Your alternator is a central component on any engine. The alternator is responsible for powering anything electronic on your vehicle, including the coils that fire your spark plugs (unless it’s a diesel). At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we know a bad alternator when we see one - here’s how you can spot one too.

Diesel engines are known for their durability, but even the best engine has to be replaced every once in a while. At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we want you to be aware of signs that your engine is about to call it quits.

If you drive a lightweight car, truck, or SUV, the torque converter you have installed is probably just fine. For those of you with more heavy duty applications, like high horsepower setups or towing rigs, the stock converter may not be enough. At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we can help with that.

Amazing customer service!! I took my wife's 2016 lexus 200t in for warranty work because they were one of the approved shops on the list I had. The rental car company dropped the ball so the owners wife personally drove my wife to work in Rincoln Valley and picked her back up because they got the job done in the same day!! All of this at NO CHARGE to us!! I am an auto tech myself and checked their work and they did a GREAT job!! Only reason I didn't do it myself because it was under warranty. VERY impressed and would highly recommend this shop!! - Kevin W. (5 star review on Google)
