    My 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland fried the alternator which caused damage to the battery and the Power Control Modulator. At my trusted shop all parts were replaced including a repaired PCM however engine codes continued and the vehicle was taken to a Jeep dealership to get a new factory PCM. The replacement occurred however the trouble codes continued. The dealership then diagnosed a faulty cam shaft to be the issue with a replacement estimate of 9000 dollars. Shocked and of the belief the issue to be electronic and not mechanical I bailed my truck out of the dealership after paying a 800 reassembling bill. After researching ******* electronic car repair I found Lo Cost Auto Electric Ltd that had incredible ****** reviews that were long standing and consistent. I met the owner operator **** in his humble shop of 30 years in ***** who then dedicated hours of analysis and testing with schematic electronic diagrams and determined the issue to be two loose ignition coils and one improperly plugged in intake temperature sensor. **** single-handedly did what a team of dealership technicians could not do and successfully identified and repaired the legitimate issues. As someone who clearly had my interests in mind he single-handedly saved my vehicles worth from a parts supplier to one worth not only its true monetary value but to me emotionally as only its second owner. Not to mention the 9000 dollars on a dealership egregious mistake that if I allowed I would never have known the difference of but assuredly have made me much poorer. *****, great accolades and an incredible appreciation to **** who is the epitome of dedicated quality and experienced electronic vehicle repair who on this occasion saved my ****. Take your vehicle electric issues here you will save stress and a ton of money on a job done right. I will never forget my experience here.
