What We Diagnose & Repair

No-Start Diagnosis

We verify power, ground, and signal — then isolate whether the issue is battery, starter, ignition, relay, wiring, or module-related.

Battery Testing & Replacement

Load testing, charging system check, and correct replacement — including proper battery registration guidance when applicable.

Starter & Alternator

Cranking/charging tests, voltage drop checks, and replacement when needed — so it starts strong and charges correctly.

Parasitic Battery Drain

Battery dies overnight? We measure draw and identify the circuit causing the drain (modules, lights, accessories, wiring faults).

Warning Lights & Electrical Faults

We scan and verify with testing — not just codes. We confirm the cause before recommending repairs.

Wiring, Grounds & Connections

Corrosion, loose grounds, damaged connectors, and broken wires cause weird problems. We repair the root issue.

Electrical & Starting FAQs

Why does my car click but not start?

Often low battery power, bad starter, poor connections, or voltage drop. We test the full starting circuit.

Is it the battery or the alternator?

We load-test the battery and measure charging output under real conditions to confirm the true cause.

Why does my battery die overnight?

That’s usually a parasitic draw. We measure current draw and isolate the circuit causing the drain.

How long does electrical diagnosis take?

Many issues can be diagnosed the same day. Complex wiring faults can take longer — we keep you updated.
