Battery Replacement 

The most common electrical issue always occurs when a car stalls. If you are trying to start your vehicle and the car is not coming on, your battery is likely dead. At our shop, we can test your battery’s health and then determine if you need a new battery. It’s possible it just needed a jump-start, but if the vehicle has trouble with the battery holding the charge, you’ll need to replace it with a new one. You should also get your battery checked every maintenance check. Most car batteries last for 3-5 years. 

Malfunctioned Alternator 

Another problem would be a malfunctioning alternator. If the battery is not working correctly, it could have deeper troubles, such as the alternator failing. The alternator provides the power for the battery to start and conserve energy. A few signs your alternator is going out are if you hear a burnt rubber smell, vehicle stalling, grinding noises, and any warning lights coming on. 

Wiring Problems 

Depending on the necessary tools to rewire a car, it can cost up to a couple thousand dollars. If you have a wiring problem, the signs to look for are flickering lights, continuously blown fuses, and burning smells or signs of burning anywhere. Other electrical issues include a window not rolling up or down, doors locking and unlocking, or entertainment issues. Electrical problems are crucial for not only vehicle function but also safety. If you’re concerned about an electrical circuit, stop by our shop today. 

A few tips on how to prevent possible wiring problems are to take your vehicle for regular maintenance checks, if you start to notice any electrical issues, contact us immediately, start your car, and let it run for at least 15-30 minutes to avoid the wiring from going out(this is crucial during the winter time), and don’t overload your vehicle with a lot of aftermarket upgrades like a new stereo.
