A power tailgate or liftgate is a convenient feature that simplifies loading and unloading your vehicle, especially when your hands are full. At Apex Automotive in Gilbert, AZ, we understand how frustrating it can be when this system stops working. That’s why your personal mechanic, David Jr., specializes in precise diagnostics and expert repairs for electric tailgates. Leveraging deep electrical expertise and advanced diagnostic equipment, David Jr. approaches each repair with a diagnostic-first mindset—no unnecessary parts replacements, just targeted solutions.
Electric tailgate systems combine mechanical elements like motors, latches, and hinges with complex electrical components such as sensors, wiring, and control modules. Arizona’s intense heat can accelerate wear and cause batteries within the system to fail within 2 to 3 years, adding to the challenges of keeping your tailgate functioning reliably. Problems can manifest as a tailgate that won’t open or close properly, intermittent operation, or complete failure to respond.
David Jr. uses wiring diagrams, multimeter and oscilloscope diagnostics, and circuit-level troubleshooting to identify the root cause of your tailgate issues. Our thorough diagnostic process communicates directly with the control module to retrieve error codes, then tests individual components—motors, sensors, switches, wiring harnesses—to pinpoint exactly where the fault lies. This systematic approach ensures repairs are precise and effective.
Once the problem is identified, we provide you with a clear explanation and a detailed, honest quote before any work begins. We believe in transparency and avoiding the “parts cannon” approach that wastes your time and money. When replacement parts are needed, we use only high-quality components to guarantee a long-lasting, reliable repair.
By appointment only, Apex Automotive offers a personalized, professional service experience you can trust. Call David Jr. at (480) 588-2250 to schedule your electric tailgate repair and get your liftgate working smoothly and safely again.
