Honest opinion
Practitioner take on Santa Monica washer service.
Front-load washer shock absorbers are the most-overlooked maintenance item. Year 6-9 typical wear; symptom is severe vibration during spin. Replacement runs $340-580. Skipping shock absorber service stresses the drum bearings and tub seal, leading to $880-1,400 multi-component repair instead of $400 single-component. Most operations replace shocks reactively after secondary damage; we identify shock wear at routine service before damage compounds.
