Electrical problems can be some of the trickiest issues to figure out, and that’s where we come in. At Fox River Tire & Auto, we’ve been helping drivers in St. Charles and across the Fox Valley since 1965. Whether it’s flickering dash lights, a battery that keeps dying, or a car that won’t start at all, we know how to get to the root of the problem.

Your electrical system touches nearly every part of your vehicle, and when something’s off, it can cause real headaches. That’s why we use professional-grade diagnostic tools to pinpoint the issue quickly. No guessing, no unnecessary parts, just clear explanations, honest answers, and a fix you can count on.

Our ASE-certified technicians work on a wide range of vehicles, so no matter what you drive, we’ve got the expertise to keep it powered and performing like it should.

Advanced Diagnostics for Accurate Answers

We use both Autel and Snap-On diagnostic scanners in our shop tools that help us dig deeper into your vehicle’s electrical system. These scanners give our ASE-certified techs a detailed look at what’s going on under the hood so we can pinpoint problems accurately.

Whether it’s a failing battery, a faulty sensor, or a wiring issue, we’ll find the root of the problem and walk you through the solution, no confusion, no unnecessary repairs, and no pressure.

Common Electrical Issues We Handle

Electrical issues can come in all shapes and sizes. Here are just a few of the problems we help with every day:

Battery or Charging Issues

If your car won’t start, the lights dim while driving, or your electronics act sluggish, there could be a problem with your battery, alternator, or charging system.
Those lights are your vehicle’s way of saying something’s wrong. Whether it’s a check engine light or another symbol, it often points to an electrical system concern that needs attention.
When power features suddenly stop responding or work intermittently, chances are there’s a wiring issue, a faulty switch, or a failing component behind it.
Flickering headlights, brake lights that stay on, or interior lights that won’t turn off can all signal an issue within the electrical system.
Today’s vehicles rely on dozens of sensors and control modules to run efficiently. If something is off, like diminished fuel economy or abnormal shifting, we’ll trace the issue to its source.
