Battery, starter and alternator in Repentigny

At minus twenty, a weak charging system is unforgiving. We test all three parts together.

A battery that dies in January was already weak in October. The test takes a few minutes and can be done during an oil change. We load-test the battery, check the alternator with the engine running, and test the starter, because from the driver's seat, their failures look a lot alike.

Frequently asked questions

Is it the battery or the alternator?

If the car starts after a boost and then goes flat again, or the battery light comes on while driving, it's often the charging system. Only a test of all three parts confirms it, and it takes a few minutes.

How long does a car battery last in Quebec?

Our winters shorten its life. Past four years, a battery is in its risk zone: have it tested every fall, even if it shows no signs.

Should I replace my battery before winter?

Not automatically. We load-test it: a healthy battery gets through winter, but one that's already slow to start in October probably won't.
