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.

Not cranking or dying out? We test and replace on-site.

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.
