CAR BATTERIES & CHARGING SYSTEMS

We Help Keep Your Car Powered -- AutoStream Car Care Center

When vehicle owners think about what powers their vehicle, many of their first thoughts go to the engine, and understandably so. But one major system that many owners don’t think about is the battery and charging system. Compromised of the alternator and battery, this system helps power the electrical systems and functions found in your vehicle. From your A/C to the engine, there isn’t much that isn’t affected by the performance of the battery and alternator.

At AutoStream Car Care Center, we make sure your car’s battery and charging systems are performing properly. Our shop in Maryland, is home to experienced ASE Master Certified technicians and inspectors that can handle any problem you may be experiencing, from a failing alternator to an underpowered battery. When you schedule a service with us, know that you’ll be working with professionals who can bring the best out of your car’s electrical systems.

Car Doesn’t Start Properly

When you turn the key or push the button, you expect the engine to start immediately. If it takes a few extra seconds to start the car, or if the car doesn’t start at all, there may be something wrong with the battery. The spark plugs utilize the battery to send a spark to the air-fuel mixture and start your vehicle. Without a functioning battery, your car won’t start, so we recommend you visit us to see if the battery must be recharged or replaced.

Dim Headlights

Do you feel like your car’s headlights are a little dim? If so, there may be something wrong with your car’s electrical systems. This is usually caused by a low-charged battery or faulty diodes found in the alternator. This can be dangerous to drive with, especially on dark and rainy nights. Make sure you visit a professional to accurately determine what’s going on.
