Engine Starter Motor Service

When your vehicle’s engine starter motor begins to fail, you will notice that cold starts might be harder, or sometimes it might not have enough power to crank the engine over. Also, you might experience no cranking symptoms that randomly go away, which indicates the electrical component of the starter motor might be on its way out. If your vehicle is having any of those symptoms, you should book a service appointment to confirm that the starter motor is bad and have it replaced before it leaves you stranded.

Alternator Check & Replacement Service

Another critical component of your vehicle’s electrical system is the alternator, which charges your battery as you drive, making it one of the most essential parts to keep in good working condition. As mentioned before about the starter motor, the alternator is also an electrical component that might not fail immediately, showing signs of weakness before entirely failing. You can have the alternator checked for performance during a service visit, which gives you a good idea of whether it’s still generating enough voltage to support your vehicle’s electrical needs.
