Power Steering Fluid Leak

[Brad Duffell]

Hey raiders,

Ive recently discovered to my dissapointment that my car has a power steering fluid leak. I got a mechanic to come out and have a look at it and he said it was my power steering pump that was shot and my hoses needed replacing. He quoted $280 and i was hoping that if any raiders were mechanics or anyone who has had the same problem could give me a heads up if that is an unfair price and how much i should be looking at it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Brad

Brad,

Depending on what he is replacing that seems to be a very good price.

I am assuming that we are talking about a commodore here??

If so i used to be a mechanic for Holden and i can tell you that the saginaw pumps are shite , and need to have there seals replaced a often!!. it is usually just the pump not the hoses.

But $280 seems like a fair price it takes about an hour+ fluid and a seal kit
