What this repair is

Power-steering trouble announces itself as a whine, a groan on turns, heavy steering, or a red-brown puddle. Most repairs land on the pump or a pressure hose; the fluid is flushed with the job. The spread in prices reflects which part failed — a hose is the cheap end, a pump on a tight engine bay the expensive one.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $138 and $490, it's inside the range where half of all real Jeep Grand Cherokee repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1.7 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
