Power Steering Services in Nashville, TN

Power steering fluid is the hydraulic fluid that enables your vehicle’s power steering system to function smoothly, making it easy to turn the steering wheel even at low speeds or when parking. This vital fluid transmits hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump to the steering rack or gearbox, reducing driver effort and ensuring precise control. At Terry’s Service Center in West Nashville, our ASE-certified technicians perform complete power steering fluid exchanges by flushing the old, contaminated fluid, inspecting the system for leaks or wear, and refilling with the manufacturer-recommended fluid type—keeping your steering responsive, quiet, and reliable on Nashville roads.

​

Regular power steering fluid service is crucial because the fluid degrades over time from heat, contamination, and normal use, losing its lubricating and hydraulic properties. Dirty or low fluid causes stiff steering, whining pump noises, and jerky wheel movement, especially noticeable during tight turns or highway lane changes common around Nashville. When you visit Terry’s Service Center, we check fluid condition and level during routine maintenance, recommend service every 30,000–60,000 miles (or sooner if you hear noises), and inspect hoses, pumps, and racks for early wear—preventing bigger problems and maintaining effortless steering control.
