What Is A Battery, Alternator and Starter Replacement?

Nothing is more irritating than a dead car. If your car doesn’t run, there’s usually a fault with the battery, the alternator or the starter. But how do you know which part of it is causing your problem? Both of these parts work together to control the engine, but it can be hard to know which component is at fault.

The safest place to begin your investigation is the battery. Batteries have a lifespan of 3-5 years, and will eventually discharge once its reached its end time. The simplest and inexpensive of the three pieces to repair, your engine will not work properly without a fully charged battery. Keep on the lookout for the signs of a defective battery.

A vital component of the vehicle’s charging system, the alternator can charge the battery while the motor is running and control the electrical system as well. The alternator generally lasts 8-12 years, but it’s not something that has to be replaced as much as other components. If the alternator dies, the battery will lose its power and the alternator will not be able to hold it charged.

Accountable for starting the engine as you turn the key or click the start button, the starter derives its power from the battery. It takes the energy to turn the engine over and start the car. Simple terms, without a correctly working engine, you’re not going anywhere.

  Called and set up an appointment because my wipers did not work and my driver's side window switch needed to be replaced. George was efficient right from the start. He set up an appointment and was right on time. The work was completed fast and accurate. I now have power window function and my wipers work . George is a total professional. Will definitely call him again for any more work on my vehicle. Thanks George ....much appreciated.

  Long overdue review. George Marji, the owner and auto mechanic, has done work on my car for the past 3 years. He first job on my car was removing and replacing the front brake pads and rotors. He then on a second occasion removed and replaced the defective starter motor. On a third occasion he removed and replaced the defective alternator. On a fourth occasion he removed and replaced the Evaporative Bypass Sensor. On a fifth occasion he removed and replaced the defective Canister Vent Solenoid. On a fifth occasion, he removed and replaced the left and right front coil springs. Only on this occasion, there was a minor issue when he said no alignment would be needed but the car when driving started to pull on one side, meaning alignment would have to be done. Further there as a groaning noise when turning the steering wheel before the replacement and he did not mention that it may be a problem with the strut mount. That required me to pay for the labor once again to remove and replace the defective strut mount on a sixth occasion that could have been done at no extra charge when replacing the springs. On that same occasion, I asked him also to replace a sway bar link. All the work was done professionally, he was polite, communicative, knowledgeable and usually on time. I have referred him to others and will continue to do so and use him in the future for my vehicle repairs.

  I highly recommend this company. Due to illness I was unable to drive my vehicle for 5 months. It remained parked in the underground of my condo and required a new battery. I called TMM and spoke with George who immediately gave me a quote so we arranged an appointment. He showed up on time, changed my battery and even checked my oil. He was such a nice guy and very professional. I stressed over getting this done for weeks, but he made it so easy! Thank you!
