Let’s Fix Your Steering
Power steering repairs aren’t just about topping up fluid—they require a full-system approach. That's why we check for leaks, pressure issues and worn belts before starting the job. We carry out everything from pump replacements to rack overhauls and fluid flushes, all backed by decades of mechanical experience.
Every repair we do is tailored to your vehicle, whether it’s a standard daily driver or something with a more complex setup. If we uncover anything unexpected along the way, you’ll get a clear explanation and honest advice. We keep your steering tight, smooth and safe—so you can hit the road with total confidence.
What does a power steering flush do?
A power steering flush removes old, dirty fluid from the system and replaces it with clean fluid. This process helps maintain smooth steering, prevents damage to seals and the pump and extends the life of the steering components. Flushing also removes debris and sludge that can clog the system or reduce performance. It’s often recommended during major servicing or when fluid contamination is found.
Why is my steering wheel hard to turn?
A hard-to-turn steering wheel can be caused by low power steering fluid, a worn or broken pump, damaged belts, steering rack problems or even tyre issues. In cold weather, thickened fluid may also cause stiffness. If the problem gets worse or is sudden, it’s best to stop driving and have the system checked immediately to avoid further damage or loss of control.
What’s the difference between hydraulic and electric power steering?
Hydraulic power steering uses fluid pressure generated by a pump to assist steering. Electric power steering (EPS) uses an electric motor and sensors to provide assistance. EPS systems are generally more efficient, require less maintenance and allow advanced features like lane-keeping assist. However, hydraulic systems are still common in older vehicles and require regular fluid checks and occasional servicing to maintain performance.
