5 Signs Your Car Needs a Charging System Test

If your headlights seem dim or flicker, it could be a sign your alternator isn’t providing enough power.

When starting your car takes longer than usual, your battery or charging system may be the culprit.

A lit battery warning light on your dashboard is a clear indicator of potential charging system issues.

If your battery frequently dies or requires jump-starts, it’s time to get your charging system checked.

Problems like malfunctioning power windows or radio could signal a failing alternator or battery.

I can’t say enough amazing things about these guys! I have brought my old s10 pickup to numerous places over the years and this is the ONLY place I will ever go to from here on out. Not only are James, Kevin and the entire team genuinely friendly and professional, they have fixed numerous issues that no one else had been able to diagnose. Not only that but they installed mud flaps and an old bulb for free since it only took them 20 mins, I mean what other shop cares about loyalty this much? Art of Maintenance is by far the best in town. Won’t go anywhere else!

Blake Smith

They got me in and fix my brake lights that were out and unsafe very professional and took very good care of me

Diane Scott

Great customer service!

DIABLA ELLA

This shop is pretty dang amazing. They definitely went above and beyond with following through with my repair needs. Engine mounts are so finicky, especially aftermarket ones. Long story short my Element is back and ready for camping in the wilderness. The E drives smooth as the day I bought it. Thank you guys for your determination to resolve anything that comes your way!

We’ve had our cars serviced here 3 times now and I continue to be impressed by their knowledge, timeliness, and communication about what is wrong. Great experience every time!

Erica Aten

Helpful in identitying the most important repairs, i felt listened to and was well informed of the diagnosis cost in advance.

Mackenzie P

I’ve been going to Art of Maintenance for about a year. It’s a nice clean shop and everyone I have talked to there was great. They seem to be honest – haven’t tried to talk me into anything I didn’t need. I haven’t had anything too major done there – oil change, windshield wiper repair, new brakes. So far so good!

Renee Landers

These guys are the best, excellent, friendly and super efficient service. We pretty much only bring our cars here!

Jenn Salati

I walked in to get a tire fixed with no appointment. Within 20 minutes they fixed my tire and didn’t charge me a penny. Totally cool folks who definitely know how to treat their customers and neighbors. I’m definitely going to hit them up next time I have a more serious auto issue.

Aaron Keuter

This shop is a gem. Runs on old school work ethic that is hard to find these days. Team is highly professional and communicative. I needed a quick tire patch. They took my car in same day despite their full and overflowing schedule given the upcoming memorial weekend. Now I can hit the road in time for my birthday trip safely and worry free. Thank you all so much!! Will be coming back for regular maintenance soon.
