A car battery is an essential component that stores electrical energy and provides the power needed to start the engine. It supplies electricity to the starter motor, which turns the engine over, and also powers electrical systems like lights, radio, and air conditioning when the engine is off. The battery is recharged by the alternator while the engine is running, ensuring a constant power supply.

Over time, car batteries can lose their ability to hold a charge, and may need to be replaced to ensure reliable vehicle performance.

An alternator is a crucial component in a vehicle’s electrical system that generates electricity to charge the battery and power electrical systems while the engine is running. It converts mechanical energy from the engine's rotation into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. This electrical energy is then used to power systems like lights, air conditioning, and the radio, while also keeping the battery charged.

The alternator plays a key role in maintaining a reliable power supply, ensuring that the vehicle’s electrical systems operate smoothly and the battery remains charged for starting the engine.

A serpentine belt is a long, continuous belt in a vehicle that drives multiple components, such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. It transfers rotational power from the engine's crankshaft to these systems, ensuring they operate efficiently while the engine is running.

The serpentine belt is a key part of a vehicle’s drive system, helping power essential functions and maintain overall engine performance.

An idler pulley is a component in a vehicle's engine that helps guide and tension the serpentine belt. It does not drive any accessories but plays a crucial role in keeping the belt properly aligned and under the correct tension. The idler pulley ensures smooth operation of the belt, preventing it from slipping or wearing out prematurely.

By reducing friction and maintaining belt tension, the idler pulley helps prolong the life of the serpentine belt and the engine components it powers.

A belt tensioner is a component in a vehicle's engine that maintains proper tension on the serpentine or timing belt. It helps ensure that the belt stays tight and operates efficiently, preventing it from slipping or becoming too loose. The tensioner automatically adjusts to changes in belt tension due to wear or changes in engine load, keeping the belt properly aligned and under the right amount of pressure.

By maintaining optimal tension, the belt tensioner helps protect other components, such as the alternator, power steering pump, and water pump, from damage and ensures smooth operation of the engine’s drive system.

The BG Battery Cleaning Service removes corrosion from the battery terminals, cables, and tray, ensuring a reliable electrical connection and extending the life of your battery. This service improves overall vehicle performance by preventing issues caused by corrosion.

Meanwhile, our Leak Detector Service identifies leaks in the cooling, fuel, or air conditioning systems that may not be visible to the naked eye. By detecting potential problems early, we help prevent costly repairs and keep your vehicle running efficiently.

This service also includes the installation of anti-corrosion pads at the battery terminals.

A starter is an essential component in a vehicle's electrical system that provides the initial power needed to start the engine. When you turn the key or press the start button, the starter motor engages with the flywheel to turn the engine over, initiating the combustion process. It draws power from the battery to generate the necessary torque to get the engine moving. Once the engine is running, the starter disengages, allowing the engine to operate on its own power.

If the starter fails, your vehicle won’t be able to start, requiring a repair or replacement to restore proper function.

We are proud to partner with BG Products to offer services including Engine Performance Restoration w/ MOA, all types of fluid flushes (brake, power steering, coolant, etc.), 44K, and more!
