Electrical System FAQs
How long do car batteries last?
Most car batteries last 3-5 years, depending on climate and driving habits. Extreme heat and cold accelerate battery aging. We recommend testing your battery annually after 3 years to prevent unexpected failures.
How do I know if my alternator is bad?
Signs include dimming headlights, dead battery after driving, battery warning light, strange noises, or electrical accessories failing. We can test your alternator’s charging output in minutes to determine if replacement is needed.
Can you jump-start my car?
Yes! If your car won’t start due to a dead battery, we can jump-start it. However, if your battery keeps dying, there’s an underlying problem – either a bad battery, failing alternator, or parasitic electrical drain. We’ll diagnose the root cause and fix it permanently.
