I do all my shock and brake replacements. No one has ever done shock, brake, battery replacement on any of my cars. I have a 2005 Chevy SSR. Got it in 2014. When they came out in 2003 they had a 5.3 engine putting out 300 horsepower. In 2005 they put in a 6.0 liter LS2 with 400 horsepower. Whoever bought this SSR didn’t think that was enough so they added a Magnuson supercharger. Now we have over 500 horsepower. I added Kooks exhaust header for even more. 456 horsepower at the rear wheels. Decided to replace the brakes and front shocks. This included rotors, pads, master cylinder. One problem, the front shocks are McPherson with the shock within the spring. The problem is I need to lift up the fuses and electronic junctions to access the drivers side shock tower. I am clearly out of my league. I did get some help. When complete and I take it for a test drive half of the electronics aren’t working. Got home and look for the problem. On and off for a year and a half. Charged up the new battery and low and behold it started up. Took it out and drove it around. Half the electrical not working. Windows won’t go down, top won’t go done, all the guages not working. Afraid to take it to the dealer. I ain’t rich. My neighbor Richard said he had great experience with Silverlake Automotive. I take it there, park it with the engine on, afraid to turn it off. Go in, explain my pitiful experience. They said it would take a couple of days. Two days later I get a call, SSR is back to normal, bill under $400. I am in shock. Oh, by the way you get a discount for being a veteran. My baby is back on the road. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
