Expertise

I am interested in answering questions regarding power window problems. Most typically those inquires will involve problems with window regulators, window motors, and window switches.

Experience

I have been repairing window problems full time for over seven years. I have repaired most all types of problems in the majority of domestic and import vehicles newer than 1988.
