Mice, rats, and squirrels look for warm, sheltered places to nest, and the engine compartment of a parked car, truck, or RV is one of their favorites. Here in the foothills of Amador County, rodent damage is a common problem. Once they move in, rodents can chew through wiring, vacuum lines, hoses, and insulation, and they often build nests in the air filter box or cabin filter housing.
At Amador Automotive, our ASE-certified technicians use careful electrical diagnostics to find exactly what was damaged, then repair or replace it so your vehicle is safe and dependable again. We can also go over rodent deterrent options with you to help keep critters from coming back.
