Problems we track down
Help us find it faster: write down when it happens. Cold mornings, after rain, after sitting overnight. A timeline of the symptoms saves diagnosis time.
Battery dead after sitting
Something keeps drawing power with the key off. That is a parasitic drain.
Lights or accessories that quit
Wipers, washers or lights that stop working, often from corrosion at a connector.
Ignition problems
A car that won't start or stalls even after parts have been replaced.
Burned or damaged wiring
Wiring that has shorted, melted or been cut into during earlier repairs.

Common questions
More answers on the home page, or call the shop during hours.
How do you find a parasitic battery drain?
By testing the circuits with everything switched off to see which one keeps drawing current, then repairing that circuit. A list of when the battery dies helps narrow it down.
Do you work on every kind of car problem?
D&D focuses on starters, alternators, generators and electrical work. Call first and describe the problem. If it is outside what the shop does, Doug will point you to a good shop.
What should I bring?
The vehicle, plus a short timeline of the symptoms: when it started, when it happens, and anything that was replaced already.
