Diagnostics for Starting and Charging System Failures
Dead Battery? No Crank? We Fix It Today – Guaranteed.
Electrical problems often mimic each other, making precise diagnosis essential. Our service goes beyond simply replacing a component; we conduct a full system analysis to ensure the new part won’t be damaged by an underlying issue. We handle all three critical components of the charging and starting system:
- Alternator Service: Diagnosis of clicking, squealing belts, or the battery warning light coming on. We test the alternator’s output and replace worn regulators or the entire unit with a high-quality replacement.
- Starter Repair: Diagnosis of clicking or grinding sounds when turning the key. We service the starter motor, solenoid, and related wiring to ensure immediate, reliable engine cranking.
- Battery & Wiring: Full testing of the battery’s health and cold-cranking amps, and inspection of all battery cables and wiring connections for corrosion and shorts.
Our Hyannis, MA, experts ensure that all repairs meet or exceed OEM specifications, restoring your vehicle’s ability to reliably start and power all accessories on Cape Cod.
