Is it getting hard to steer your vehicle? Have you found yourself needing to add power steering fluid at times? As power steering fluid gets old it starts to break down. Your steering becomes sluggish and less responsive. In this case a power steering fluid flush is needed to get the old fluid and contaminants out and new fluid in. If you find yourself adding power steering fluid, then of course, you have a leak somewhere. Minimally you would want to get the leak fixed and top off the fluid. But at Bob's Auto we most likely would recommend a power steering fluid flush. Particularly if any components or parts were needed as part of the repair. This flush is an important maintenance service that will save you money in the long run. And, you don't have to wait until you have a steering issue or leak! On average, manufacturers recommend this fluid flush every 40,000-80,000 miles. Check your owner's manual for your specific vehicle.

I think my gas gauge is broken. The gauge was reading half full and then my car died in my work parking lot. Oh no! Well, the good thing is that you were not left on the side of the road. The issue could be a broken gas gauge but most likely something else is going on. One simple test is to get under your vehicle and tap on the gas tank. If you hear a hollow sound the tank is probably empty, and a broken gas gauge is not the answer. If you hear a sloshing sound or thud, then you know you have plenty of gas. So, if you have plenty of gas, why did it die on you? Before calling Bob's Auto to make an appointment, check the instrument panel fuse location in owner's manual. This will help you locate what fuse to inspect for cracks. If the fuse seems to be fine, give us a call!
