If you're in Catawba and your car needs shocks & struts, you don't have to get it to a shop. We're a mobile mechanic based in Statesville, about 18 minutes out, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the Catawba River crossing every week.
Why Catawba drivers book mobile shocks & struts
The town of Catawba is just across the river from Iredell on US-70, well inside our closest service ring. For shocks & struts, that means no tow, no ride-share to a shop, and no day off work — we do the job on site and you get your keys back the same visit.
What's included
Worn shocks and struts don't just make the ride bouncy — they add stopping distance and wear your tires unevenly. If the car nose-dives under braking, keeps bouncing after a bump, or you see oil on the strut body, it's time. We replace them in pairs with quick-strut assemblies where available, which means no spring compressor risk and a fresh mount and bearing.
- Bounce test and inspect for leaks, bushings, and mount wear
- Replace shocks or complete strut assemblies in pairs
- Inspect sway bar links and control arm bushings while there
- Torque to spec with the suspension loaded
- Recommend an alignment after strut replacement
Signs it's time
- Bouncing after bumps
- Nose-dive when braking
- Clunking over rough roads
- Oil leaking on the shock or strut
- Cupped or scalloped tire wear
- More than 80,000 miles on the originals
Scheduling in Catawba
We schedule Catawba appointments (ZIP code 28609) in half-day windows and text you when we're on the way. Shocks and quick-struts are driveway work. After front struts you'll need an alignment at a shop, which we'll tell you up front.
