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

Generally very positive: I was slightly annoyed that they let me…

I was slightly annoyed that they let me book an appointment for 2 days time, then immediately cancelled and offered a booking in 3 weeks. However, this was over the Xmas period and better than other local garages. One the actually day I was really happy with their communication and customer service. I will definitely be using again and recommending. I loved the clear pricing structure

Rob Gower, Dunstable

Great experience

Great experience. Needed an urgent servicing and MOT. Team polite and on time. Got my car back in one day. Competitive price. Will book again.

sandra BURGGRAF, London

Communication was very good

Communication was very good. However, booking the garage and then cancelling then rebooking a week later was less good.

David Duffy, Bristol

Front break pads/discs c/w sensors + rear break pads replacement

All went well. -1 star due to inaccurate quote and extra £60 charge for sensors.

Lukasz Okuniewicz, Leighton Buzzard

Superb and Simple Service

After struggling to find a workshop that could provide me with a courtesy car, I discovered Fixter. No need for a courtesy car as my vehicle was collected and returned the same day with all the work completed. I was sceptical at first but after reading the many positive reviews, I decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed as the work was completed by a specialist mechanic and it was actually 90.00 cheaper than the local Nissan dealership. Cannot fault the services provided by Fixter.

Gary Sibley, Stowmarket

Stress free servicing

Amazing customer service and fantastic service. Collection and delivery of my car was so convenient. Highly recommended. No stress, no drama, always kept updated. A* service as always
