Personally I would pay more money for top rate electrical work than mechanical work...
Bolting things together is one thing... Stripping wires and knowing what does what and where is a whole other thing. A qualified mechanic who knows electrical really well will probably get work done much faster and better than a cheap mechanic. Saving you money now and in the long run..... This from a guy who's rewired his whole car twice.... |

Also looking for a top notch person to find an electrical problem would likely be booked up due to his abilities, high demand. Now on top of that living in the Bay Area where average homes can go for a million dollars. Remember our little cars are going on 50 years old wiring is most often brittle and cracking easily with people doing all kinds of modifications. In my past it seems wiring problems are often a bad ground or bad connection due to years of use age and neglect. I’d start by cleaning and reconnecting especially the ground strap. Good luck |
