In short

The most common electrical faults affect starting, the battery, lighting and audio and video systems. A diagnosis with the right equipment finds the fault without replacing parts blindly.

The most frequent ones

Starting problems.
Battery not charging or draining.
Interior and exterior lighting faults.
Faults in audio and video systems.

Diagnosis before repair

In a modern vehicle the electrical system is essential. That is why we diagnose with state-of-the-art equipment and give you a detailed estimate before starting any work.

Prevention is possible too

With regular maintenance, many electrical problems are detected before they become bigger faults.
