Electrical Repair

Did you know that there are many, many miles of wiring in your VW and your car is equipped with countless fuses, relays, electronic sensors, electric pumps, electric fans, multiple computers as well as the entire charging and starting system?

Electrical problems can be complicated to diagnose and locate. Sometimes they are as simple as changing a fuse. If you have some kind of electrical malfunction, let us at Kotter's save you from much wasted time and agony. Let us locate the problem for you.

Vehicle Lighting

Is your VW running around with one eye closed? (headlight burnout) Do all your brake and tail lights work? Any of these non-functioning lights could get you a fix-it ticket from the police. Here at Kotter's VW we can quickly replace any of these light bulbs while you wait. We do interior lights as well. Call us today!

Headlights

Are your head lights fogged up? Do they look like they have cataracts? Do you not see the road as well at night anymore? Well, replacing those head lamps can cost $200 each or more for parts and require extensive removal of the front end of your car, adding even more $$ to the cost of the replacement.

Let us at Kotter's do a restoration for about $85. You will see the road better at night (safety first) and your VW will look better too. Call Kotter's today if you want to see and look better too.

Power Windows

Do your power windows not work at all or is there some crunching and grinding going on? Don’t get stuck in the rain in an unfamiliar place with one of your windows stuck in the down position. Let us diagnose the problem and provide you with an estimate.

Wipers

This is a simple one. We don’t get a lot of rain here in California. So what happens is our wiper blades sit in the sun and bake or rot all summer long. Then the first rain comes along and you turn your wipers on and you can’t see a thing. This can be especially bad at night.

You can inspect your own wiper blades if you want. If they feel dry or are coming apart, then give us a call and set up an appointment to have a set of new premium Bosch wiper blades installed (labor free) before the rain comes.

Batteries

Your battery is the heart of your electrical system. The computers, the lights and the starter on your Volkswagen are very dependant on a good battery. Batteries can last 4-6 years. However when they get older, just a change in the climate from hot to cold or cold to hot can kill your battery overnight.

We at Kotters VW Service only install Interstate brand batteries. They come with a great nationwide warranty. So if you haven’t had the battery on your VW checked in a while, then call us soon. We can acid and load test your battery while you wait and install a new interstate battery if needed.

Starters and Alternators

Does your engine crank slowly or does the starter make funny noises? Does your battery seem to go dead all the time? Is the charge light glowing on the dash? Maybe your alternator is weak and is not recharging the battery properly. We can quickly diagnose starting and charging problems. We only use original equipment rebuilt brands like BOSCH & VALEO.
Call us today for an appointment!
