Master AutoTech Millcreek replaces shocks, struts and suspension parts for drivers across Millcreek, Holladay and the east bench. From potholes on Highland Drive to Millcreek Canyon on the weekend, worn suspension costs you control and tire life, and our repairs are backed by a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty*.
Millcreek driving is tough on suspension, from potholes on Highland Drive to canyon roads on the weekend. Our shop is on Highland Drive just south of 3300 South, and we can check your suspension while you run errands nearby.
Every technician at Master AutoTech Millcreek is required to earn ASE certification within 90 days of joining the team.
Signs You Need Shock or Strut Replacement
Suspension wears slowly, so the signs are easy to miss:
- Bouncing more than once after a bump
- Nose-diving when you brake or squatting when you accelerate
- Body roll or sway in turns and crosswinds
- Clunking or rattling over bumps, often ball joints, bushings or sway bar links
- Harsh thuds or “bottoming out” over bumps and dips
- Oil leaking down the side of a shock or strut
- Cupped or uneven tire wear
- Pulling to one side or loose, wandering steering
- Vibration or a harsh, jarring ride
Icy roads, spring potholes, heavy loads and off-road trips all speed up suspension wear. Worn parts also lengthen stopping distances, so don’t put off an inspection if you notice these signs.
Suspension Parts We Service
Your suspension isn’t just about comfort. It keeps your tires planted for steering, braking and stability, whether you’re commuting on Highland Drive, towing a trailer or heading up Millcreek Canyon. Here’s what each part does and what we check:
- ShocksDampen bumps and body movement. Replaced in pairs when they leak, rattle or clunk.
- StrutsA shock and spring in one structural part. Leaks, noise or a bouncy ride mean a new pair.
- SpringsCarry the vehicle’s weight. Sagging or broken coils change ride height and handling.
- Ball jointsThe pivot points your wheels steer on. We check for torn boots and looseness.
- Control armsConnect the wheels to the body and keep them in position. We look for bends and worn bushings.
- Bushings & sway bar linksAbsorb vibration and limit body roll, and a common source of clunks when worn.
How Much Does Shock or Strut Replacement Cost in Millcreek?
Cost depends on whether your vehicle has shocks, struts or both, how many need replacing, and the parts you choose. Struts usually cost more than shocks because they’re a structural part of the suspension, and we replace them in pairs so the car handles evenly. We inspect first and quote the full job before any work begins.
We keep our prices competitive and upfront: you get an estimate and approve it before any work starts.
Need to spread out the cost? Master AutoTech offers several financing options, including the Goodyear Credit Card (6-month special financing on purchases of $250 or more), the Synchrony Car Care credit card, the 1stMILE Mastercard, Snap Finance, Acima, Surepay and RC Willey financing.

How Often Should You Replace Shocks and Struts?
Most shocks and struts last 50,000 to 100,000 miles. Potholes after Utah winters, towing, heavy loads and gravel roads shorten that. We recommend a suspension inspection once a year.
| Condition | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Normal driving | Inspect yearly; replace around 50,000–100,000 miles |
| Towing or heavy loads | Inspect every 6 months |
| After a hard pothole or curb hit | Inspect as soon as possible |
| New tires | Check suspension so worn parts don’t ruin new tread |

What Millcreek Drivers Say
“These folks have cared for my cars for years and I highly recommend them. Their quality is very good and they are very good listeners to work with. I highly recommend.”

“I’ve been coming to Millcreek automotive for a long time. They were always fair honest and has always done a good job. I came in recently and was shocked that they changed ownership. Only to learn that they haven’t really changed. They still have the same employees. They just spruced up the place a bit. Good mechanics are hard to find and would definitely recommend this place”
