The alternator charges your battery while driving. A failing alternator causes dim lights, dead batteries, and warning lights. We test alternator output and replace failing units.
If your car clicks but won't crank, or the starter grinds, the starter motor likely needs attention. We diagnose and replace starters to get you back on the road.
Corroded, chafed, or damaged wiring causes intermittent electrical issues that are hard to pin down. We use wiring diagrams and testing equipment to trace and repair wiring faults.
Blown fuses, burnt-out headlights, and malfunctioning tail lights are safety hazards. We diagnose the cause of repeated fuse blows and replace bulbs and lighting components.
Stuck windows and non-working door locks are common electrical issues. We diagnose whether the problem is the motor, switch, regulator, or wiring, and repair it accordingly.
Answers to common questions about electrical systems at A Plus Auto Shop.
A no-start condition can be caused by a dead battery, failed starter, bad alternator, faulty ignition switch, or fuel system problem. We diagnose the exact cause and provide targeted repairs rather than guessing with part replacements.
Most car batteries last 3 to 5 years, depending on climate, driving habits, and electrical demands. Extreme heat — common in Southern California — can shorten battery life. We recommend testing your battery annually after the 3-year mark.
Flickering lights usually indicate a charging system problem, often a failing alternator or loose wiring connection. It can also be caused by a weak battery or corroded ground connection. Have it diagnosed to prevent a breakdown.
Alternator replacement costs depend on your vehicle's make and model. We provide competitive pricing and a detailed estimate before any work begins. Call (818) 500-1939 for a quote.
