An Auto Electrician, Not A Parts Swapper
Mark Haddock spent nine years as the electrical diagnostic tech at a Richmond dealership, the one the other techs called when a car had been through three new batteries and still wouldn't start. He went mobile because most electrical faults don't need a lift, just the right meters and the time to test. We only do auto electrical work, and we show you the reading before we replace anything.
- ✓ASE-certified in electrical systems
- ✓Tested before anything is replaced
- ✓Old parts and readings shown to you
Test First, Then Fix
Electrical faults are where guessing gets expensive. Every visit follows the same four steps.
Scan
We read every module with a full scan tool, not just the check engine light, and note what's stored.
Measure
Battery, charging and starting systems load-tested, and voltage drops checked on the cables and grounds.
Trace
We follow the fault to the wire, connector or part that's causing it, and show you the reading.
Fix And Retest
Repaired, retested and the codes cleared, so you can see the problem is gone before we leave.

The Small Stuff That Shops Push Back
A headlight that flickers, a power window that quit, a trailer plug that never worked. Shops often book these a week out because they take testing time. We come to your driveway, find the switch, bulb, connector or broken wire, and fix it the same visit when we carry the part.

- ✓Power windows and door locks
- ✓Trailer plugs and wiring
Won't Start? Call Before You Tow
Most no-starts are a battery, a cable or a starter we can test and fix where the car sits, for less than a tow and a shop visit.
Fixed The First Time
Two shops replaced my battery and the car still died every few days. Haddock tested it in my driveway, found a glovebox light that never switched off and fixed it in an hour.
My truck clicked and wouldn't start in the office lot. He tested the starter, the cables and the battery before quoting, and had a new starter in before my lunch break ended.
Every warning light on my dash came on at once. Turned out to be a corroded ground wire. He showed me the green crust on the old one and charged me for a wire, not a computer.

Mobile Auto Electrician FAQ
What does a mobile auto electrician do?
We find and fix the electrical side of your car: no-starts, battery drain, charging problems, wiring, warning lights, lights and accessories. We do it where the car is parked, so it doesn't need a tow.
How much does a diagnosis cost?
Our diagnosis visit starts at $129 and covers the trip and the testing. If you book the repair with us, it comes off the price.
My battery is new. Why does it keep dying?
Usually something stays on with the car off, like a module, a light or an aftermarket accessory, or the alternator isn't charging. We measure the draw and find the circuit.
Can you fix it on the spot?
Most battery, starter, alternator, fuse and wiring repairs, yes. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you the price and the day we'll be back.
Do you work on hybrids and EVs?
We work on the 12-volt systems of hybrids and EVs. High-voltage battery and drive repairs go to the dealer.
Can you come to my work?
Yes, if the lot allows it. Leave us the keys or meet us at the car, and we'll text you the result.
