Why diagnostics first?

Replacing a battery without data often masks alternator or starter faults. Our workflow uncovers the real failure before you spend a cent.

  • • Midtronics digital load test
  • • Alternator ripple & voltage drop
  • • Starter draw & cabling check
  • • Written report for warranty claims

Critical benefits

Digital Load Testing

Midtronics-grade testers simulate cold cranking amps to surface hidden failures that a multimeter cannot detect.

Starter & Alternator Health

Voltage-drop analysis confirms whether slow cranks are caused by a weak starter or a failing alternator.

We document every test so you can process manufacturer warranty claims without friction.
