Our Specialty
Auto electric is in our name for a reason.
Today’s cars run on dozens of computers, sensors and miles of wiring. When your car won’t start, the lights flicker or the battery keeps dying, you need a shop that actually tracks down the cause instead of throwing parts at it. That’s been Skip’s bread and butter for decades.

- Alternators & charging systems
- Starters & no-start diagnosis
