Electrical & battery
Starting & charging check
A starting and charging check tests the battery, alternator and starter together, showing which component is really failing.
What it is and how we do it
Many “car won’t start” problems look alike but involve different parts. We test the battery health, the alternator charging voltage and the starter draw together, to pinpoint exactly where the fault is before replacing anything.
It is a fast, precise diagnosis that avoids trial-and-error replacements, especially useful when the car has intermittent starts or goes flat for no clear reason.
Symptoms and when to come
Slow cranking, battery warning light, needing a jump-start, a battery that drains while parked, and intermittent electrical faults. Come before simply buying a new battery, so you do not mask a bad alternator.
Why it matters and why Mr. Service
Testing before replacing saves money and avoids coming back with the same problem. At Mr. Service we assess the whole starting and charging system with proper equipment, serve imported and domestic cars of all brands, quote before any repair and back labour with a 3-month warranty. We speak Portuguese, English and Turkish.
