Battery Testing & Replacement
When your car's engine is off, the battery provides the required power to the rest of the system, as well as during start-up (cranking). It also supplements the power from the charging system during periods of high demand.
The choice of battery depends on the size of vehicle and lifestyle. Cold cranking amps are measured to help you determine battery strength in the wintertime. Our technicians can help you choose the right battery for your vehicle and lifestyle. We can safely install your battery and get you back on the road.
Alternator & Charging Systems
This is the heart of the electrical system. It consists of three main components: the belt-driven alternator, electrical circuits and a voltage regulator.
The alternator supplies power to the electrical system and recharges the battery after your car has started. Just like it sounds, the voltage regulator controls the voltage, keeping it within the operating range of the electrical system.
Ignition & Starting System
This system consumes more electrical power than any other in your car. The starting system consists of three components which work together: the ignition switch, the starter relay or solenoid, and the starter motor. The ignition switch controls the starter solenoid, which activates the starter motor. The starter motor then turns the engine until your car starts.
