Our mechanics are experienced in diagnosing and repairing all types of power steering problems. Our services include:
Power Steering Pump Replacement
Your power steering pump provides hydraulic pressure needed for smooth steering. If you're experiencing symptoms like squealing noises, difficulty turning the wheel, or a whining sound when steering, your pump may be failing. Ignoring these signs can lead to more significant issues.
Pump Replacement Process:
✔ Diagnosis: We perform a thorough inspection of the power steering pump, checking fluid levels, belt tension, and for any leaks. ✔ Pump Removal: Our technicians carefully remove the faulty power steering pump. ✔ New Pump Installation: We install a high-quality replacement pump that’s designed for your specific vehicle. ✔ System Bleeding: After installation, we bleed the system to ensure there are no air bubbles, restoring the proper hydraulic pressure. ✔ Final Testing: We test the steering to ensure smooth operation and eliminate any issues.

Parts: $150 - $400+ Labor: $100 - $300+ Note: Prices may vary based on your vehicle’s make and model.
Power Steering Leak Repair Service
Leaks in the power steering system can cause low fluid levels, resulting in difficulty steering and potential damage to your power steering pump. Our experts can quickly locate and repair any leaks to ensure your steering system operates smoothly and safely.
Leak Repair Process:
✔ Leak Detection: We inspect the power steering pump, hoses, seals, and steering rack for leaks. ✔ Seal and Hose Replacement: If leaks are found, we replace worn or cracked hoses, seals, or O-rings to prevent fluid loss. ✔ Fluid Refill: After repairs, we refill the system with the appropriate fluid and test the steering system. ✔ Pressure Test: We ensure that the power steering system is under the proper pressure and there are no further leaks.

Power Steering Belt Replacement
The power steering belt transfers power from the engine to the pump, ensuring that your steering system gets the proper hydraulic pressure. If the belt becomes cracked, loose, or worn, you’ll experience difficulty steering and may hear squealing. Belt replacement is essential.
Belt Replacement Process:
✔ Belt Inspection: We examine the power steering belt for signs of wear, cracks, or loosening. ✔ Belt Removal: If the belt is worn, we remove the old belt to prepare for replacement. ✔ Belt Installation: We install a new belt that is properly tensioned to avoid slipping. ✔ Final Check: We test the system for smooth operation, ensuring the new belt runs efficiently.
