Starters & Alternators

The starter and alternator play key roles in the function of your vehicle. If your car is suffering from starting trouble characterized by a loud click noise, it may be time for a new starter. The alternator is responsible for supplying electricity to power equipment throughout the car and keep the battery charged. Common signs of alternator trouble include issues operating power seats or windows, dim or flickering headlights or difficulties using the radio.

Intoxalock System Installation

Nevada is a state well-known for tourism, and for providing a relaxing atmosphere to any visitors. While that relaxation often involves drinking, Nevada is not relaxed when it comes to DUI laws. There are a variety of penalties for drunk driving, and they increase if there are multiple offenses. Nevada allows some DUI offenders to regain their driving privileges if they install an ignition interlock device (IID) approved by the state. Ignition interlock devices prevent offenders from starting their car without first taking a breath alcohol content (BrAC) test. If they do not pass, they will be unable to start their vehicle.
