Help! My car won't start!

When your battery is dead or even weak, your car may not start. We have you covered. If a jump start doesn’t engage the electrical systems in your vehicle, there could be a larger problem with your starter or you may need an alternator replacement. Each component of your starting and charging system is crucial to a properly functional vehicle. If there is one bad link between any two components, then you likely will not be able to go anywhere. Our experts are properly trained to diagnose this bad connection and get you back on the road.

What is the Starting and Charging System?

Slow cranking engines and dim headlights can sometimes point to a problem with your vehicle’s starting and charging system. Your vehicle’s starting and charging system is involved in regulating multiple electrical processes to start your vehicle's engine and keep it running. The starting system consists of the battery, a starter motor, and a starter solenoid responsible for starting the engine, while the charging system consists of an alternator and voltage regulator. The charging system is responsible for routing energy throughout the entire electrical process while sustaining the battery’s charge. The battery supplies the electric power necessary to start the vehicle. This process starts when you turn the ignition. Then, the starting system sends power from the battery to the starter solenoid to the starter motor, which turns the engine in order to begin the internal combustion process. The alternator powers the other electrical components in your vehicle while the regulator controls the voltage supplied to each component. The regulator also ensures that the alternator maintains the battery’s charge so that the entire cycle can continue.
