Battery Start & charge
Your vehicle’s battery is the heart of the start and charge system, supplying the power to crank the engine and keep your electrical systems running. At JJ’s Garage, we offer fast battery testing and replacement, using reliable options suited to your vehicle. We also check charging levels to make sure the battery is functioning as it should, not just temporarily holding a charge.
If your car is slow to start, showing dashboard warnings, or losing power unexpectedly, we can pinpoint the issue and get you moving again.
alternators
A faulty alternator can drain your battery and cause electrical problems like dim headlights or malfunctioning accessories. We test alternator output, check for worn components, and repair or replace units where necessary. By addressing alternator issues early, we help prevent breakdowns and extend the life of your battery and electrical system.
Our goal is to restore reliable charging performance and ensure your vehicle stays powered up wherever you drive.
starter motors
Starter motors are crucial for getting your car moving, and when they fail, you’re not going anywhere. Symptoms like clicking noises, slow cranking, or no response at all can point to a failing starter. Our team inspects and repairs starter motors quickly, using quality components for lasting performance. Whether the issue is electrical or mechanical, we’ll diagnose it accurately and get your car starting smoothly again.
ignition
Ignition problems can make starting your car inconsistent or cause it to misfire while driving. We diagnose faults in coils, spark plugs, and related wiring, repairing or replacing parts to restore dependable performance.

Ignition repairs are often linked with start and charge issues, so we check the whole system to ensure your fix is complete, not just temporary. This keeps your car running reliably and reduces the risk of future breakdowns.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car battery needs replacing?
Common signs include the engine turning over slowly, dimming headlights, electrical malfunctions, or a dashboard battery warning light. If your battery is older than three years, it may also be nearing the end of its life. A professional battery test can measure voltage and cold cranking amps (CCA) to determine whether it needs replacement.
How long should a car battery last?
Most car batteries last between 3 to 5 years, but this can vary depending on usage, climate, and driving habits. Short trips, extreme temperatures, and infrequent use can reduce battery life. Regular testing can help avoid sudden failures and unexpected breakdowns.
Can a bad alternator cause battery problems?
Yes, a faulty alternator can drain a healthy battery or prevent it from charging properly. If your battery keeps going flat, even after replacement, it may be due to the alternator, voltage regulator, or another issue in the charging system. It’s important to test the entire system, not just the battery.
