Battery, Starter & Alternator Repair
The number one winter breakdown around here is a weak battery. A quick charging-system test now saves a dead start at 10 below.
Quick answer
How do I know if it's my battery, starter, or alternator?
A slow or clicking crank usually means the battery or starter; a battery warning light, dimming lights, or a car that dies while running points to the alternator. We test the whole charging system to tell them apart, so you replace the right part the first time.
What's included
- Free battery and charging-system test
- Battery replacement, including diesel dual-battery setups
- Starter and alternator replacement
- Cold-weather reliability check

What customers say
“Stranded with a broken pitman arm, I had it towed in around 1pm. The mechanic stayed late to finish the job so I could get back on the road to California that evening. Above and beyond.”

“On my 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, Kyle and Cole prioritized the right repairs to keep it on the road instead of upselling me. Real expertise.”

Frequently asked questions
Usually 3 to 5 years, less in extreme cold. We test it free so you can replace it on your terms instead of after a no-start.
Either it is worn out, the alternator is not charging it, or something is drawing power with the car off. We test for all three to find the real cause.
