How Our Power Steering Service Works

We make your visit predictable by starting with a conversation about the specific symptoms you have noticed. Our technicians then perform a visual inspection, checking fluid levels, hoses, and connections for leaks or damage. When necessary, we conduct a test drive to experience the steering response firsthand. This thorough initial assessment ensures we understand exactly how your vehicle is behaving on the road.

For modern vehicles, we utilize advanced diagnostic equipment to check electronic controls and sensors for error codes. We focus on identifying the root cause rather than guessing. Once diagnosed, we present a clear, written estimate and explain which repairs are urgent for safety versus those that are preventative. We review every option with you, ensuring you understand the plan before any work begins.

After you approve the repairs, our team completes the work with precision, followed by rigorous testing and quality checks. We keep you informed throughout the process, answering questions to ensure you feel confident in the results. You leave with a clear understanding of the service performed, supported by our industry-leading warranty, knowing your steering system has been restored to optimal condition.

Common Power Steering Problems and Signs

Steering issues often begin with subtle changes that are easy to overlook but can eventually compromise your safety and confidence on the road. Whether it is a stiff wheel or an unusual noise, these signs are your vehicle's way of asking for help. Recognizing early warning indicators is crucial for timely repairs, preventing minor inconveniences from becoming major failures for Norman drivers.

Watch for these common symptoms that indicate your power steering system requires professional attention:

  • Stiff Handling: The steering wheel feels heavy or difficult to turn, especially at low speeds or when parking.
  • Unusual Noises: You hear a whining, groaning, or squealing sound when turning the wheel, particularly at the limits.
  • Fluid Leaks: Reddish or amber puddles appear under the front of your parked vehicle, signaling a hydraulic leak.
  • Electric Faults: Dashboard warning lights illuminate, or the assist feels inconsistent or jerky on modern electric systems.

Ignoring these early signs can allow wear to spread to other parts of your suspension and steering assembly. If you notice stiffness, vibration, or new noises, our team will perform a thorough inspection to identify the root cause rather than just treating the symptom. We walk you through our findings clearly, empowering you to make the best decision for your vehicle's long-term health.

Convenient Steering Repair for Local Drivers

We recognize that most people in Norman depend on their vehicles every day, whether they are heading to work, class, or errands around town. Being without transportation during a steering repair is a real concern. That is why we offer a complimentary shuttle service that can take you to nearby destinations while we work on your vehicle.

If you prefer to wait at the shop, our lobby is designed to feel comfortable and welcoming. Our team keeps you updated on progress, so you are not left wondering how much longer your visit will take. When possible, we work with you to schedule service at a time that fits your day, which can be helpful if you regularly drive through busier areas where steering issues are more noticeable.

Driving in and around Norman often involves a mix of tighter parking lots, slower surface streets, and faster highway stretches. Steering problems can show up more clearly when you are maneuvering into a parking space, turning through intersections, or merging at speed. If your steering no longer feels predictable in these situations, we encourage you to schedule an inspection so we can help you address the issue before it grows.

Whether you are dealing with a small fluid seep or a more serious change in steering feel, our team is ready to help. We strive to make the experience as straightforward as possible, from check-in through pickup, so you can focus on your day while we care for your vehicle.

Get clear explanations without the confusing technical jargon. Book your diagnostic visit online or call (405) 393-9107 to understand exactly what your vehicle needs.

Frequently Asked Questions


Is it safe to keep driving with hard steering?

Sudden hard steering can reduce your ability to control the vehicle safely. We generally recommend limiting driving and having the vehicle inspected as soon as you can. Our team can help you decide what is reasonable based on how the steering feels and any warning signs you describe.

How much does power steering repair usually cost?

The cost of power steering repair depends on what we find during inspection. A simple fluid service costs less than replacing a pump, rack, or electric assist component. We provide a written estimate, explain options, and get your approval before work, so there are no surprise charges.

How long will my power steering service take?

Service time varies with the type of repair and parts availability. Many fluid services and minor repairs can be completed the same day, while more involved work may take longer. We communicate timing up front and offer a shuttle to help you keep your day moving.

Do you warranty your power steering repairs?

Yes, our power steering repairs are backed by an industry-leading warranty that reflects our confidence in the parts we use and the work we perform. We are happy to explain the specific coverage for your repair before you approve the estimate.

What happens when I bring my car in for steering issues?

When you arrive, we discuss your steering concerns, then our technicians inspect the system and perform any needed diagnostic checks. We review what we find in plain language and provide a written estimate. Only the repairs you approve are completed, and we test drive the vehicle before returning it to you.

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.
