Question Price of shocks for Superb?

Evening all,

I hope that I find you all well? I've had a nose through the forum, but couldn't find the answer, so I'm hoping that you can help.

My Superb has now done 72000+ miles and I strongly suspect that the front shock absorbers have worn out as the ride isn't as good as it was and the wheels feel like they're rattling around under breaking and over bumpy roads.

So, I plan to head off to ATS Euromaster tomorrow to get them sorted, but was after an idea of a) how much I should expect to pay, (I'm thinking £175ish) and b) whether another garage or KwikFit would be a better idea than ATS Euromaster?

Many thanks, Chaos

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I would go somewhere that at least makes an attempt to train their staff - avoid Kwik Fit and any national chain of tyre and exhaust outlets. (and i used to work for Kwik Fit in a previous life!)

Please, IMHO, stay away from ATS or Kwikfit; your better off using you local Skoda dealer.

If you do want a national chain national autocentres are ok.
