Battery & Electrical Service in Detroit
Won't start? Battery light on? Clicking when you turn the key? Testing and replacement while you wait.
Battery, alternator, starter
We test the whole charging system: battery condition, alternator output under load, starter draw. You get a printed result so you know exactly what's failing.
Battery replacement is typically 20 minutes. Alternator and starter replacements vary from an hour to half a day depending on the vehicle.
Electrical diagnosis
Parasitic draws, dead circuits, flickering lights, accessories that stop working. Auto electrical is its own specialty. We have the tools and the patience to trace it instead of throwing parts.

- Battery or alternator light on dashboard
- Clicking sound when turning the key
