Electrical Steering Motor
Many modern cars use an electric power steering (EPS) motor instead of a hydraulic pump to assist your steering. When the motor fails you may see a warning light, feel heavy steering, or lose power assist completely. We test the EPS system and replace the motor to restore smooth, effortless steering.

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean when my power steering warning light comes on?
On an EPS system, the light usually means the electric steering motor or a sensor has a fault. Steering may suddenly feel heavy, so it should be diagnosed as soon as possible.
Can I still drive if the electric steering motor fails?
You can usually still steer, but it will take much more effort, especially at low speeds and when parking. It is safest to have it repaired quickly.
