Modern cars now have a vast amount of computers to control many of the main functions of your vehicle. From convenience features like climate control, to essential functions like fuel injection, computers are now the brains of our cars and electricity is the pulse that keeps everything running smoothly.
Your car's charging system consists of three major components - the alternator, starter motor, and battery. The battery provides the initial kick the starter motor needs to get the car running. Once the car is running, your drive belt spins the alternator to generate electricity. The alternator maintains the charge in your battery so you can start up quickly every time.
When it comes to computers, the system is a bit more complex. From computers for specific functions to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) which acts as the brains for your car and all the wires in between, it's almost like our own neural-network. When wires and connections corrode, signals have difficulty getting transferred. We've found success in these situations by applying an electrical grease to improve the connection. Sometimes a problem lies in the computer itself, which will then need to be replaced.
No matter the issue, we welcome you to bring your car down for a free diagnosis and quote! We treat every customer like family, and work as efficiently as possible to keep our prices and your downtime to a minimum!
Our labor rate is a competitive $125/hour. Most auto shops nearby are charging over $150/hour.
Our diagnosis is free of charge! We'll determine the issue and inform you on the cost of repairs before you incur any charges. In some complex scenarios we may need to charge a fee for diagnosis, but will often use this as a credit towards your bill if you decide to make the necessary repairs.
We're happy to inspect your used car! We'll take a look at the brakes & suspension, tire life, front & rear end, rust & erosion, and finally we'll do a deep scan to see if there are any underlying issues. A used car check is $35 + tax.
If your car needs an oil change, inspection, has a flat tire or a bulb out we're happy to service while you wait. Please budget at least 20 minutes for flats & bulbs and 30-45 minutes for an oil change or inspection. For a complex diagnosis, please make arrangements to leave your car with us.
