Shock and Strut Repairs in Barre - Montpelier Vermont

Keep Your Car Safe, and In Control with Central Vermont Auto Mart

Did you know clunks, rattles, or squeaking noises from under your vehicle could signal serious suspension problems? Vermont roads take a beating during the winter months-leaving potholes, rough shoulders, and rutted backroads that punish your vehicle's suspension system.

At Central Vermont Auto Mart in Montpelier, our service team is here to help you stay safe and comfortable. Whether it's a simple shock and strut replacement or a full suspension service, we'll diagnose the issue and get you back on the road-without breaking the bank.

🚗 Why Suspension Issues Deserve Immediate Attention

Your suspension system does more than just smooth out bumps-it helps keep your tires in contact with the road, ensuring control when turning, braking, or swerving. Worn shocks, struts, or bushings can reduce your stopping power, throw off your steering, and even lead to accidents in severe cases.

Common dangers of suspension problems:

  • Reduced handling and cornering control
  • Uneven tire wear (leading to faster replacements)
  • Nose-diving or swaying when braking
  • Increased stopping distance
  • Potential loss of control on wet or uneven roads

🔍 Symptoms of a Suspension Problem

Have you noticed any of these signs? If you have, it's time for a suspension inspection:

  • Clunking or rattling noises when hitting bumps
  • Excessive bouncing or swaying
  • Steering feels loose or vehicle pulls to one side
  • Vehicle nose-dives when braking
  • Leaking fluid near your tires or struts
  • Uneven or premature tire wear
Don't wait for it to get worse-catching suspension issues early can prevent further damage and expensive repairs.

🔧 What's Included in Our Suspension Service

Our team inspects all key components of your suspension system, including:

  1. Shocks and struts - These control your ride comfort and help your tires stay grounded.
  2. Control arms and ball joints - Allow smooth up-and-down motion while keeping your wheels in alignment.
  3. Sway bar links and bushings - Keep your vehicle stable and reduce body roll in turns.
  4. Springs - Support your vehicle's weight and absorb the shock of road impact.
