When it comes to vehicle safety and handling, the car steering system plays a crucial role. Whether you’re making tight turns or driving on the highway, having a properly functioning system ensures a smooth and controlled ride. At Quarrie Tire & Auto in London, ON, we provide expert steering system services to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
Car steering allows drivers to control their vehicle’s direction with ease. Modern vehicles use power-assisted steering to make turning the steering wheel effortless. Without a functioning system, maneuvering your vehicle would be difficult, making it dangerous to drive.
Most cars today use rack and pinion systems. This is a common system that converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion to turn the wheels. The steering column connects the wheel to the shaft, transmitting the driver’s input to the mechanism.
There are two main types of systems used in modern vehicles: hydraulic and electric. Both of these systems assist the driver in maneuvering with minimal effort, making driving more comfortable and safer.
Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS)
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
In vehicles equipped with a hydraulic system, a driven pump generates hydraulic pressure, pushing power steering fluid through the system to assist with maneuvering. The pump is powered by the engine and continuously operates while the vehicle is running. As the driver turns the wheel, the hydraulic assistance reduces the effort required to turn the front wheels.
The system consists of several essential components:

Thank you for the fast, friendly and reliable service. I called with a short timeline between road trips and they diagnosed and fixed my caravan to get me back on the road so I didn’t miss a thing. This is a garage that is very customer focused that I feel I can trust!!

A great experience. Treated me fairly and offered a loaner vehicle if I wanted it. Explained everything to me that they had did and offered suggestions for the future.

Now called Quarrie Tire and Auto with new ownership this shop is excellent. Honest, fair and has the customer's best interest at top of mind. The work performed on my car was done quickly and done right. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. 11/29/22 Another visit for winter tires. After test drive they pointed out a potentially serious brake problem. As I've said above, they always have the customers best interest at top of mind.

Great staff. Really good price. Pointed out other issues and didn't try to guilt me into fixing them right away. Speedy service and high quality work.

Five Star all the way. Great service. Great prices. Always fast. Last time after my oil change I noticed the boys greased up all my hinges and latches etc. Who does that these days? Thanks Adam

Adam and his team are awesome to deal with, true professionals! I needed some help with safety for a cube truck and Adam got it done quick and very reasonably priced as well. I’ll be back!
Brandon Robbins Feb 2, 2022
Have to say very pleased. They were very accommodating. A quick look at a problem my vehicle was having and referred to the dealer as it was probably under warranty. Thanks guys
Howard Robertson Feb 2, 2022
Just had my tires switched over here and the service was amazing! They squeezed me in when no one else would and were very curious when I went in. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family

Adam and he's staff are top notch and will try to help to give you what you need instead of what will make them the most profit.
Adam Mark Apr 4, 2021
I took my car in after a really bad snow fall because I had an extremely bad shake in the car and thought I needed the tires balanced. Turns out there was just snow packed in which they cleared out for free. Noticed I needed an alignment i told them to go ahead, instead of taking my money they told me there was other issues that needed to be fixed first and gave me all the information with absolutely no charge. They could have charged me for man hours and they didn't. They are also very friendly. I highly recommend!!
Customer Service Feb 2, 2021
Honest, fair, able, reasonable and will return for service again. To be honest, I'm a diy kind of guy and can handle most mechanical and electrical issues... and am shy on bringing a vehicle in for service. Too many bad experiences. Needed a safety done as well as some other things, and the service from this team blew my mind! They stand behind what they say, they are fair and are going to do what it takes to get your return business. Consider me a return customer, and thank you for your excellent work!
Brad M Jul 7, 2020
