Common Battery Replacement Issues We Fix
Dead or Weak Battery
Car batteries typically last 3-5 years in Texas heat. We test your battery's condition and replace it with a properly sized, high-quality unit that handles our hot summers.
Slow Engine Cranking
If your engine is slow to start, your battery may be failing. We diagnose whether it's the battery, starter, or alternator causing the problem before recommending repairs.
Battery Warning Light
A dashboard battery light often indicates charging system problems. We test your entire electrical system to identify whether you need a new battery, alternator, or other repairs.
Corroded Terminals
Corrosion on battery terminals can cause starting problems and electrical issues. We clean terminals or replace batteries with corroded posts as needed.
Electrical System Issues
Dim lights, failing power windows, or erratic electronics can indicate battery problems. We diagnose and fix electrical issues related to battery and charging system failures.
Frequent Jump Starts
If you're constantly needing jump starts, your battery is likely failing. We'll test your battery and charging system to determine the cause and provide a lasting solution.
