A Story of Passion and Dedication

Our journey into the world of auto repair began long before KS Autocare opened its doors. Seth and Mike both grew up near Elgin, IL, and developed a deep passion for mechanics at a young age. Mike learned the ropes of heavy equipment repair on his family’s dairy farm, while Seth spent his time tinkering with mini bikes in his backyard garage. Their shared love for automotive repair led us both to pursue formal education at WYO Tech in Laramie, Wyoming, back here in Elgin,  they forged a bond that would eventually lead to the creation of KS Autocare.

Understanding the Importance of Power Steering

Your vehicle’s power steering system is responsible for making steering easier and more responsive. Over time, components like the power steering pump, hoses, and fluid can wear out, leading to issues such as leaks, noise, or even complete power steering failure. Whether your vehicle uses electric or hydraulic power steering, regular maintenance is essential to ensure smooth operation and avoid costly repairs.

At KS Autocare, we treat every vehicle as if it were our own. We provide thorough inspections and expert repairs to keep your power steering system functioning properly. Our mission is to deliver top-notch automotive services with the honesty and integrity that our customers have come to expect.

  • Power Steering Pump Replacement: If your power steering pump is failing in your Chevrolet Tahoe or Toyota Camry, we can replace it with a high-quality part to ensure reliable and smooth steering.
  • Power Steering Fluid Change: Regular fluid changes are crucial to prevent contamination and keep your power steering system operating smoothly. We’ll ensure your system is filled with the correct type of fluid, whether you drive a Jeep Wrangler or a BMW 3 Series.
  • Power Steering Leak Repair: Leaks in the power steering system can lead to low fluid levels and poor steering response. We quickly identify and repair leaks in vehicles like the Nissan Altima or Subaru Forester to maintain system integrity.

Signs Your Power Steering Needs Attention

Several signs may indicate that your power steering system requires service:

  • Steering Wheel Hard to Turn: Difficulty in turning the wheel, whether you drive a Toyota Corolla or a Volkswagen Passat, is often a sign of low power steering fluid or a failing power steering pump.
  • Noises While Steering: Squealing, whining, or groaning noises when you turn the wheel in your Honda Accord or Ford Mustang can indicate a problem with the power steering pump or fluid.
  • Power Steering Fluid Leaks: Puddles of fluid under your car, whether it’s a Chevrolet Impala or a Kia Sorento, may signal a power steering leak that needs immediate attention.
  • Vibrations or Jerking While Steering: These symptoms, whether experienced in a Nissan Rogue or a Hyundai Santa Fe, could indicate issues with the power steering rack or other components of the system.
  • Power Steering Warning Light: If this light appears on your dashboard in vehicles like a Chrysler 300 or a Lexus RX, it’s important to have your power steering system inspected as soon as possible.

At KS Autocare, we’ll thoroughly inspect your power steering system, diagnose any issues, and provide you with clear, honest recommendations for repair or maintenance.
