Expert Services and Advice

Need your car diagnosed because it will not start? Are there problems with your electrical system? Or have you been jump starting your battery more often? We can help with accurate electrical system testing and battery replacement.

FAQs

If the battery or check-engine light comes on, your battery and electrical system needs to be diagnosed, if:

  • When starting your vehicle, the engine cranks over slower than normal.
  • You find yourself in constant need of jump starting your vehicle.
  • An overheated battery can emit a rotten egg or sulfur smell.
  • White/silvery powder like material around the battery post.

Each vehicle is different, but we typically find a vehicle’s battery lasts between three to four years before it needs to be replaced.

Your battery powers your vehicle’s electrical systems and more importantly, provides the energy to start your vehicle’s engine. Depleted batteries may put you in the awkward of position of your vehicle needing to be jumped frequently or might not have the power to start your engine. Routine battery inspection should be performed to give you peace of mind and confidence that your vehicle will start when you need it to.

Protect Your Investment

Purchasing a warranty option for your tires offers invaluable peace of mind. It means that you're safeguarding your investment against unexpected damage, wear, or manufacturer defects that might occur during the tire's lifespan. With a tire warranty, you can often get replacements or repairs at little to no extra cost, saving you money in the long run. It's a smart way to ensure that you're driving on reliable, high-quality tires without worrying about unforeseen expenses should issues arise.
