Battery & Starting Service

The Battery is the foundation of your ride — it helps provide the jolt of electricity needed to power all of the electrical components of your vehicle. Understanding your car’s battery isn’t just a matter of automotive curiosity; it’s a necessity to help prevent getting stranded on the side of the road. Smithtown Transmissions is the leader in Smithtown for the service and repair of auto charging systems. Our Smithtown auto shop staff takes the time to educate our customers in knowing that the battery, starting, and charging systems in their car or truck play pivotal roles in ensuring the dependable operation of your vehicle while driving in and around Smithtown.  There are various factors that contribute to the wear and tear of your vehicle's battery, charging and starting systems. For example, the frequent turning on and off of your automobile when running errands in Smithtown will cause more wear and tear than a daily commute to and from your Smithtown workplace. Other factors that affect the wear and tear of the battery, charging, and starting system include Smithtown driving and weather conditions, overall mileage, vehicle age, and various automotive components like in-vehicle entertainment systems that cause an excessive electrical draw. The symptoms you may experience that indicate possible problems with your battery, charging, and starting systems include the dimming of headlights and interior lights, the “check engine”, battery lights coming on, or the failure of different car or truck accessories. The mechanics at our Smithtown Transmissions shop are expertly trained in the complete service and repair of car and truck batteries, charging, and starting systems. If you think you are having problems with any of the components of your charging and starting system bring your car or truck to our Smithtown Transmissions service center and let us be of assistance.

How do I know if my vehicle’s starter needs to be replaced?
A vehicle's starter likely needs replacing if you hear clicking sounds when trying to start the engine, experience a slow crank or grinding noise while starting, notice a burning smell under the hood, or if your car starts intermittently, as these are common signs of a failing starter motor; consult a mechanic for a definitive diagnosis.
