Specialty & Diagnostics

Most car part stores will scan your check engine light for free and probably also have a part in stock that is closely related to the trouble code they just recorded from your vehicle.  At that point, most people can fix their cars themselves.  Not surprisingly, this is the axiom of most auto mechanic shop operations as well.  So why do such a large number of them have so much trouble with communication, timelines, and comebacks?

Diagnostics are the proverbial line in the sand that separate the part swappers from the authentic professionals.  There is an uncommon term employed by those in the fold; "Diagnostician".  As Diagnosticians, we are the ones that other shops call in a panic when they are on the third customer return for the same complaint and can't figure out the issue.  We are the ones who back-test both the failed and the replacement components.  We are the ones that can explain both the failure and the fix with data recordings and oscilloscope traces.  We are the ones who look forward to our failures just so we can learn from them.  We are the ones by which the professionalism of our industry is modeled but rarely duplicated.  When no one else can triage your car, it's ok, it happens.  Bring it here. 

At this shop, we pride ourselves on a range of high-quality electrical auto services and skill to match.  This allows us to address everything from basic check engine light diagnostics to complex electrical system repairs:

• Comprehensive Diagnostics:  Using cutting-edge tools, technology, and techniques, we identify the root causes of any electrical issue, from minor sensor glitches to major wiring problems or computer failures. 
• Wiring and Circuit Repairs:  From diagnosing wiring shorts to replacing damaged connectors, our team handles intricate wiring issues that other shops might disregard or avoid.
• Electrical Component Testing:  We triage and repair or replace all types of electrical components, from  CAN communication networks and integrated electrical systems, to faulty alternators, starters, fuses, and relays.  Our proactive approach enables the prevention of  costly future repairs.
• Battery and Charging System Health Checks:  We assess the present condition & general health of your battery, alternator, and starter, ensuring your car’s power system operates flawlessly.
• Advanced Sensor and Module Calibration:  Modern vehicles rely on advanced, or smart, sensors and control modules.  We can program and recalibrate these systems to ensure peak performance.
• Automotive Software Updates and Computer Reprogramming:  We can keep your vehicle’s software up-to-date and troubleshoot any module malfunctions, another necessity in today’s computerized vehicles.

When you trust your car to us, you’re trusting a team that values professionalism and precision.  We are the Diagnosticians who measure our success by solving the issues others couldn’t.  When no one else can triage your car, bring it here.  We’re ready to give your vehicle the attention it deserves.

Intermittent issues are the most vexing of enigmatic puzzles and are the bane of any mechanic's existence.  These are electrical or drivability problems that only occur intermittently, making them especially challenging to trace.  This can include issues with dashboard lights, power windows, or infotainment systems that randomly cut out or malfunction.

We must understand, only when a vehicle deviates from its originally designed function, can an issue be traced down.  While I'm happy to take your money to test your vehicle, the simple truth is, if it is not broke, I cannot fix it.
