Battery, Starter, & Alternator Repair in Montrose, CO

When your vehicle won’t start, it’s usually one of three things causing the trouble: the battery, the starter, or the alternator. These three components work together to power up your vehicle and keep it running. For dependable battery, starter, & alternator repair in Montrose, CO, you can count on America’s Auto & Tire to find the issue and fix it fast.

It All Starts with the Battery

Your car’s battery supplies the initial jolt of electricity needed to start the engine. If it’s dead or weak, you’ll hear clicking, notice dim lights, or experience a complete failure to crank. We’ll test your battery, clean the terminals, and replace it if it’s no longer holding a charge.

What the Starter Actually Does

Once the battery sends power to the starter, it turns the engine over. A failing starter might make a grinding sound, click without engaging, or simply do nothing at all. We’ll inspect the motor and solenoid to determine whether a repair or full replacement is the best option.

Don’t Overlook the Alternator

The alternator keeps your battery charged while your engine is running and powers your vehicle’s electronics. If your lights are flickering, your radio cuts out, or warning lights come on, your alternator might be the culprit. We’ll test its output, inspect the drive belt, and replace any worn or faulty components to keep your system charging properly.

Thorough Testing and Honest Feedback

We won’t just guess and swap parts—we run full diagnostics to isolate the exact problem. That saves you time and money. If it’s a minor fix like a loose wire or corrosion, we’ll handle it on the spot. If something larger needs attention, we’ll walk you through your options with no pressure.
