Power Window Switch Replacement

The power window switch works much the same as any other switch in the car. When you press down on the window button, it completes the circuit. Once the switch is closed power goes to the window regulator to move the window up or down.

Starter Motor Replacement

When you turn the key (or press the start/ stop button) magic happens… well nearly. What's actually going on behind there is thanks, in no small part, to the engine's starter motor. A starter motor is a small electric motor attached to the engine’s flywheel, which when engaged, helps turnover the engine until it fires up. This rotation is what bursts your engine to life. Once the engine is running the starter motor returns to its hibernated form, waiting for the next time you need to start your car.

Spark Plug Cable Replacement

A spark plug cable is a heavily insulated wire to stop rogue sparks or magnetisation. It travels from the ignition coil or distributor to the spark plug. It carries the 12V charge, that has been converted into a 22,000V charge, to the spark plug.

Battery Replacement

Your car battery is a large electrical storage device that is found within the engine bay. It is filled with electrolyte and lead plates, and is charged by the alternator. It is connected to the car's electrical system between the two attachment poles on the top of the battery. These are the famous ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ terminals. These allow the charge to be transferred through the vehicle to where it is needed and keep everything safe with a good ground.
