Q1. What are shocks and springs?
A1. Shocks and springs are components of a vehicle suspension system that help to absorb impacts from the road and provide a smooth ride. The springs, often coil or leaf springs, absorb most of the bumps and dips in the road, while the shocks, or shock absorbers, provide additional damping to maximize the ride comfort.
Q2. How often should I replace my shocks and springs?
A2. It is recommended to replace your shocks and springs every 50,000 miles. However, it may be necessary to replace them sooner if you begin to experience excessive bouncing, bottoming out, or premature tire wear from uneven suspension.
Q3. What type of shocks and springs should I use for my vehicle?
A3. The type of shocks and springs you should use for your vehicle will depend on your vehicle’s make, model, and year. It is important to use the correct type of suspension components for your particular vehicle for optimal performance.

Ring RTC Tyre inflator
Bought the tyre inflator because of the unreliable service station tyre inflators.
The buying process online through APD was straightforward. Ordered the tyre inflator late afternoon and received it 2 days later via the Royal mail.
I have a car, campervan and motorbike. I like the wind in cable feature keeps everything neat and tidy. The inflator is easy to use on all three vehicles. Appreciated the chocolate.
Very quick despatch and delivery time
Good updates. Items exactly as described. All fitted and car back on the road.
Personally I found them to be very...
helpful response to emails relating to my purchase was within the hour and they offered the best price on the parts I needed had to wait a couple of days longer than usual due to the parts that I needed was out of stock (but I was made aware of this before ordering) would happily use them again.
Very helpful company.
I ordered a cabin filter on their website which was out of stock. They contacted me by email & offered a replacement which wasn't really what I wanted so they immediately sent a refund. I found another that was suitable, they happily ordered it for me and called me when it arrived in my local store to collect.
Helpful people giving great service
The Wiper blades I ordered were competitively priced and promptly delivered. Unfortunately there was an issue with the fitment and this is where APD showed their commitment to great customer service. They were most helpful in resolving the problem to my complete satisfaction.
