Electrical Systems in Cars

Your vehicle’s electrical system is made up of a complex network of circuits that create, store and distribute energy where it’s needed. One of the best ways to find out if your starter is bad is to have it tested at AutoTec. If it cranks at normal rpm under load, the problem is something else. Replacing the starter won’t fix your problem. If it fails to crank, the starter needs to be replaced. AutoTec can help to troubleshoot, repair and maintain your car electrical and starter systems.
