Conversion projects are history rather than a current service. Public high-voltage scope does not advertise individual pack-module work. ## Repair-versus-replacement approach A warning message identifies a condition, not automatically the failed component. Electrified Garage uses an approved diagnostic scope to gather evidence, explain the findings, and present available repair, replacement, monitoring, or manufacturer-service paths. Diagnostic time is billed. Major work begins after customer authorization. ## Current operating locations ### Orlando, FL - Address: 6605 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL 32807 - Phone: (352) 354-9006 - Hours: Mon–Fri · 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Service context: Orlando, FL; Central Florida; Customers accepted from across the Southeastern United States - Location page: https://www.electrifiedgarage.com/locations/orlando-fl - Service request: https://app.shopmonkey.io/quote-request/4328f9b7f0565c537b16606a883cd304?noExternalScripts=1 ### Amesbury, MA - Address: 72 Elm Street, Amesbury, MA 01913 - Phone: (603) 665-0020 - Hours: Mon–Fri · 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Service context: Amesbury, MA; New England; Customers traveling from beyond the region - Location page: https://www.electrifiedgarage.com/locations/amesbury-ma - Service request: https://app.shopmonkey.io/quote-request/e89e08158684fc96d01b24b2959533d3?noExternalScripts=1 Orlando and Amesbury are the only current operating locations represented on the website.
