The play. Car in the air, hands on the wheel at the top and bottom for a ball joint, side to side for a tie rod, a pry bar under a control arm. Worn parts move and good ones do not, and you can see the difference without knowing anything about cars. Photos are fine. Vague talk about it being tired is not.
A complete assembly comes with the spring and mount already fitted, so the job is faster and nobody has to compress a spring. It costs more in parts and less in labor, and it replaces the mount and bearing that were probably worn anyway. A bare shock makes sense when the spring and mount are genuinely sound.
In states that run a safety inspection, yes. Play in a ball joint or tie rod, a leaking shock, a broken spring and a torn boot are all common write-ups. Even where no inspection exists, the same wear is quietly costing you tires, so the repair pays for itself either way.
[N_LIC] of the 24 shops on this page show a license number or a certification on their websites. For suspension work, ASE certification in steering and suspension is the relevant one to ask about. It is a claim you can check with the issuing body, and the listing shows it as stated.
