How important are electrical systems in your vehicle? Very important, for all vehicles! Your vehicle's electrical system (battery, starter and alternator) is used to start your vehicle and keep it running. This also includes powering all the electrical components; like the radio and air conditioner/defroster. Think of the 3 main components like this: 1. Battery--the BEFORE of starting your vehicle. It keeps the electrical currents flowing before you start the vehicle. 2. Starter-- the DURING of starting your vehicle. It keeps power going to the flywheel, crankshaft and pistons. 3. Alternator-- the AFTER of running your vehicle. It provides the continuous charge, so your vehicle is able to get you where you want/need to be.

Have you given thought to the quality of your vehicle's headlights? Over time the surface, constructed with polycarbonate plastic, of headlights changes. Our vehicles are exposed to extreme weather and temperatures changes.

We can assist you with reconditioning the lenses and fixing and moisture issues.
