Alternator, Starter & Car Battery Replacement Services
Alternators
An alternator is an automotive device that converts mechanical energy to electric energy (ac). Alternators are important parts of your car's engine and their failure would translate to your car's failure. When your car's alternator develops problems, seek expert help. At Barnett Auto Repair, we have experts who can handle all your alternator needs to get you back on the road - quickly. Visit Barnett Auto Repair today.
Batteries
The battery supplies electric energy which powers the ignition system, the starter motor, and the lights of an automotive. If you need to jump-start your vehicle in the morning, your battery could be failing. When a battery starts deteriorating, it can either be replaced or repaired - this will depend on the severity of the damage. If you are having issues with your car battery, contact Barnett Auto Repair in Long Island City, NY. We provide a convenient battery testing and replacement service to get you back on the road. Battery replacement, charging, installation, testing, and recycling - we handle it all.
Starters
A starter is a motor (electric, hydraulic or pneumatic) that rotates the internal combustion engine to initiate the engine's operation. Starters are important parts of your car's engine and their failure would translate to your car's failure. When your car's starter develops problems, seek expert help. At Barnett Auto Repair, we have experts who can handle all your starter needs to get you back on the road - quickly. Visit Barnett Auto Repair today.
Battery FAQs
What are common mistakes when jumping a car?
The most common error is reversing the jumper cables-always connect red to positive and black to negative. Using low-quality cables, letting clips touch, or jumping a battery with visible damage can cause serious electrical damage. When in doubt, have Barnett Auto Repair perform the jump safely.
What should I be careful of when replacing a car battery?
When replacing a car battery, avoid touching both terminals with the same tool-it can cause a short. Don't drop the battery or reconnect cables before it's securely in place. If you're unsure, let our technicians handle your car battery replacement professionally.
Car Starting FAQs
How do I unlock a locked steering wheel?
Press the brake and gently turn the wheel in the direction it moves slightly while turning the key. This relieves pressure in the column and allows the wheel to unlock. Never force it-if the battery is dead or the key won't turn, consult a professional technician.
What does a failing starter sound like?
Common sounds include a single click, grinding, or even silence when turning the key. These signs often indicate a starter issue that requires immediate inspection and service.

Testimonials
Susan M.
I have been a customer for 18 years and continue to be impressed by the competence, honesty, and kindness of Buddy and Andre. Yesterday I got in a minor collision and Buddy was so supportive as I made an hour's worth of phone calls to my insurance company from his phone! They value excellent customer service above all else. A true gem of a company...so rare in the auto repair world.
