Reliable Starting & Charging System Repair
Your vehicle’s starting and charging system is what brings your engine to life and keeps electrical components operating while you drive. When any part of this system weakens or fails, you may find yourself stranded — often without warning. At By The Book Diesel & Auto Repair, we provide precise diagnostics and dependable repairs to ensure your vehicle starts strong and stays powered.
A weak battery, worn starter motor, or failing alternator can cause symptoms like slow cranking, dim headlights, dashboard warning lights, or intermittent no-start issues. Rather than guessing, our technicians use advanced testing equipment to pinpoint the exact cause and prevent unnecessary part replacement.
Complete Start & Charging System Diagnostics
We thoroughly inspect all critical components:
Battery Testing
We perform load testing, check battery health, inspect terminals for corrosion, and ensure your battery is properly rated and capable of consistent performance.
Starter Motor Service
If your vehicle clicks, cranks slowly, or doesn’t start at all, we test the starter motor, solenoid, and related circuits to determine whether repairs or replacement are needed.
- Alternator & Charging System: A failing alternator can drain the battery while driving. We test charging output, belt condition, connections, and voltage regulation to ensure your electrical system stays stable.
- Parasitic Draw Testing: If your battery repeatedly dies overnight or after sitting, we track down hidden electrical drains from modules, relays, or accessories that aren’t shutting off.
