What we do
Our Starting & Charging Service
We test the battery, alternator and starter together, because a weak alternator can kill a new battery and a failing starter can look like a battery problem. You only replace the part that’s actually failing.

Battery & Charging FAQ
Starting & Charging Questions
How long does a car battery last in Edmonton?
Cold winters are hard on batteries; many last about four to five years. Testing before winter is the best way to avoid a no-start.
How do I know if it’s the battery or the alternator?
If the car dies while driving or the battery light comes on, suspect the alternator. If it won’t crank after sitting, suspect the battery. Testing confirms it.
Should I plug in my block heater?
Yes, on cold days. It makes starting easier on the battery and starter. We can check that your block heater works.
