Get a second opinion. If the hoses leak they need replacing. If they don't leak, they're fine to keep using and save $120- $200 in parts. If the rack failed, you had a lot of trouble driving the car to the shop. If the power steering pump failed, it might have been leaking a lot and the car would have been hard to drive. I said all that to say, if you drove the car easily to the shop for regular service and they came up with all these needed repairs, it may just be fantasy to empty your purse.

You want information on a vehicle you don't list ? Like make model year I can't verify the finding without information If we don't know WHAT YOU HAVE can't tell you how to fix it and whats in the system

I can give you information about a ford 150 and you drive a mini cooper Not going to help much is it

Good luck

There are thousands of parts and a myriad of systems in today’s vehicles. When problems arise it is completely impractical, if not impossible, to begin guessing which part or parts need to be replaced to correct any particular problem. As you are beginning to see by now, your money is best spent on diagnostics. Proper diagnostics expedites the repair process which will save you money in the end.

Go for its overall diagnostic check up.It is important to keep up with routine maintenance and repairs of your car by expert auto repair companies so you can save future costs.
