Auto Electrical Repair & Maintenance Services
Alternators
An alternator is a crucial automotive component responsible for converting mechanical energy into electric energy (alternating current). It plays a pivotal role in your vehicle's engine, and any malfunction can result in your car's breakdown. If you encounter issues with your car's alternator, it is imperative to seek expert assistance.
Batteries
The battery is the powerhouse that supplies electrical energy to vital automotive systems such as the ignition system, starter motor, and lights. If you find yourself needing a jump-start to kickstart your vehicle in the morning, it may be a sign that your battery is deteriorating.
Depending on the extent of damage, a failing battery can either be repaired or replaced. If you are experiencing battery-related issues, do not hesitate to contact us in Indianapolis, IN. We offer convenient battery testing and replacement services, designed to swiftly get you back on the road. From battery replacement and charging to installation, testing, and recycling, we cover it all.
Starters
The starter serves as the motor, whether electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic, responsible for initiating the operation of your internal combustion engine. Starters are vital components within your car's engine, and any malfunction can lead to your vehicle's failure to start.
In the event of starter problems, it is crucial to seek professional assistance. Our team of experts is well-equipped to handle all your starter-related needs efficiently, ensuring you can resume your journey promptly. Visit A & A Tire and Auto Service today for expert starter services.
Battery FAQs
What are mistakes made when jumping a car?
Mixing up negative and positive cables is the most common mistake. When you mix up the negative and positive cable it ruins your car's alternator. Just remember black to negative and red to positive. Other common mistakes are using cheap cables that don't conduct properly, letting the cables swing and become detached, touching the clips together, and ignoring cracks in your battery or dirty battery terminals.
What should I be careful of when changing a car battery?
It may sound obvious but be sure that you do not drop the battery. Be careful not to let the tools touch both the negative and positive terminals simultaneously, as it could create a spark, cause the battery to short out, or even damage the vehicle's electrical components.
Make sure to separate the cables to the side so that they don't touch the battery until it is in place. Attach the negative cable first and then the positive cable. If have any doubts while you are trying to change your battery you should always call in an expert.
Car Starting FAQs
How do I unlock my steering wheel?
Place your foot on the brake and turn the wheel in the direction in which it has a little range of motion. This should ease the tension in the steering column and allow you to turn the key. Turning the key unlocks the steering wheel. Do not try to unlock your steering wheel without a key or if the battery is dead. This should only be done by a professional auto repair technician.
What does a dead starter sound like?
Clicking noises upon turning the key are a classic sign of starter failure. However, this isn't the only clue. A dying starter might remain completely silent or offer subtle warnings through whirring or grinding sounds before finally giving up the ghost.

What Our Customers Are Saying
This repair shop went out of their way to try and fix my car. When they realized I have a problem that needs a dealer part they were upfront and did not charge me anything, even though this took time for him to diagnose. He even got the top up on my car so it wouldn't get wet. I will be back to this shop for any repairs I need in the future.
I haven't even retried my vehicle, which will be done today, but I already know the job will be A+. I've been bringing our fleet to John for a couple years now and I can say he's always my first choice for auto repair. I love his prices they are fair, his work is always right, and how he treats everyone the same. I always feel welcomed. What I love most is he's honest. If he can't do it, he'll tell me up front and often recommend who can. Thanks so much John. I truly appreciate your services.
Once again John at A & A comes through for me and my car. Thank you! We like to keep our car nice and running well. He was able to replace my tire and have me back out running real quick. Support our locally high quality businesses like A & A!
I brought my BMW in because the front end was shaking violently at higher speeds. John hooked me up with a new control arm and was very pleasant and professional. The price was good and he got me in and out in the same day. Being from California I was not sure if I would get the 2nd class treatment. No sir, not at this fine establishment! I will be back! Oh also, no more front end shake. They know what they are doing. He even showed me the bad part....it was on life support.
