Signs you need this looked at
- Steering suddenly heavy, or heavy only when cold
- Groaning or whining that rises when you turn
- Reddish fluid leaking near the front of the car
- A steering warning light, common on electric systems
- Steering that feels notchy or wanders
Diagnose first, fix second — quoted before either
- Diagnosis for both hydraulic and electric power steering, including fault-code scanning on EPS systems
- Pump, rack, hose and reservoir inspection to locate the actual leak
- Fluid condition check — burnt fluid tells us the pump is on borrowed time
- Repair or replacement quoted in writing, with steering geometry checked afterwards
Power steering failure at low speed is inconvenient; at highway speed it is dangerous. Groaning and heaviness are the early warnings worth acting on. Where the fault isn’t obvious, we book it in for diagnostics (from $374, two-hour minimum, charged for our time) — then the repair itself is quoted in writing before anything is replaced.
Power Steering Repairs — FAQ
It depends what the testing finds, so we won’t invent a number. You get a fixed written quote before any repair work begins. Where diagnosis is needed first, that is from $374 (two-hour minimum) and is charged for our time, not offered as a free quote.
We can tell you the likely causes and what testing is involved — but a phone diagnosis is a guess, and guesses get the wrong parts replaced. Call 03 8782 0711 and we’ll tell you straight what’s needed.
It depends on the symptom — some of these are merely inconvenient, others are genuinely unsafe. Call and describe it; if it needs to stop being driven, we’ll say so rather than book you in next week.
