When the steering is working, there’s little to think about. It turns the wheels the way you want. It guides the car the way you expect. If your steering seems unpredictable or sluggish, contact Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center, home of car repair serving Newburgh NY.

Steering uses a combination of mechanical parts, electric power, and sometimes hydraulic power to achieve precision. This may include electronic sensors that regulate steering to match your speed. Steering fluid must be maintained at the right level and flushed at the factory-directed interval. The transmission and the suspension also must respond to steering cues. With so much in play, there are many ways that steering can suffer. The best way to maintain your steering is regular maintenance at Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center. We'll watch for problems and head them off before steering is affected. Use our online scheduler.

Steering issues include a loss of power when trying to maneuver at slow speeds, a lack of precision at any speed, and/or a feeling of losing control. An engine light or a power steering light may be your first clue, however. Transmission problems and suspension problems can also come disguised as steering problems. A bad tire or a loose wheel can cause a steering issue. Obviously, the situation is complicated, and that’s why car owners need an expert to get to the solution. Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center mechanics are well-trained in all aspects of car care, and they will find the right answer to your car’s steering problem.
