Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it's my battery or my alternator?
If your car starts fine but dies while driving, it's more likely an alternator issue. If it won't start at all or cranks slowly, the battery is usually the culprit. Our technicians test both during every battery service call.
Do I need to reprogram anything after a battery replacement?
Some vehicles require resetting the power windows, radio presets, or other electronics after a battery change. Our technicians handle this as part of the service.
What battery brands do you use?
We use high-quality, reliable batteries that meet or exceed your vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Ask us about warranty options when you book.
