Shocks Replacement Dublin – Smooth Out the Ride with Suspension Repairs in Tallaght
If your car is bouncing, swaying, or just doesn’t feel stable anymore – it could be down to worn-out shock absorbers. At Michael and Sons Auto Service, we offer full shocks replacement and suspension repairs in Dublin, helping you get back that smooth, safe, and controlled drive.
We’re based in Tallaght, and we’ve been helping local drivers across South Dublin keep their cars handling the way they should for over 15 years.
What Do Shock Absorbers Do?
Shock absorbers (or “shocks”) are a key part of your suspension system. They don’t just keep the ride comfortable – they keep your tyres in contact with the road. When they start to fail, it affects:
- Steering response
- Braking distance
- Tyre wear
- Vehicle stability
Worn shocks can make your car lean on corners, bounce after bumps, or nose-dive when braking. That’s not just annoying – it’s dangerous.

Signs You Might Need Shocks Replaced
Not sure if your shocks are worn out? Here are the most common symptoms:
- Car bounces excessively after speed bumps or potholes
- Steering feels loose or floaty
- Longer stopping distances
- Uneven tyre wear (especially scalloping or feathering)
- Noises from suspension when going over bumps
- Car leans when braking, turning, or accelerating
You don’t have to know what’s wrong – just tell us what you’re feeling, and we’ll run a full suspension check.

Our Shocks Replacement Service in Dublin Includes
At Michael and Sons, we don’t just swap out parts – we fully inspect the suspension system and replace shocks the proper way, using quality components that match your vehicle.
Here’s what our service includes:
- Suspension system inspection
- Shock absorber replacement (front and/or rear)
- Struts, mounts, and bushings checked
- Wheel alignment check (if needed)
- Road test to confirm safe handling
We’ll also check if it’s worth replacing other components (like springs or top mounts) at the same time – but we’ll never upsell what’s not needed.
