Electrical System Repair

The electrical system in your car is far more complex and sophisticated than in years past, and it needs to be maintained periodically for optimal performance. It is crucial that your car’s electrical system is inspected, maintained and repaired by professionally trained expert mechanics for the overall health of your car. 

Symptoms of an electrical issue can range from dim cabin lights to complete engine failure, and can leave you stranded if not dealt with properly.

An electric motor, called the “starter”, uses power from the battery to start the engine of your car. Problems or faults in a starter motor or solenoid could lead to an unresponsive car engine, leaving you without a functioning vehicle. Red’s Garage has all the tools and certified mechanics who are expert in diagnosing any kind of starter trouble and providing suitable electric repair. 

The alternator generates electricity to keep your battery fully charged while the engine is running. It also ensures that all electronic components of the car receive uninterrupted power supply. Alternator problems could cause a whining noise, burning rubber smell, dim headlights, and problems starting your car. The experienced mechanics at Red’s Garage provide complete inspection, replacement and maintenance as needed to get your car running smoothly on Port Chester roads.

Red’s Garage provides comprehensive electronic services which include:

Most modern cars have such powerful on-board computers that diagnosis and proper maintenance and repair requires state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Using these diagnostic computers, our certified mechanics ensure that not even a small fault is overlooked, and your car can get the maintenance and repair it needs. Computer diagnostics covers a wide range of auto components, and issues with transmission, engine, ignition, fuel injection, ignition coil power, RPM levels, temperature and coolant, camshaft, crankshaft, and throttle performance can be monitored and repaired. 

The Engine Control Unit, or ECU, is basically the brain of the engine, and controls its functions and performance. It regulates the amount of fuel sent to the engine, the air mixture in the fuel, emissions and much more. If your car is experiencing problems even when the starter, alternator, and the battery are working fine, it’s most likely that the ECU is at fault. At Red’s Garage, we run in-depth inspections and provide the best and most practical automotive solutions. Drop in to our Port Chester service center to check the performance of your engine controls. 

Most modern cars are equipped with software that helps manage the performance of the car. Manufacturers are constantly coming up with new tweaks and changes in the software to improve drivability, mileage, emissions, transmission and other components. It is important that your car’s computer is reflashed to update the software and improve its performance. 

For you to enjoy a safe and pleasurable drive, it’s important that the car’s acceleration is smooth and steady.
