Fast Starts. Strong Charging. No Guesswork.
If your vehicle is slow to crank, the dash light pops on, or accessories are acting up, we’ll pinpoint the cause. We test the battery and charging system, clean connections, and recommend the right fix—whether that’s a new battery, a cable repair, or an alternator-related issue.
What We Check & Handle
- Battery health test (capacity and starting performance)
- Charging system verification (alternator output and voltage regulation)
- Terminal cleanup and anti-corrosion treatment
- Cable, clamp, and ground inspection
- Replacement with correct-fit battery (standard or AGM where required)
- No-start diagnostics when symptoms point elsewhere
When to Have It Checked
Batteries often fall in the 3–5 year range, but lifespan varies with heat exposure, driving patterns, and vehicle electronics. Consider a check before road trips, after repeated jump starts, or anytime starts become inconsistent.
Common Symptoms
- Slow crank or delayed start
- Intermittent no-start
- Dash battery/charging light
- Headlights dim at idle
- Electronics glitching or resetting
- Corroded terminals or loose clamps
- Burning smell near battery area
- Battery case looks swollen

Battery & Charging FAQs
Will a battery test tell me if my alternator is bad?
We check both. A weak battery can cause starting issues, and a weak alternator can fail to recharge the battery. Testing helps separate the two.
Why does my car need a jump start after sitting?
Common causes include an aging battery, corrosion at terminals, a parasitic draw, or a charging problem. We’ll test and offer the best repair for each issue.
What does the battery/charging light mean?
It typically indicates the charging system is having some sort of issue (often alternator, belt, wiring, or connection related). It’s worth checking soon.
Do you handle AGM batteries?
Yes, in many cases. We’ll match the correct group size and specs your vehicle requires and install it properly.
Can corrosion cause starting problems?
Absolutely. Corrosion and loose connections can add resistance and reduce available power. Cleaning and securing the terminals can make a big difference.
