Bury is five miles east of Bolton, eight miles northwest of Manchester and six miles southwest of Rochester, so it's worth comparing car repair prices in these areas.

Getting around by public transport is easy; buses are run mainly by Diamond North West, with services throughout Greater Manchester. The A56 between Bury and Manchester city centre sees a high number of collisions compared to other roads in the county.

Shock absorbers dampen the rebound of the suspension when you drive over speed bumps and rough ground, keeping your wheels in contact with the road. Unfortunately, they don't last forever; the average car shock absorber lifespan is around five years, though this will be higher if you mainly drive on smooth roads.

Common signs you need a shock absorber repair are uneven tyre wear, excessive bouncing and swerving, a vibrating steering wheel and longer stopping distances. Pothole damage often affects a car's shock absorbers, which become worn out due to high-end impact, so if you frequently drive on damaged roads, keep an eye out for the above symptoms and any oil leakage from the shocks.

Remember, you should always replace shocks in pairs, like brake pads.
