Mechanical and Collision All in One Small Independent Shop

Hello Bloggers

Today November 21, 2015,  I work on a 2000 Saturn SL2.  It was towed in Thursday, November 19, 2015, with a "No Start Issue".  The owner ran the original alternator till it killed the battery.  So, needless to say I had to check for a charge on the battery first.  After which, I found that the alternator was shorted out.  My first instinct was to check the battery.  I tried to charge in connected to the vehicle and no good- completely dead.  Then, I removed the battery from the vehicle and charged it all day Friday.  First thing Saturday morning I purchased a new alternator from the local parts store and installed it in the Saturn.  With a fully charged battery and a new alternator the owners were back on the road to Union County, Monroe N.C.

After the Saturn, I worked on a small job 2004 Honda Civic.  It needed a new window regulator replaced.
