From a dead battery to complex wiring faults, Mike's has the diagnostic equipment and experience to find and fix electrical problems right the first time.
Modern vehicles are more electrically complex than ever — and electrical problems can be among the most frustrating to track down. Mike's Auto Services & Towing uses professional-grade diagnostic equipment to pinpoint electrical faults quickly and accurately, saving you time and unnecessary parts replacement.
Pennsylvania winters are hard on batteries. Cold temperatures reduce battery capacity significantly — a battery that barely starts your car on a warm day may leave you stranded on a cold January morning near Lake Wallenpaupack or up in the Poconos. If your battery is 3+ years old, have it tested before winter. Mike's tests batteries free of charge during any service visit.
If your car won't start but jumps fine and runs, your battery is likely bad. If it dies again shortly after jumping, your alternator isn't charging it. Mike's tests both systems accurately — call (570) 226-6040.
The check engine light can indicate dozens of different issues, from a sensor fault to a serious engine problem. We'll scan the codes, explain what they mean, and give you an honest estimate for the fix.
A battery draining overnight is called a parasitic draw. Something is pulling power when the car is off. Common culprits are a faulty relay, an interior light, or a failing alternator. We can trace and fix the draw.
Typically 3–5 years, but cold winters accelerate battery degradation. We recommend testing any battery over 3 years old every fall before winter weather hits.
