Warning Signs
Signs of an Electrical Problem
Electrical faults often start small and get worse. Have the system tested if you notice:
- Slow cranking, clicking or a no-start
- A battery that keeps going dead
- The battery or charging warning light is on
- Dim or flickering headlights
- Power windows, locks or mirrors that stop working
- Blown fuses or a burning-plastic smell
A dead battery is not always the battery. A failing alternator or a hidden drain can kill a brand-new battery in days.
Prevention
When to Test Your Electrical System
A quick test can prevent a breakdown:
- When your battery is three years old or more
- Before summer heat and long road trips
- After a jump start
- When a warning light comes on
- After any accident or water exposure

Customers Say.
I needed to replace the radiator in my 2016 RAM 1500 Big Horn. I went online and requested estimates from (4) local repair shops. Of the (4), two responded. Of the two, only one responded within 10 minutes with a phone call. It was MPB Auto Repair! They texted and emailed a price quote. I scheduled an appointment for the following week. The work was completed within 3 hours, as they promised! I've already referred (2) family members for Air Conditioning repairs. I highly recommend MPB Auto Repair!!!
I am very happy with MPB Auto Repair & Body Shop. They offer a free consultation and diagnosis. One of my wheel bolts came off or two and caused my car to become completely undriveable. I had to tow it in, and the team made the whole process completely headache-free. They quickly assessed the issue and were able to fix it the same day. There was only a small fee $95, and I truly felt it was excellent for the quality of service and speed of work provided. Side story, when my car broke down at the shopping center, a 2 dudes came saying they had a body shop can repair my car for $400 and stated if I bring to another place it could cost $1000 easy. So I’m super happy with this fractional charge! It’s a family-owned shop, and you can really feel the difference—everyone working there was kind, professional, and genuinely helpful. It was nice seeing the team working together so well. Even my fiancé has been coming here for consultations for a while and really trusts them. He’s not easy to impress, so that says a lot. Overall, I highly recommend them for honest, reliable, and efficient auto repair work.
Took my diesel Promaster in after having an engine and turbo lights come on and these guys diagnosed it, sourced the part and fixed it very quickly. They were very clear about what needed to be fixed and replaced the engine part very quickly in the shop. Now the van is running so much better! I would highly recommend these guys
Brought in my 2008 corvette and had the clutch and torque tube rebuilt with other little items and everything works properly now. Highly recommend them and they had great communication keeping me up to date.
Daniel and his crew did an outstanding job repairing my AC compressor, and changing my oil on my MB GLE-350. They went the extra mile to find the best compressor for my vehicle and completed the repair at a lower cost than the dealership. The work was also finished ahead of schedule, which I really appreciated. I'll be bringing my vehicles back for other service repairs and maintenance.
I've come here a few times because every single time they've done the job right and for a very reasonable price. Also they're very flexible so if something can be done later they'll say that it can be done later and they won't make you change it right away. They will also change any auto body parts which I've seen a lot of places not do. And they do so at a very reasonable rate. If you want a job done right and fairly mpb auto repair and body shop is the place to go.
Came here because my car had a radiator problem and it was leaking coolant. The guys looked at it, told me what was wrong, and fixed it the same day. Car drives good now and no more leaks. Price was normal and they didn’t try to add extra stuff. Good experience overall.
I turned to this auto repair shop on a friend’s recommendation after a car accident: the bumper, wheel rim, and suspension were damaged, and the car was not drivable. The team quickly took the car in, contacted my insurance company, and coordinated the entire repair without my involvement — which I really appreciated. The car was repaired quickly and with great quality. Thank you, guys, for your excellent service!
Absolutely amazing service! I brought my car in with an unexpected issue, and the team diagnosed and fixed it quickly and professionally. They were honest, transparent with pricing, and explained everything in a way I could understand. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly, and I felt truly taken care of. My car runs perfectly now. Highly recommend this place — it’s hard to find a shop you can trust, but this one definitely earned my trust!
Highly recommend great customer service and they did a great job on my audi
Uri and Tony provided excellent customer service. Their team was quick, efficient, and handled the repair smoothly. My 2018 Jeep Compass needed new headlight bulbs, which they ordered and replaced without any issues. I highly recommend their shop.

Electrical Repair Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
If the car starts after a jump but dies again soon, or the battery light is on while driving, the alternator is a likely suspect. A quick test of both tells you for sure before you buy parts.
It depends on the fault. A battery and charging test is quick; tracing a drain or a wiring fault takes longer because we follow the circuit until we find it. Every job starts with a free written estimate. We explain what's wrong and what it costs before any work begins. Call (279) 218-7797.
It is something that keeps drawing power after the car is off, such as a stuck module, a light or an aftermarket accessory. It slowly drains the battery overnight. We measure the draw and find the circuit causing it.
Yes. We also check the charging system so the new battery is not killed by a bad alternator.
Yes. One customer's 2018 Jeep Compass needed new headlight bulbs; we ordered them and replaced them without any issues.

Auto Electrical Repair in Rancho Cordova
What We Repair
Batteries, alternators and starters, parasitic drains, blown fuses and relays, wiring and connector damage, headlights and other lighting, power windows, locks and mirrors, sensors and warning lights. Electrical warnings, from sensors to window regulators, are a regular visit at our shop, including on European cars (see European car repair).
Testing Before Replacing
Electrical problems are where guesswork gets expensive. A new battery does not fix a bad alternator, and a new alternator does not fix a corroded ground. We test first, show you the result and quote the repair. Nothing is replaced without your OK.
Common Electrical Repairs We See
No-starts from a weak battery or worn starter, charging warnings from a failing alternator, batteries drained overnight by a module that never shuts off, corroded battery terminals and grounds, and lights or power windows that stop working because of a broken wire in a door hinge or a failed switch. Each one gets tested before anything is replaced.
Electrical Problems and the Check Engine Light
Many check engine lights on newer cars come from a sensor or wiring fault rather than a mechanical failure. Our check engine light diagnostics and electrical work go hand in hand. If your car will not start at all, we can arrange towing to our shop.
