

My husband and myself have been using Cardoc since we moved into the area over 20 years. The service level and the quality of their work has been outstanding from the word go. When I had a breakdown living in a new area with a small baby in my arms and not knowing what to do, they came to my rescue. The only time I did not use them was when I bought a new car and had to use the car dealership for services to keep my warranty and I could not wait to return to Cardoc. They are very professional and always on hand to advise me on alternative solutions, they are local and on time and keeps us informed on what needs servicing.

Cardoc is a great garage and the work is always carried out to a high standard. Everyone at cardoc is always friendly and helpful. Paul in particular has great customer service and always takes the time to explain the diagnostics with no pressure to make decisions. I recommend taking your car here next time you are looking for a garage!
