Every year, vehicle electrical systems get a little more complicated. These days, many cars on the road contain up to a mile of wiring, running throughout every corner of the vehicle. With all those wires, there’s bound to be an issue at some point; Kevin's Auto Repair in Huntsville, AL is here to help you recognize a potential electrical issue, and know what to do about it.

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

Failed engine mounts are an irritating issue to live with causing your car or truck to vibrate and you don't know why. At Kevin's Auto Repair in Huntsville, AL, we can help, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive and it is an easy issue to detect on a test drive.

There are a few indicators your engine mounts need to be replaced. For one, you can do a visual inspection, if they’re accessible enough - if they looked cracked, smashed, or dry-rotted, it’s probably time for new ones. If the engine visibly shakes while it’s running, engine mounts are also likely the culprit.

5 star rating from Candace C. for Kevin's Auto Repair on Google

After getting ripped off from two other shops we gave Kevin's a try. After spending $800 for all kinds of parts from the other guys we learned that we had the wrong spark plugs. You might get it cheaper from a shade tree mechanic, but if you want it done right with a warrantied part from an honest company go to Kevin's!!! - Jeremy C. (5 star review on Yelp)
