Starting/Charging
Starting & Charging
Problems with starting or charging could be caused by starter, alternator or battery failure. Our technicians can perform a series of tests to determine the cause and recommend what services your vehicle needs to fix the problem.
Our Starting and Charging Services Include:
Electrical System Test
Any diagnosis of the electrical system begins with a complete Electrical System Test. Our technicians will check the operating functions of key components that keep your vehicle's electrical system running properly, including:
- Alternator
- Starter
- Battery
- Battery cables
If our Electrical System Test finds a problem with any of these components, our experienced technicians can repair or replace them and get you back on the road with peace of mind.
