Test before you replace
Not every no-start is a bad battery. Loose or corroded terminals or a weak alternator can look the same. We offer battery testing and replacement, and alternator replacement.
Battery and alternator replacement
If the battery is done, we can install a new one that fits your vehicle. If the alternator is not charging, it can be replaced. Heat is hard on batteries, and South Florida summers shorten battery life, so an older battery is worth testing before it leaves you stranded.
Battery maintenance
We also offer battery maintenance. Checking the battery, its terminals and the charging system now and then is a simple way to catch a weak battery before it leaves you stuck. Ask us to look at an older battery during your next visit.
