Starter and Alternator Repairs in Long Beach, CA

The Go-To Place When Your Car Won't Start — ACA Automotive

Is your car having trouble starting? Has your battery lost its charge? These could be indications that your car may have starter or alternator problems, especially if your battery is relatively new. Ignoring the problem will lead to car troubles ranging from a “slow” start to a car that doesn’t start at all. If you think you might have a problem with your alternator or starter, the Long Beach auto repair experts at Advanced Computer Automotive can quickly diagnose the issue and perform the repairs quickly and at a fair price.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs to Be Serviced

Review the symptoms below to determine if your vehicle needs some form of auto electrical service:

Dead Battery – Dead batteries occur more commonly in winter months, but they can happen anytime lights are left on without the car running. A jump-start is an immediate fix, but you should still have it inspected to see if it needs to be replaced

Dimming Lights – If your vehicle's lights (exterior and/or interior) are dimming periodically, it usually suggests an electrical issue. If your alternator isn’t properly working, your battery won’t be able to keep a charge strong enough to run the car’s lighting system.

Warning Lights – Most of us are afraid of the warning lights on our dashboard, but they're actually our friends. If your “check engine” light or another warning light comes on, your car is informing you that something needs immediate attention.

Sight, Sound, & Smell – If your engine is making strange sounds, you should have it checked as soon as possible. Notice a burning smell? That may mean electrical connections are overheating, a sign of a serious electrical circuit or fuse malfunction.

Broken or Loose Electrical Connections – A single broken wire or connection can lead to a number of electrical malfunctions. Sometimes reconnecting a fuse or connection can restore life to your car, but you should never put off having your car inspected.
