Do shops listed for Santa Cruz let me pay off suspension work?
3 of the 12 shops say they offer financing. Full suspension jobs run into real money, particularly when struts, springs and an alignment land together, so this comes up often. Ask what the rate becomes after any promotional period, and whether the plan covers parts, labor or both.
