Battery & Electrical
A car that will not start is not always a bad battery. It can be a charging fault that keeps flattening a good one, or a starter that has given up. We test the whole system first, so you replace the part that actually failed.
What the job involves
- 1Load test the battery and check the terminals and cables for corrosion.
- 2Test the alternator's charging output with the engine running.
- 3Check the starter's draw, and look for anything draining the battery with the car switched off.
- 4Replace what failed, fit a battery of the right size and rating, and reset anything that needs it after a power loss.
When you need it
If any of these sound like your car, bring it in and we will look at it.
- The engine cranks slowly or just clicks
- The battery or charging warning light is on
- Headlights dim at idle, or the electrics act up
- You keep needing a jump start
Summer heat is harder on batteries than winter. In Sacramento a battery that is three or four years old is worth testing before a long trip.
