A reliable vehicle starts with a strong and healthy electrical system. At 616 Auto Repair, we specialize in complete starting, charging, and battery services to keep your car dependable in every season. Whether your vehicle is slow to start, your battery light is on, or you’re hearing unusual clicking noises, our certified technicians diagnose the issue quickly and provide the right solution the first time. With advanced diagnostic tools and years of hands-on experience, we ensure your vehicle receives the exact care it needs.
Your car’s electrical system includes three major components—the battery, the starter, and the alternator. When even one of these parts begins to weaken, you may notice symptoms like dimming headlights, slow engine cranking, dashboard warning lights, or occasional stalling. Many drivers assume the battery is the only problem, but often the issue is deeper within the charging system. That’s why our team performs a full-system inspection rather than just replacing parts unnecessarily.
Complete Battery Services
Batteries lose power over time, especially during Michigan’s cold winters and hot summers. At 616 Auto Repair, we provide professional battery testing, replacement, and installation. We offer high-quality, long-lasting batteries designed for optimal performance, whether you drive a compact car, SUV, truck, or fleet vehicle. If your battery is draining quickly, we can also check for parasitic draws, corrosion, or faulty wiring that may be reducing its lifespan.
Starter Inspection & Replacement
If your engine cranks slowly, clicks, or doesn’t turn over at all, your starter may be failing. Our technicians can quickly identify whether the starter motor, solenoid, or electrical connections are causing the issue. We use trusted replacement parts that deliver reliable, long-term performance so you can start your car with confidence every time.
Alternator & Charging System Repair
Your alternator keeps the battery charged and powers essential electrical components like headlights, dashboard electronics, and climate control systems. When the alternator fails, you may notice dim lights, a burning smell, or electrical accessories shutting off unexpectedly. At 616 Auto Repair, we conduct a full charging-system test to determine whether the alternator, voltage regulator, or drive belt needs repair or replacement. Our goal is to restore reliable charging power and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
