Services: Electrical Systems

Your vehicle’s electrical system is made up of a complex network of circuits that create, store and distribute energy where it’s needed. Much of your electrical system maintenance can be done through Dawson Tire Service. During a battery inspection our technicians at Dawson Tire Service check:

• Overall car battery and case condition
• Cable connections
• Hold-down hardware

Checking the starter means:

• Inspecting cable connections
• Inspecting mounting bolts and brackets
• A Starter Electrical “Draw” Test, to check the amount of electricity needed to turn the engine over

Checking the alternator means:

• Conducting an overall visual inspection
• Inspecting the drive belt
• Inspecting the mounting brackets
• Testing electrical connections
• A Charging System Test to ensure that the alternator current and voltage are to manufacturer’s specifications
