Local Insights: Steering Care for Colorado Drivers

Power steering systems in Berthoud face seasonal temperature swings, unpaved roads, and both highway and small-town driving. Preventive maintenance, such as fluid exchanges and timely checks, helps reduce risks like corrosion and makes handling more reliable on all types of roads in Larimer County and Weld County. 

Our approach adapts recommended service intervals to your real-world driving conditions, ensuring that your car or truck stays safe through winter cold, spring mud, and summer warmth. Our ASE-certified team tailors every service to fit your daily routes—whether you commute down Mountain Avenue, travel along Highway 287, or use rural backroads near local farms. 

In colder months, responsive steering improves traction and control on icy or snow-packed pavement. During hot spells, dusty construction sites can affect system components and seals. You receive local guidance and practical recommendations at every visit, so your vehicle’s steering system can handle whatever Berthoud roads might bring.

Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I check my power steering fluid?

Most vehicles benefit from a fluid check at every oil change or at least once a year. Follow your owner’s manual for your best maintenance interval.

What are the signs of power steering problems?

If you notice your wheel feels stiff, makes noises, leaks fluid, or is difficult to turn, have your power steering system checked to prevent larger repairs later.

Can I drive if my power steering fails?

Manual steering is possible, but loss of power assist can make your car harder to control. Avoid driving and schedule a checkup if you experience steering changes.

Why does power steering fluid need to be changed?

Fluid degrades over time, losing protective properties and allowing debris to collect. Regular fluid exchanges support smooth, quiet, and responsive steering.

How long will the service take?

Most power steering inspections and fluid exchanges last under an hour. If your system needs major repairs, our team will keep you updated on timing and status.

FAQs

  • Q. "How do I know if my power steering is starting to fail?"
    3 common signs are that your wheel is requiring more force to turn, whining noise when turning, or your steering shakes when idle. If you are worried about your power steering failing, contact your local Christian Brothers today to have our experienced technicians take a look.
  • Q. "How often do I need to get my power steering fluid replaced?"
    The average recommendation is between 40,000 and 80,000 miles, but it varies depending on your manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Q. "Why do I need to change my power steering fluid?"
    With time, the power steering fluid in your vehicle loses its potency and can become contaminated. Fluid with foreign materials and dirt floating around in it is less efficient, meaning the pump works harder and is worn down faster. Putting new fluid in is much more cost-effective than buying a new pump.
  • Q. "What do I do if my power steering fails while driving?"
    If your power steering fails while driving, it will require quite a bit of force to turn the wheel. Carefully pull to the side of the roadand call a tow truck to safely get your vehicle to an automotive shop.
  • Q. "What is a Digital Vehicle Inspection?"
    With a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) on every visit, you’ll see firsthand photos of your vehicle from under the hood. We’ll let you know if everything is functioning properly or if there are any areas of concern. You can even approve or deny our service recommendations, all straight from your smartphone, or you can, of course, give us a call and we’ll explain our findings in further detail.
  • Q. "Do you offer a warranty?"
    As part of our Nice difference.® commitment to providing our customers the best auto service experience possible, we also offer a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty on all the work that we do. We offer this warranty at every Christian Brothers Automotive nationwide, and it will be honored at any location, regardless of which branch did the initial work.
