Hutcherson Auto Electric | Qualified Electrical Repair in Tampa, FL

Our electrical inspection is a comprehensive diagnostic process. We start by testing your battery, then move to the charging system, focusing on your alternator and starter. Using specialized equipment, we check for proper voltage output, identify any parasitic drains, and assess the health of your cables and connections. This thorough approach helps pinpoint the exact issue, whether it's a failing alternator on your truck or a starter problem on your marine engine, ensuring we recommend only the necessary repair or rebuild.

Absolutely. This is a core part of our service. Instead of searching for a discontinued part, we specialize in rebuilding the existing alternator or starter. We source or machine the specific components needed, often restoring performance to better than original specifications. For unique demands, we can also custom-build a high-amp alternator with the appropriate cables. This service is ideal for classic cars, commercial trucks, agricultural equipment, and marine applications common in the Tampa area.

While our primary expertise is in automotive and marine electrical systems, we understand how vehicle needs intersect with home electrical capacity. A common local issue is overloading a home's breaker panel when adding high-demand equipment like an electric vehicle charger. We recommend consulting with a licensed residential electrician for the home wiring and panel work. However, we can be a valuable resource for inspecting and ensuring the vehicle-side charging port and related systems are functioning correctly, providing a complete picture of your EV setup.
