Alternator Test & Repair - Replace Car Battery

The battery provides the initial charge your vehicle needs to start. Once your vehicle is running, the alternator kicks in to power the electrical system, which includes radio, lights, and horn. Issues with electrical accessories can indicate that you need to replace your car battery or need to test and/or repair your alternator.

Symptoms to look out for:

  • Battery light is on
  • Accessories (radio, heater, lights, etc.) falter
  • Vehicle fails to start or is slow

We can diagnose and repair electrical system issues and replace your car battery, do car electrical repair, alternator test and repair, and more.

 

Batteries & Electrical FAQs

How do I know if my battery is failing?

Dim headlights, slow engine crank, or electrical issues can all signal a weak battery. Fountain Tire provides quick battery testing and replacement.

Do you test alternators and starters?

Yes. We diagnose the full charging and starting system to pinpoint issues before replacing parts unnecessarily.

How long does a battery last in Canada?

Extreme temperatures shorten battery life — most last 3–5 years. Have your battery tested each fall before winter starts.
