Steering problems are a safety issue. A whining pump, a leaking hose or a worn tie rod end gives you less control of the car.
We inspect the steering system on the lift, show you what’s worn and quote before we work.

- Power steering fluid and leak inspection
- Pump, hose and rack or steering box inspection
