Steering Services at Shaikly Motor Company

Your vehicle’s steering system plays a vital role in maintaining control, stability and safe handling. Worn or damaged steering components can affect the way your vehicle drives, increase tyre wear and reduce driver confidence. At Shaikly Motor Company, we provide professional steering diagnostics, maintenance and repairs using manufacturer repair information and advanced diagnostic equipment. Whether you’ve noticed unusual steering behaviour, warning lights or excessive play, our technicians carry out a structured assessment to identify the root cause before recommending repairs.

Signs Your Steering May Need Attention

Heavy or Stiff Steering

If your steering feels heavier than normal or requires more effort to turn, it could indicate a fault within the steering system.

Vehicle Pulling to One Side

A vehicle that drifts or pulls while driving may indicate steering, suspension or wheel alignment issues.

Unusual Noises

Knocking, clunking or whining noises when turning the steering wheel may suggest worn steering components or power steering faults.

Steering Warning Lights

Dashboard warning lights relating to the steering system should always be professionally diagnosed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you check my steering if it doesn’t feel right?

Yes — if your steering feels off in any way, we can carry out a full inspection and advise you on the next steps.

Do you repair both electric and hydraulic steering systems?

We do. Our technicians are trained to work on all types of steering systems, including modern electric setups found in newer vehicles.

Will steering issues cause an MOT failure?

Potentially, yes. If we spot anything during a routine service or MOT prep that could cause a failure, we’ll let you know right away and provide a quote.

How long does it take to fix a steering problem?

That depends on the nature of the issue. We’ll give you a time estimate once we’ve assessed the vehicle and identified what’s required.
