Book a power steering repair
Power steering issues can make driving difficult and unsafe, causing stiffness or excessive play in the steering wheel, so it’s important that when you need to, you get it checked out. A mechanic will look to diagnose and fix things like leaks, worn components, or pump failures.
Book a diagnostic
A mechanic will check your car for faults and talk you through any repairs you might need. There are various ways to check for faults, which could include a physical examination or plugging in to check your car’s onboard engine management system.
We’ll look for any mechanical or electrical problems. If we need to, we’ll also check your car’s onboard engine management system. Depending on your car and issue, this will usually include:
