While we use the same parts as dealers do, we also have some advantages over taking your vehicle to a dealership for an alternator repair. For instance, we are authorized to work on a wide range of cars, and are not constrained, unlike the dealers. This means we can work on any car model, and even smart cars. This means never having to change shops when you change vehicles.

Starter Repair & Alternator Diagnostics

Your technician will hook up a diagnostic device to the starter, alternator and battery to determine which of the components are causing your vehicle’s symptoms. Your tech will compare the readout on the display to the manufacturer’s service limits to determine the faulty part. Once your technician finds the cause of the problem, the proper starter or alternator repair services can be completed.
