Our Process for Power Steering Repair & Maintenance

A well-maintained power steering system supports smooth, responsive driving and reduces fatigue behind the wheel. Our team follows a step-by-step approach to detect issues early and extend the life of your power steering system in Wheat Ridge.

Power steering inspection: We check fluid levels, hoses, pumps, and steering components to catch leaks, wear, or failures before they lead to bigger problems.
Fluid exchange: If your power steering fluid becomes dark, dirty, or contaminated, we perform a fluid flush and refill to restore smooth operation and protect the system from damage.
Component repair & replacement: If we find an issue—such as worn belts, a failing pump, loose hoses, or a damaged rack—we offer clear recommendations and only replace what is needed.
Test drive and quality check: Our team performs a test drive to confirm precise steering response and verifies everything is in top shape before you get back on the road.

Our process always starts with a detailed conversation about how your steering feels and if you have noticed recent changes. Each step is designed for clarity, so you know what we recommend and why.

Because daily life in Wheat Ridge demands reliable transportation—especially when winter weather hits—we focus on preventing breakdowns and reducing costly repairs down the road. Regular power steering service limits the risk of steering failure in stop-and-go traffic, on hills, or during tight turns in parking lots.

FAQs

How do I know if my power steering system needs service?

Common warning signs include heavy or stiff steering, whining or squealing when you turn the wheel, leaks under your vehicle, and low power steering fluid levels. Changes in steering response often mean it’s time for an inspection.

Is power steering fluid the same for all vehicles?

Not every car uses the same type of power steering fluid. Using the correct fluid recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer helps protect your steering system and maintain smooth handling. Our team always uses the best option for your car.

How often should I replace my power steering fluid?

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend inspecting the power steering fluid at every oil change. Many suggest a complete fluid replacement every 50,000 miles, or sooner if you notice it looks dirty or cloudy. Checking fluid levels and condition regularly helps prevent unexpected repairs.

What can cause a power steering system to fail?

Damage can occur from worn parts, old or contaminated fluid, leaks, broken belts, or pump issues. Weather in Wheat Ridge, especially freezing temperatures, can also make existing problems worse if not addressed promptly.

Can I drive with a leaking power steering system?

Driving with a leak puts more stress on your vehicle and can eventually lead to complete steering loss. If you discover a leak or a change in your steering, have an automotive professional check it before driving further. Quick attention can save on repairs and keep you safer.

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.
