Car Electrical

We examine your car's electrical system to make sure that the car battery, car starter and alternator are all running well.

Our Master Certified Technicians perform a charging/starting systems test on your vehicle. They test your battery for state of health, test for any electrical draw, test the alternator amperage output, and test starter and relay.

Car Batteries

The car battery enables the car to start. It's the power source of your vehicle encased under the hood. Sometimes batteries run low and can be charged through spark plugs. However, car batteries have a limited lifespan and typically last 3-5 years, depending on where you live and how you use your vehicle. Our electrical systems at McCorkendale Auto Service involve evaluating the car battery system and replacing the car battery and any other electrical parts as needed.

Car Starters and Alternator Tests

If your car won't start, it's often smart to check the car's electrical components: the car battery, car starter and alternator. If the headlights come on but the car won't turn over, you're looking at a possible issue with your car starter or alternator. At McCorkendale Auto, our mechanics can perform tests on your car starter and alternator to see if replacement is needed and diagnose any electrical issues occurring within your vehicle.
