Scan tool code reading, live data, a visual inspection and electrical testing, to find out what is really wrong.
Inspections
A pre-purchase inspection before you buy a used vehicle, a multi-point inspection of your own, or a check of your car and golf cart before you leave for the season.
Parts: OEM or OEM-equivalent, with a 30-day warranty on parts Eric supplies. Prices and policies.
Tractors and mowers
Eric also works on tractors, riding mowers and lawn mowers, gas or diesel. Call or text with the make and what it is doing.
What still needs a shop
Full alignments and other work that keeps a vehicle on a lift for a long time, bodywork, frame work, paint and some transmission rebuilds are better done in a shop. Eric will tell you honestly if your job is one of them.

What is it doing?
When a car won't start
- Nothing at all, or one click, and a dim dome light: most likely the battery, especially after the car sat a week or two.
- Rapid clicking or grinding, but the lights and radio work: that points to the starter.
- It started, then died again soon after: usually the alternator.
Eric tests the battery, starter and alternator right in your driveway.
When the check engine light comes on
- Steady: something needs attention. It is usually safe to drive carefully to get it checked soon.
- Flashing: stop driving as soon as it is safe. It often means a misfire.
- A loose gas cap is one of the most common causes. Tighten it; if the light stays on after a day or two of driving, it is something else.
His professional scan tool reads the code and the live data behind it, so you know what the light means before anything is replaced.
When the brakes make noise
- A high-pitched squeal is often dust or glazing on the brake parts.
- Grinding usually means worn parts are touching metal they shouldn't.
- A spongy pedal, or one side grabbing harder, is worth a look soon. Brakes are not one to put off.
Eric checks brakes where the car or golf cart is parked.
When a golf cart won't go
- Look at the battery terminals. White, blue-green or crusty buildup is very likely the problem. Don't scrape it with metal or pour anything on it.
- Clean terminals and still dead: a weak cell, the solenoid connection, a tripped breaker, or on older carts the charger.
- Florida heat drains cart batteries faster while they sit.
Most of it is fixed right in your driveway.
Before you buy a used car
- Have Eric look it over before you pay.
- He can meet the car where the seller has it.
Tell Eric what's going on
- What the vehicle is doing, and when it started.
- Where it is parked.
- A photo of the problem helps.
