Auto electrical & A/C service
in Edmonton
Battery dies overnight, dashboard Christmas tree, A/C blowing warm in July — our auto electrical and A/C service in Edmonton traces the actual fault through the wiring, not the parts catalogue.
Electrical faults, traced not guessed
Electrical problems are where guessing gets expensive fast. A car that kills batteries overnight usually isn't a bad battery — it's a module that never sleeps, a corroded ground, a trunk light that lies. Priya's specialty is exactly this: milliamp-level parasitic drain testing until the culprit shows itself.
On the A/C side we do the full system: vacuum, leak-down with dye, recharge to spec, compressor and condenser replacement. If the air is warm in July, we find out why instead of just topping it up so it dies again in August.
Batteries, alternators, starters, wiring repairs, module programming, lighting, heated-seat fixes, block heater circuits — yes, we test those too, and in Edmonton that last one is a survival feature.

How we chase an electrical fault
Milliamps and wiring diagrams — the unglamorous work that actually fixes it.
When does it happen — overnight, after rain, only cold? Intermittent faults leave patterns; we write yours down.
All-module scan, battery and charging test under load, grounds checked with a voltage-drop test.
Fuse by fuse, milliamp by milliamp — the drain narrows to one circuit, then one component.
Repair the wire, replace the module or clean the ground — then re-measure to show the drain is gone, in numbers.
For A/C: leak test with UV dye, vacuum held to spec, recharged by weight — not "until it feels cold".
Photos of the corroded connector or the guilty module, plus the before/after measurements.
The invisible faults we find
Corrosion, sleepy modules and leaking O-rings — small things, big symptoms.
Electrical faults: trace vs replace
| Fast Car Service | Dealership | DIY / guess-and-replace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Method | Measure until proven | Correct but slow | New battery, then alternator, then… |
| Drain diagnosis | from $95 | $200+/h booked out | weeks of jump starts |
| A/C recharge | by weight + leak test | same, pricier | can from the store — leaks again |
| Proof of fix | Before/after readings | Verbal | Hope |
