Boo-Haha! It’s SHOCKTOBER!

Have you had your shocks inspected lately? It’s a fact: many manufacturers recommend replacements approximately every 50,000 miles. You thought they would last longer? Me too, but think again. I often see customers who have shock absorbers that are have worn or busted seals which causes oil leaks and they don’t even know it. You would most likely notice damaged shock absorbers (aka dampeners) if you go over railroad tracks, post holes, or on turns for example. Despite what the manufactures recommend, shock replacements can vary by vehicle and how and where you drive. So, it’s best to have routine maintenance checkup beyond just getting an oil change.

Be safe this holiday season, come on in for an overall inspection for:

• Leaks
• Broken seals
• Dented or damaged shock absorbsers/dampeners
• Vehicle sways or leans on turns or when lane changing
• Excessive vehicle bounce
• Broken, damaged, corroded or worn mounts or bushings

As we gear up for the holidays, from September 1st – October 31st you’ll have the opportunity to save when you take advantage of the Shocktober special.  Purchase a combination of four (4) qualifying Monroe or Rancho products and get a Visa prepaid card by mail. All submissions must be postmarked by Nov. 30. Visit Monoe.com for the details.

You’ll be surprised of the savings this October! Whether you need shocks now or buy them ahead of time, save money now instead of paying more later.
