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.

After someone punched a hole in my gas tank over the holidays, Kevin and the team at Art of Maintenance helped me out. They were very professional and managed to replace the gas tank and return my truck to me the same day! I was not expecting such a quick turnaround, but it made the whole situation a little bit better.

I’ll absolutely go back to Art of Maintenance for other repairs.

Abbie Succo

Everyone was incredibly professional and informative. My car wouldn’t start so and AAA reccomended this shop as it was close to my house. They were extremely helpful and quick with serving my car! I was able to get detailed diagnostics and the starter replaced within 24 hours of dropping off my car. Highly reccomend!

I was downtown last weekend when my car suddenly started having problems. I was at a shop on NW 23rd and the car struggled to start. I finally got it started however it still sounded very strange. I puled out of the parking lot and started driving to find a local auto shop. Suddenly my car temp went to extreme hot in seconds. I knew there was an immediate problem. We got to the auto shop to find they were closed on weekends. Fortunately my friend with my had AAA and had my car towed to Art of Maintenance. They are AAA Certified and boy am I glad that first shop was closed.

Dan’s team quickly diagnosed my problem. The radiator fan was not reconnected after the starter was changed at another mechanic shop (to remain nameless) less than a month ago. Plugged it back in and I was good to go back to the Starlight Parade Festivities.

I have found my future mechanic!

You better believe I went to the nameless mechanic shop to get reimbursed for the diagnostic cost and will be visiting Art of Maintenance this weekend to give them all of my needed repair business.

Felicity Stewart

Kevin and his team at the Art of maintenance were awesome! They made sure I was kept in the loop of what was going on with my car during the repairs. They were very kind and just a great team to work with not to mention they got the repairs done in a timely manner. I will definitely be back next time I need work done and will be referring my friends and family to Kevin. Thanks again everyone!

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

The Art of Maintenance crew was so amazing to work with! This was my first time taking my car to them and they exceeded my expectations. They are friendly, timely and precise with their diagnosis of problems. They gave me a full detailed list of things that look good on my car, things that might need attention and things that are urgent to fix. This was so helpful for me and I never felt any pressure to do work on my car on things that can wait. I will definitely be coming back for my regular maintenance and any car needs! Thank you!

Becca Meierbachtol

These Guys took care of me after breaking down and did a fast diagnosis. Great place I’ll be visiting again when needed.
