FAQs
How often should I arrange power steering service?
Most vehicles benefit from power steering service, including fluid inspection or replacement, every 30,000 to 50,000 miles or as stated in your owner’s manual. Your driving habits and conditions may affect this schedule.
Which signs indicate I need power steering repair?
Watch for stiff or noisy steering, squeals during turns, visible fluid on your driveway, or slow response when you turn the wheel. These symptoms often mean it’s time for a checkup or repair.
Does a Texas state inspection include a power steering check?
Texas safety inspections do not specifically check power steering systems. To stay safe, address any concerns or unusual steering behavior right away.
Is it safe to drive if I notice a power steering issue?
Driving with steering issues increases the risk of accidents and can lead to more expensive repairs. Schedule an inspection as soon as you notice a steering concern.
Will you explain repairs before you begin any work?
We believe in total transparency. Our team discusses every finding and recommendation before starting repairs and answers your questions clearly.

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.

-
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.
