Charging & Starting Repair That Comes to You
The alternator and the starter cause similar-looking problems, so the first job is figuring out which one it actually is. We test the charging and starting systems on-site so you don’t pay to replace the wrong part, then handle the repair right where your car is parked.
Alternator vs. Starter — the Signs
- Alternator: battery light on, car dies after a jump, dim or flickering lights, a whining noise.
- Starter: a single loud click with no crank, or nothing at all when you turn the key.
- Either one: the car cranks slowly or intermittently.
- A burning smell or a grinding noise when starting.
What It Costs in Columbia
An alternator or starter replacement typically runs about $130–$255+ depending on your vehicle and the part. We test first and quote before we start.
