Electrical System

Typically 3–5 years, but extreme cold or frequent short trips can wear them out faster. If your battery is older and acting up, it’s worth having us test it.

It depends. Some issues—like a dead power window—might be inconvenient but safe. Others, like flickering lights or alternator problems, can be dangerous. If in doubt, get it checked.

This could be a weak battery or alternator that’s struggling to handle power demands. It’s a common early warning sign of charging system trouble.

Yes. Sensors and modules that control engine timing, fuel delivery, and emissions are all electrically managed. If they’re malfunctioning, your performance (and mileage) can suffer.

We use multimeters, diagnostic scanners, and good old-fashioned know-how to test circuits, read fault codes, and inspect wiring. Electrical issues are often hidden—but not from us.

It varies depending on what’s causing the issue. We’ll perform a thorough inspection and give you a clear, upfront estimate before starting any work.

Yes! Whether it’s a stereo, remote starter, or lighting add-on that’s causing trouble, we’re experienced in diagnosing and repairing both factory and aftermarket systems.

Yes. If your alternator isn’t charging the battery properly, your vehicle will rely solely on battery power—eventually draining it. A failing alternator can also cause flickering lights and electrical malfunctions.

This could be due to a “parasitic draw”—something in the car staying on (like a light or faulty module) when it shouldn’t. We can perform a parasitic draw test to pinpoint the culprit.

If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key or push the start button, or the engine cranks very slowly, your starter may be on its way out. Diagnostics will confirm the issue.

Unfortunately, yes. Rodents sometimes chew through wires, especially in colder months when they seek warmth in engine bays. If you’re seeing strange electrical issues, this could be the cause.
