This is especially true for contracted mechanics. If you have contracted with a service center to perform all your fleet maintenance needs they might work with you and if you buy the truck parts (in this case the truck shocks) from them they might offer you a free installation.
7. Ask for discounts
The reality is that their mechanics need to get paid, and paid well I mean. So the chances of them not charging for labor are slim. However, the likelihood of them offering discounts, rebates, and other special offer is very possible.
Beggars can’t be choosers but in same time asking for a discount can’t hurt anybody. The worst case scenario is they say no.
This again depends on the shop/mechanic and your relationship with them. So inquire about this before you get your truck shocks installed.

8. Buy Truck Shocks in pairs to get discounts
This may seem a little obvious. Buying anything, to include truck shocks, in bulk is almost always a better deal. Is same like when you are buying in bulk truck tires, truck mirrors or trailer lights etc. If you have a fleet, which is made up of the same model trucks, this is a great way to save money on your operational costs. But even if you’re just doing one truck this trick can still save you some money.
