So when you are having vehicle electrical issues, pay particular attention to when the symptoms are appearing. Can you make the problem happen for us? What driving conditions are you in; rain, accelerating, braking, using power accessories like air conditioner or interior lights. When you begin experiencing trouble with your electrical and electronic systems, ask yourself these questions:
- How often does this problem occur
- how long does this problem persist?
The more information you are able to provide to our staff during an electrical and electronic systems service, the quicker we will be able to recreate the same conditions, and ultimately hone in on the exact problem using our strategy based diagnostics.

All of these little clues will help us get to the root cause of your electric problems and fix them fast. No observation is too small, this includes noting whether the problem happens intermittently or all of the time and whether there have been recent repairs somewhere else.
The electrical system is fundamental to a vehicle’s operation and gives power to an array of parts including the alternator, starter, and battery. Each vehicle’s electrical system has its own nuances based on its age, make and model. Some newer vehicles have a complex computer system that interacts with vehicle functions including sensors, brakes, steering, and more. Troubleshooting these electrical components often requires the use of an advanced diagnostic tools, which we have in house, along with skilled technicians that know how to use them effectively.
When to Have Your Auto Electrical System Serviced
There are a number of red flags that indicate the need for a servicing of your vehicle’s electrical system. If you try to start your car and you hear grinding, clicking, or no sound, it’s time to call a technician and schedule an appointment. The average car battery lasts between three and six years. Therefore, you should replace your car’s battery after four years to be on the safe side. If your vehicle’s dashboard lights do not illuminate properly, the electrical system is likely malfunctioning. Another indicator of a potential electrical system issue is if your vehicle’s headlights darken as you drive at low speeds.
