Extremely satisfied

Eric

Perfect fit, lowest price! And I checked everywhere, very fast delivery. Just to be sure of my part lookup I called and the staff was pleasantly helpful. Will check 1aauto before anyone else when I need parts again.

Excellent customer service

Tim

From the very beginning it was obvious that customer service was a high priority. All of my questions were answered prior to purchasing this product. The strut assembly was exactly what was advertised and at a huge cost savings. One of the struts was lost in delivery and 1A had the missing strut delivered to me within 2 days. Highly recommend this company.

Adequate

GaryT Colorado

Parts arrived quickly and undamaged. Instructional video was truly helpful. Installation wasn't too bad, I broke a couple of tools, make sure you use 1/2 inch drive for the 24mm strut nuts and 3/8 drive for the 8mm tie rod. And check the alignment afterwards, some of these parts can move around quite a bit.

2008 GMC Acadia struts

Scott

Parts worked perfectly. Great price. Fast delivery and good follow up. Will use a-1 again.

Great Fit

These struts fit great and installed very quickly. It only took 2 hrs and 3 beers to get these installed. I now have a much more stable ride so I won't spill the other 9 beers. Thanks 1AAuto!

Front Strut Assembly

I really liked the fact that these were completely assembled quality units. They were easy to install and the price combined with free shipping was awesome! I will definitely be ordering more parts from 1A Auto!

clifford

I would recommend price was right and the loaded option with spring included makes it easier for the average person at home!

great savings & great fit

Quick delivery. Feel and appear well built. Fit perfectly. Bolted right in. Feel great driving for the week since installation. 2012 GMA Acadia with home/shade tree install. I would be surprised if they die before the factory set which spit the bit at 106K. Time will tell.

Dana

Seems to be good quality. Bolted up fast. Packaged nicely.

Fantastic

I received the struts in a timely fashion. My mechanic placed them on my vehicle and it is riding like a gem. I will most definitely be using A1 Auto for my part needs.

I no sooner ordered the struts and magically they appeared on my door step a few days late. I called my mechanic and he was not only happy that I ordered from 1A Auto but wasn't shocked at the fast delivery. He said he has always been impressed with the product that they supply but if there was a problem it would be handled immediately. Thanks Jeff Haner

My first time buying Auto Parts from 1A Auto

The first time I saw about 1A Auto what's on YouTube for help me change Parts on my vehicles and then I start looking at your website and I cannot believe the prices they're way cheaper than AutoZone and O'Reilly I actually recommend my father to buy stuff from you he likes it I even use your videos to replace his parts I will recommend you guys to all my friends thank you

Tim

Nice and easy swap out on my wife Enclave. Fast shipping and the video was very good. Will certainly be using 1aauto.com again!

Fair price for a good product

I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the ease with which it installed. It has given a smooth ride and very good handling control of the vehicle. There is no rattling or other noise from the front end and everything went in to place without any wrestling or need of prying to get them in place

Larry

Great value and quality, shipped fast and undamaged. Had them installed at Kwik Kar Auto Repair with no problems.

Vehicle rides like it did when it was brand new

Joel

shocks/struts were leaking and completely worthless on our 2008 Buick enclave . I ordered the new parts watched the video and attempted to change them myself Now the car drives like it did when it was new ...very good video straightforward and a very good price on the parts

The Chevy Traverse Front End Noises are GONE!

Part was as described and installed with ease in minimal time. The front end noises are now gone and the ride quality is restored. Would recommend 1A Auto and their parts (and installation videos) to anyone looking to DIY to save yourself a bunch of money.

Struts

Fast delivery, product as described. Instructional video very helpful for install.

Struts Chevy traverse

These were perfect fit for my car and reasonably priced!! Will definitely shop with A1 auto again!!

Easy as pie

I had been told how difficult this job could be. With your attention to detail, I was able to have the correct tools on hand before I started the project and found the step-by-step guide worked excellent. You made a scary job a piece of cake.

Perfect fit!!

Thomas

I ordered these for my 08 GMC Acadia. They were a perfect match to the stock ones. Got it riding like new again. Excellent price and very quick shipping. I will get all of my parts from 1A auto from now on!!

Quality Support

The struts are quality constructed and look as good as the factory struts. The price was extremely good and they were an exact perfect fit. Couldn't have purchased any better.

Great experience

Strut installed easy. Had a difficult time locating a wiper arm remover. Was able to lift plastic enough to get the strut removed. Easy installation.

Fit and price = excellence!

Oliver

Ordered those for my 2012 GMC Acadia. They arrived quickly. Took me 2 hours today to replace my old worn out struts with the ones from 1A. They fit perfectly and I enjoy riding my vehicle again. Thank you 1A for a reasonable priced quality product!

Everything was exactly as stated

Kevin

This product was an exact match and the video was spot on and in just a couple hours, my car was riding like a new one. I highly recommend this product.

struts

Found out about 1AAuto from a friend and looked up parts I've been wanting for some time. Replaced front struts on a 2008 Saturn outlook and parts fit perfectly in place as the original ones. The video was very helpful as well so I didn't have to look up tourqe spects. Time will tell about the quality and longevity of the product but looks and fells great. Ride is back to it's original feel. Thanks

Awesome transaction

Bought new shocks for my wife's traverse. Easy installation and much better ride.

GMC Acadia front struts

I purchased a set of pre-loaded struts for a 2012 GMC Acadia. They have been on the car for quite some time now. They fit as advertised and have given me no issues. The price is much less than any auto parts store locally.

Traverse suspension

Ordered front end struts and rear end shocks, and control arms. very happy with the exact fit and performance. Very fast shipping.

Rear strut replacement

Bought rear struts for GMCAcadia. Price was perfect and quality of part met expectations. Mainly bought the part due to the comprehensive instructional video clearly explaining installation procedure. Struts are performing well, ride much better, added a little front level as well. Over all very happy and will be buying additional parts as needed.

Excellent

Pick up and reach.

Purchase was easy delivery was quick and parts fitted perfectly.

Excellent

These shipped on time and were a perfect fit for the vehicle. Look to be high quality. I installed one side a few weeks ago and immediately went on a 500 mile road trip. The Enclave rode great! No more bumping from the passenger side wheel well!

Great partts

I ordered parts from A1 auto . The parts fit great pet and price was much cheaper than local auto store. I will order all my parts from a1 Auto.

Perfect

Well made and easy to install. Car drives like new!

easy DIY job

This is an easy job that i wish i would have taken on with my other cars over paying someone to do it for me.

Great

Good quality, easy installation, good price. I would recommend if budget is tight.

Great Video and superior part

Mildew Honeysuckle

I first watched the video about how to replace the front struts on my 2011 GMC Acadia. The video was awesome and taught me how to do the replacement with confidence. I ordered the parts which are truly a high quality part for half the price of any local walk in retail store here in my area. Thanks for the tutorial and saving me 250.00 or more!

Products were an exact fit. The job was done easily, especially with the very helpful how to videos. Would highly recommend.

2012 STRUTS

WAS A GREAT PRICE WAS SENT ON TIME AND RECIVED QUICK WILL SHOP WITH YOU AGAIN WHEN I NEED AUTO PARTS

Great product

These were very easy to install, ride quality instantly improved. Great instructional videos. Very quick shipment and arrival of the parts .

Great price and product

Shippent came in quickly. 1A had a set of two struts for the price of one strut from other places. Video directions where easy to follow and had no real problems with installation.

Ride is smooth

jeff

Fit like OEM and ride is back to normal.

Fast shipping

The struts came fast and where the right parts. The video was a great help and made it easy to install the struts. I'll buy from 1A Auto again.

Fit Perfect / Installation as described / Instant Improvement

When I originally go the quote from the tire store of 1000+ for the struts I started looking online. After watching the install and learning that the stabilizer bolt needed be on of the first components I got loose and removed all was great. I used a bottle jack on the floor to control the spring and followed the video to get it done. I immediately noticed the quite and improved ride and the alignment confirmed the ride height going back to original (up about an inch). I do a lot of my own work and the fast delivery and great price and quality from here was excellent. Thank you for an extremely cost effective way to may my ride like new!

Good product

Everything bolted right up. Good quality product.

No problems

Michael

Easy installation, no problems

Highly recommend

Noticed a rattle in my front end, discovered I needed struts. Every shop in town was quoting me 900 dollars. Bought these and watched the video on YouTube. 2 hours later, I saved 700 dollars. This site is awesome! All my parts come from here from now on.

Strut System for a Chevy Traverse

The product that was sent was exactly what I needed. They have been installed for almost a month now and there is a definite difference in how the car rides (in a very positive way). Also, these came very quickly and were at my doorstep on the projected date that they were supposed to. Lastly, I also used the DIY video that was on the websites product page and it saved me a lot of frustration. All was completed within 3 to 4 hours.

Able to do professional job at home

Steve

The how to video was perfect... step by step.. saved myself hundreds of dollars and labor and who knows what kind of care they would put in. Excellent. Will always do 1Aauto before going to a garage and overpaying.

Great Parts, Amazing Prices!

First of all I want to thank the people at A1 Auto for the amazing work they do. With that said I recently purchased around $650 for my entire front end suspension on my 2012 GMC Acadia. This all included 2 complete front strut kits, 2 drive axels, 2 lower control arms, 2 control arm mounts, 2 outer tierods, 2 sway bar links & 2 sway bar busings. The parts arrived within 2 business days as explained and to my satisfaction. I along with a cousin tackled this monster of a job and succeeded!. Not only were the parts exact fits but they made my drive 100% Better! I am so pleased with the videos online that without them I would have had a very difficult time. Thank You so much A1 Auto, you have a loyal & returning customer for life!!! I am now waiting on parts to be stocked for my next project, Engine mounts, Torque mount and Transmission mount.

Solid Struts

These new struts fit perfectly, were easy to install and have performed very well. The only difference to the factory installed struts is that the springs are not as beefy. Overall these struts are good quality replacements at a good price point and I am quite pleased with the purchase. Thanks 1AAuto!

Very UNSATISFIED woman

Stacey

These struts are bottom of the line. You get what you pay for. Quick fix but not what you're looking for if you want a smooth ride. They make my SUV ride hard even with 2 brand new tires on the front end. Going over train tracks sounds like my SUV is being tortured. It's rattling my Chevy to pieces. 2 stars because they aren't leaking yet...

Quality for price.

Arrived timely. Went on easily as noted in film. Film with how to was excellent.

New struts

lupe

Excellent product, Great price, East instaltion, will recommend.

Great product

Andy

Easy ordering and quick delivery even using standard delivery option. Struts bolted right in with no issues. Fit and finish is excellent better than the $200 per strut from the big box auto parts stores. Only have been installed a couple of weeks and so far the quality is great. I will be getting all of my parts from 1a auto from now on.

Good Quality Service

I was so pleased at how I contacted 1A and customer service help me find the correct part the price was very affordable and the delivery was on time.I will be doing more business with 1A

Solid solution

charles

Good, cost effective product. The how to videos helped reduce work time and eliminated installation problems.

John

Like always friendly service and fast delivery

Great product

Recommend this product perfect fit great delivery, great price!

Strut Spring Assemblies (quick struts)

Mark

My struts were shot and needed to be replaced. With the 1A Auto videos to help, I was able to replace them myself. A Chevy dealer wanted about $1100 to replace them. This was far cheaper and the quality of the struts looked great. Have driven about 500 miles and so far perform perfect.

Fit and ride great

Absolutely no issues during install and the traverse rides like a new one. Installation video was spot on.

Strut

Mark

Fitment was easy as quality as good as oem fast shippers

A+++

I didn't want to leave a review as soon as I received them or had them put on. I wanted to make sure I could leave an honest review to help others like me who couldn't afford to pay the dealer prices for manufactured new parts. These struts worked wonders on my car. I have a 2011 Gmc Acadia Denali that I bought new, these struts work so much better than the factory ones that came on the car even when it was new. No more feeling or hearing every crack you hit on the road, or every manhole that you have no choice but to run over! I wish I heard of these guys sooner, if I ever need to buy more, I'll definitely be coming here! The shipping was very fast and before the promised date. I definitely recommend them and I will buy from them again! Thank you

You won't be sorry

This is the first time I've replaced struts, v so I watched 1aauto's video for my 2012 Chevy traverse. On our vehicle, the passenger side, upper strut bearing failed and it was loud as all get out. It was also riding really rough, and we just turned over 115,000 miles on our original struts, so they were definitely due. Took my time and still had them done in about 2 hours. So fast and easy. On our first ride afterwards, my wife and I couldn't stop talking about what a difference these made. It was like when the vehicle was new! Highly recommend.

Superb service

I am really pleased with a Auto professional service

Acadia shocks and struts

Scott

The parts were exactly what I needed and installation was a snap! The accompanying video was perfect and the process only took a couple of hours. I will definitely be a returning customer!

Struts and shocks

Joseph

Ordered struts and shocks for a 2012 chevy Traverse from A1 and was very pleased with the fast service and quality of the parts. Easy to install and really appreciated the video supplied via link on the order. Piece of cake to install and saved allot of money doing it myself. Will definitely be back in the future. Thanks A1!

Robert

The hardest parts were getting the upper engine trim off (wipers), and the lower 2 suspension bolts off. Using a heavy duty 1/2" ratchet and small sledge hammer, the bottom bolts slowly came off. With 110k miles of use, they were tight. The new struts installed very easily. Attached are photos of the original broken spring strut and a comparison photo with the new struts. Not sure what others meant when saying when they appeared smaller or lower quality... look like the same gauge as the original. Been using for 1k miles and no complaints. GET A GOOD ALIGNMENT AFTER! You will be out of alignment. They work as good as the original! Was quoted over $950+ by numerous garages and the dealership. I did the work in 3.5 hours, bought new impact sockets ($65) and even a DeWalt Impact driver ($200) and was still half the price of the quotes!

Fit perfectly. install was a breeze for a DIY guy,

Customer Q&A

WHO IS THE MANUFACTURER?

April 13, 2017

Michael F

Don't know but they work very well

April 13, 2017

Gerry F

These are our 1A Auto brand struts, and made to meet or exceed OE specifications.

April 13, 2017

Alex P

i think the box was labeled UNITY. they work ok but was disapointed that the spring diameter or piston bore was not as large as the monroe i replaced

April 14, 2017

Nick P

does this include the actual bearing, or just the bearing plate?

June 24, 2017

Casey B

Everything including the bearing

June 24, 2017

Gerry F

I put these on my 08 Acadia, includes everything... All you need to do is unbolt top 3 bolts on fender and bottom two at knuckle. So much easier than trying to switch springs and bearing plate etc. Hope that helps

June 24, 2017

Eric B

This product is completely assembled and read to be installed all you have to do is remove the old one from your vehicle and replace it with this one you have to do nothing else .

June 25, 2017

SEAN R

October 21, 2019

D O

Complete assembly. Just unbolt old assembly and replace with new assembly. No missing around with compressing springs and switching bearing plates.

January 18, 2020

John H

They include everything you need. I just did this on my Traverse and it was easy to do following their installation video. All I needed was a couple tools I did not have. FAR cheaper to do yourself then a dealer that will want a lot of labor time to change out springs to put on new struts (I was quoted $1100 from a Chevy dealer on mine)
