Get Reliable Battery and Charging System Services Today

A modern automobile, with its network of computers, electronic ignition, electronic fuel injection, electronic power steering, engine management computer, and, in the case of hybrids and EVs, the propulsion and control software themselves, all depend heavily on the electrical system.

For an automobile to run satisfactorily, the battery must apply 12 volts to the engine control module. Each electronic sensor around the engine, and there are sometimes 200, needs a stable operational voltage, which is always a portion of battery voltage. Wrong voltage ranges sent to the engine control unit can result in fuel injection, ignition timing, and valve timing errors, as well as mistakes in transmission gear selection, to name just a few. This can happen when the battery and/or the charging system are not functioning properly. For many shops, just knowing whether a problem is battery- or charging system-related is a daunting problem that ultimately will cost you time and more money.

At ASR, we understand the automotive, electrical, and computer systems. We understand how those systems integrate with your vehicle’s mechanical systems. This knowledge combined with a common-sense, logical, diagnostic process means that we will diagnose electrical problems other shops cannot even find, execute a repair, and have your car back on the road quickly, with less expense.

Signs Your Battery or Charging System Needs Attention

Modern vehicles rely on stable voltage to operate properly. When battery or charging system problems occur, they can affect everything from fuel injection to transmission performance.

• Engine cranks slowly or won't start
• Dashboard warning lights illuminate
• Headlights dim when idling
• Electrical accessories malfunction intermittently
• Corroded battery terminals or cables
• Battery is more than three years old
• Strange smells from under the hood

These symptoms indicate voltage issues that require professional diagnosis. We'll identify the problem's source, from the battery to the alternator or other charging system components.

Why Your Vehicle Needs Proper Battery and Charging System Maintenance

Your automobile's electrical system must deliver consistent 12-volt power to the engine control module and approximately 200 electronic sensors throughout the vehicle. Wrong voltage ranges can cause fuel injection errors, ignition timing problems, valve timing mistakes, and incorrect transmission gear selection. When batteries or charging systems fail, the resulting voltage fluctuations create issues that many shops struggle to diagnose correctly, costing you time and money.
