Advanced Electrical Diagnostics and Repair

Alternator

Your alternator sends power to the electrical parts of your vehicle and creates the current that recharges your battery.  A loose belt can result in lower output which will slowly run down your battery.  At Scott’s Automotive, we will check your belt as part of our oil change service.  Ideally, your electrical system should be checked every spring.  Watch for poor light functionality or frequent bulb replacement, that beloved “Check Engine” service alert, or, of course, a weak battery, all of which could indicate poor alternator productivity.

Battery

Your battery powers the starter and ignition and pretty much anything else the alternator can’t sufficiently supply.  Our skilled technicians will check your battery during every oil change service.  We recommend replacing your battery approximately every three years.  For your convenience, we stock most name-brand batteries.

Starter

When prompted by the ignition switch, your starter will force the internal parts of your engine into motion, and then rests until the next time you start your car.  Along with your alternator, we recommend you have your starter checked each spring.

Other electrical components of your vehicle include, but certainly are not limited to: power windows, power steering, headlights and other exterior lights, windshield wipers, and your defroster all of which we are certified to repair, replace, and maintain.
