Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it's the starter or battery?
If you turn the key and hear a click but nothing happens, it's often the starter. If the engine cranks slowly, it's usually the battery. I test both to be sure.
What are signs of a bad alternator?
Dimming lights, dead battery (repeatedly), warning light on dash, or whining noise from the engine. The alternator charges your battery while driving—if it fails, the battery drains.
Can you replace a starter in my driveway?
Most of the time, yes. Some vehicles have the starter in awkward spots that make mobile replacement impractical. I'll let you know before I start.
How long does starter replacement take?
Usually 1-2 hours depending on the vehicle. Alternators are similar. Some cars are quicker, some take longer.
Do you warranty the parts?
Yes. Parts come with manufacturer warranty. If something fails prematurely, we'll handle it.
