Power Steering Services
Power steering is a luxury that many of today's vehicles offer to drivers. Specifically, power steering allows drivers to move the wheel with less overall effort, which can help when turning or maneuvering. It's made possible via a power steering system, which includes various belts and pumps, and fluid to operate effectively.
However, while power steering can be categorized as a luxury, if the system fails, it could significantly impact your safety on the road. That's why it's important to seek service immediately in the event of power steering failure. Contact your local GreatWater-affiliated shop for power steering service or read on for more information.

How Often Should You Replace Power Steering Fluid?
As is the case with most systems or equipment, preventative maintenance is key to maintaining your power steering system - and one of the best things you can do when it comes to preventative maintenance is replacing the power steering fluid. How often you should change this fluid largely depends on your manufacturer's recommendations, but generally speaking, it should be changed every 40,000 to 80,000 miles. In addition to power steering system repair, we also perform power steering fluid flushes at all of our locations. Contact us today for more information on this service and its benefits for your overall system.
Symptoms of Power Steering Failure
Be on the lookout for various signs and symptoms that indicate a power steering system needs maintenance. Some of the common signs and symptoms to be aware of include:
- The Electronic Stability Control light is illuminated on the dashboard.
- The wheel lags or seems slow to respond when you turn it.
- You hear whining or squeaking noises when you turn the wheel, especially when turning.
- You hear groaning noises when steering that seem to be coming from under the hood.
- You notice red or pink-colored fluid under your vehicle when it's parked. This could be indicative of a power steering fluid leak.
