Shocks & Struts in Downtown Ogden, UT

Master AutoTech Downtown Ogden replaces shocks, struts and suspension parts for drivers across downtown Ogden and the north end. From potholes on Washington Boulevard to Ogden 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*.

Ogden driving is tough on suspension, from downtown potholes to canyon roads on the weekend. Our shop is on Washington Boulevard at 20th Street, and we can check your suspension while you run errands downtown.

Every technician at Master AutoTech Downtown Ogden is required to earn ASE certification within 90 days of joining the team.

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

Your suspension isn’t just about comfort. It keeps your tires planted for steering, braking and stability, whether you’re commuting on Washington Boulevard, towing a trailer or heading up Ogden 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 hold alignment. We look for bends and worn bushings.
• Bushings & sway bar linksAbsorb vibration and limit body roll, and a common source of clunks when worn.

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. An alignment is usually needed after strut replacement. We inspect first and quote the full job, alignment included, 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.

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, ideally with your alignment.
