Your vehicle's electrical system is very vast. It is responsible for any actions, including powering accessories such as automatic windows, the radio, and power seats. But the electrical system has a much more important function as well.
The battery, ignition, starter, and alternator work together to start the vehicle and keep it running. If any of these parts fail, you'll quickly find yourself unable to get the vehicle started. At A-1 Auto Tech, Inc., our technicians can quickly identify the root cause of the trouble and get you back on the highway in no time. When you have starting trouble or need another auto electric service in Mountain View, CA, give us a call and schedule an appointment right away!
One of the most common causes of starting trouble is a dead battery. Vehicle batteries tend to last for 3-5 years and require replacement on occasion. However, a battery may also die due to accessories being left on with the key in the on position, leaving the lights on, or other issues such as a stuck relay. If the battery is drained due to one of these problems, it can usually be recharged by completing a jump start.
Starting problems can often be attributed to the starter motor or the alternator. If you turn the key and hear a series of clicks or single loud clicking noise, there is a good chance the starter has failed. A rattling noise that occurs while the vehicle is running may be caused by a loose belt on the alternator, ultimately leading to its failure. If your vehicle is becoming hard to start, head to A-1 right away! We are an auto repair shop with the training and expertise to keep your car starting and running right.
