Worn struts compromise your vehicle's handling, braking distance, and ride comfort. Scott's Auto & Clutch provides strut diagnosis and replacement for all makes and models. If your car bounces excessively, nose-dives under braking, or the ride has gotten noticeably harsher, bring it in for an inspection.
Every repair starts with a thorough diagnosis. We identify exactly what your vehicle needs, walk you through our findings, and get your approval before any work begins. Depending on what we find, the types of work we commonly perform include:
Our experienced mechanics take a thorough approach to every repair.
Worn struts increase stopping distance and reduce handling precision—both safety concerns we take seriously.
We inspect related suspension components alongside the struts, so you have a complete picture of your vehicle's suspension health.
Strut replacement changes suspension geometry. We always recommend alignment after strut work to protect your tires.
Cars, trucks, and SUVs—we service all makes and models.
From the moment you call to the moment you drive away, we keep you informed every step of the way.

The vehicle bounces two or three times after a bump instead of settling—a sign struts have lost their damping ability.
See symptom details →The front end pitches dramatically forward under braking, reducing control and extending stopping distance.
See symptom details →Worn struts allow tires to bounce and skip, creating cupping or scalloping patterns in the tread.
See symptom details →Every pothole and expansion joint is felt as a sharp jolt rather than a dampened thud.

Signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-diving when braking, body roll in corners, uneven tire wear, and clunking noises over rough pavement. If your vehicle has over 80,000 miles, struts are worth inspecting even without obvious symptoms.
Yes, always. Replacing struts changes the suspension geometry. We include an alignment check with every strut replacement job to ensure proper tire wear and predictable handling.
Struts are a structural part of the suspension—they support the vehicle weight and include the coil spring. Shocks only dampen movement and are not structural. Most modern cars use struts in front and either struts or shocks in the rear.
