Battery Related FAQs

What can go wrong when jumping a car?

Incorrect jumper cable placement, especially reversing polarity, is a leading cause of alternator and battery damage. Always connect red to positive and black to negative, and never allow the clamps to touch each other. Damaged cables or heavily corroded battery terminals can also create safety risks. For peace of mind, let Dotson's Garage Inc. perform the jump safely.

What precautions should I take when replacing a car battery?

Use insulated tools and avoid creating a short between the battery terminals. Handle the battery carefully to prevent dropping or tipping it, and always make sure it is securely mounted before reconnecting the cables. If you're not comfortable replacing a battery yourself, let our trained team handle the replacement with precision and care.

Car Starting Related FAQs

How do I release a locked steering wheel?

Place your foot on the brake and turn the steering wheel in the direction where it still has a small amount of movement. This helps relieve tension in the steering column and should allow you to turn the key and unlock the wheel. Do not attempt to force the steering wheel, and never try this if the battery is dead or you do not have the key. In those situations, a professional auto repair technician should assist you.

What are the warning signs of a bad starter?

A failing starter may produce a clicking sound when you turn the key, a slow whining noise, or no sound at all. If your vehicle won't start and you've confirmed the battery is in good condition, it's likely time to have the starter motor inspected or replaced.
