Question 1

Can an old car alarm still be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. When the module itself still works and the problem lies in the wiring, a contact or a sensor, repairing is usually the least invasive solution. That becomes clear after diagnosis, not beforehand.

Question 2

When is replacing better than repairing?

Accepted Answer

When the module is defective, parts or remotes are no longer obtainable, or when the existing installation is structurally poorly done. In that case, repairing only keeps treating symptoms.

Question 3

Why does an old car alarm go off by itself?

Accepted Answer

Usually due to moisture, oxidation on connections, a sensor that has become too sensitive, a door contact that sticks, or voltage drop from a weak battery. The pattern (weather, timing, location) helps find the cause faster.

Question 4

Can a GPS tracker be fitted in a classic car?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With a classic car, the power supply and power consumption are the main points of attention, because the vehicle often stands still for long periods. The placement is also chosen deliberately.

Question 5

Can you inspect an existing alarm system?

Accepted Answer

That's usually the starting point. The installation, the wiring and the operation are mapped out before anything is replaced.

Question 6

Can you come to my location?

Accepted Answer

For many diagnoses and installations, yes. More complex work is better done in the workshop. What makes the most sense in your case will be discussed honestly.

Question 7

Can a new alarm be installed without fully dismantling the interior?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. As little as possible is dismantled, with attention to panels, clips and trim that are no longer available new.

Question 8

Can you identify an unknown aftermarket alarm system?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. The module, the wiring, the siren and the way it was installed generally reveal what type of system we're dealing with and how it was connected.

Question 9

What if the original wiring has been modified?

Accepted Answer

That's the rule rather than the exception with classic cars and youngtimers. The existing situation is mapped out and, where needed, restored to a logical, maintainable setup.

Question 10

Can you also solve vehicle electronics faults?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parasitic drain, earth faults, lighting, relays, switches and the effects of earlier installations are all part of our everyday work.
