National Auto Care Month

April is National Auto Care Month, and it’s the perfect time to turn our focus to a crucial aspect of your vehicle that often goes unnoticed until there’s an issue: the suspension system, specifically shocks and struts. Why? Because they are the unsung heroes that enhance the handling, stopping power, and overall comfort of your ride. Let’s dive into why NAPA AutoCare Centers in New Mexico are your go-to experts for all things suspension-related.

New Mexico Roads Can Be Rough

Imagine cruising down the scenic roads of New Mexico, the comfort of your ride seamlessly blending with the landscape. But what happens when that ride starts to feel a bit off? Maybe your vehicle pulls to one side, or you notice uneven tire wear. These are tell-tale signs that your shocks and struts might be calling out for attention. At NAPA AutoCare Centers, we recommend an inspection of these components around every 50,000 to 60,000 miles to ensure the safety and longevity of your vehicle.

Shocks and Struts

But it doesn’t stop at shocks and struts. The suspension system is a complex web of components that includes car axles and CV joints, which can suffer from road debris, curbs, and those dreaded potholes. Ever heard a clicking noise when turning? That could be a sign of a CV joint crying for help due to lost grease from a damaged boot.

ASE Certified Technicians

Now, you might wonder, “What exactly should I expect when I bring my vehicle in for shock and strut service?” First off, know that driving with compromised struts or shocks can lead to further damage across your suspension and chassis due to increased motion range. That’s why catching issues early is key. At NAPA AutoCare Centers, our ASE-certified technicians don’t just perform repairs; they provide peace of mind. They’re equipped with industry-leading diagnostic tools and install superior NAPA parts and components to ensure your vehicle leaves the shop ready for the road ahead.

Nationwide Peace of Mind Warranty

When we install new shocks or struts, expect a smoother ride with improved control and stability. And let’s not forget the free nationwide NAPA AutoCare 24-Month/24,000-Mile Peace of Mind Warranty, covering parts and labor on qualifying repairs and services across NAPA Auto Cares across the country. It’s our way of saying we’ve got your back, no matter where the road takes you.
