What are shock absorbers?
They are responsible for your vehicle’s smooth drive over bumpy or uneven roads and are an essential part of your suspension system.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning shock absorber
If your car is providing uncomfortable ride quality and is bouncing excessively, it could be that your shock absorbers aren’t operating correctly. Also, any puddles of oil-like fluid on the road around your wheels could be escaping from leaking shock absorbers.

Here’s what our customers have to say…
- Gina George-Taylorfrom London
You guys are so good that I had to pinch myself to make it’s not a dream: your communication before the pick up and all through till my car was delivered back was fantastic. Am actually telling everybody I know about you . What else can I say but THANKS 👌🏿👌🏿👍🏿👍🏿
- Customerfrom Manchester
Excellent service. Pick up/Drop off person was polite and efficient, turnaround time for MOT + Major Service was 4 hours, price was very affordable and reasonable. All in all, I wouldnt go back to Halfords/Kwikfit, will be sure to use Fixter again.
- Customerfrom Dukinfield
I was a bit worried about using this service because I hadn't use them before. But it is really good because I was in work and would have found it really hard to get away but fixter picked my car up and dropped it off. Highly recommend them.
- Davidfrom Bromley
Excellent service would definitely use again.
- SCfrom Manchester
Everything about this was first class.
