Steering protection
What Power Steering Fluid Does and Why Flushing Matters
Power steering fluid is a hydraulic fluid that transmits pressure from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism, reducing the effort needed to turn. Over time, the fluid absorbs moisture, collects metal particles from internal wear, and degrades from heat exposure. Contaminated power steering fluid causes increased steering effort, noise when turning, and accelerated wear on the steering pump, hoses, and rack.
A power steering flush at Complete Auto Maintenance Centers removes the old fluid and replaces it with clean fluid that meets your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Power Steering
Most manufacturers recommend a power steering flush every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, though some vehicles may need service sooner depending on driving conditions. If you notice increased steering effort or noise when turning, have the fluid inspected regardless of mileage. Complete Auto Maintenance Centers performs power steering flushes at all three locations.
Honda vehicles use a specific power steering fluid formulation that differs from the universal fluid used in most other vehicles. Using the wrong fluid in a Honda steering system can cause seal damage and premature wear. Complete Auto Maintenance Centers carries the correct Honda-compatible fluid and prices it separately to ensure proper service.
