Took my burnt/shorted out Ural Gear Up starter motor there. Within a week they had completely rebuilt it - I don't think it's ever cranked/started so fast. I didn't expect them to also clean the housing and stuff so at first glance I wasn't sure if they gave me back my own starter it looked so clean! Can't really speak to pricing as I'm no expert/don't get automotive electrical work done all the time. It fell within my expected range.

Can I give 6 stars? This place is awesome! If you have to replace an alternator or starter just bring it to these guys. They will make it better than new for a reasonable price. Can't say enough good things...nice pepple too!

I have been working with Buchanan Electric for 22 years with our mid size bus company. Their work and pride guarantee is unmatched. The team of Hank, Jared and Dave have been the best over the years. We look forward to working with them for years to come.
