Are you facing any Car Starting Problems?  Let our Mechanic inspect your Starters and Alternators!

Let us check your Starters and Alternators!Can you depend on your vehicle to start when you turn the key in your ignition?  With their advanced equipment and specialized training, our ASE-certified technicians can service and repair your auto electrical system, including starters and alternators.

Do you know the 3 Major Components of the Auto Electrical System?

  • What is an Alternator? It produces your vehicle's electricity and maintains the charge in your battery storage.  Without it, your electrical accessories (such as the ignition and engine control systems) would fail to operate.
  • What is the Starter? – This is small but important; the motor turns the engine crankshaft through the flywheel, igniting the combustion process.
  • What is the purpose of the Car Battery? – The battery stores the electricity that starts the engine and powers the electrical accessories.

Because we recommend that a vehicle’s auto electrical system only needs to be inspected about every two years, it's easy to forget about it until you have starting problems.  Please don’t wait until you notice problems with the alternator, starter, or battery to let us check out your vehicle as part of car service.
