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.

I have used Cardoc for a number of years. They are professional, friendly and honest in their opinion of what is urgent and what is recommended. They will always put the customer first and have reasonable prices. I wouldn't go anywhere else for services and repairs.

On this occasion it was for the MOT. Easy to book and very accommodating in regards to timing that suited my needs. As the garage services the car there was no unexpected surprises, just a couple of tyres to replace which was done immediately. A good friendly service and we were back on the road.
