Starter, Alternator & Battery Repair in Daphne, AL

Starter, alternator or battery?

• A click but no crank: often the starter or a bad connection
• A slow crank, especially in the morning: often a weak battery
• Battery light on, or dim and flickering lights: often the alternator
• A new battery that dies again within days: often the alternator, or something draining power with the car off
• A whine that rises with engine speed: often worn alternator bearings

Why testing matters: these symptoms overlap, so guessing gets expensive. A new battery won’t fix a bad alternator, and it’ll be dead again in a week. We test before we replace.
