Battery Related FAQs
What are mistakes made when jumping a car?
Mixing up negative and positive cables is the most common mistake. When you mix up the negative and positive cable it ruins your car's alternator. Just remember black to negative and red to positive. Other common mistakes are using cheap cables that don't conduct properly, letting the cables swing and become detached, touching the clips together, and ignoring cracks in your battery or dirty battery terminals.
What should I be careful of when changing a car battery?
It may sound obvious but be sure that you do not drop the battery. Be careful not to let the tools touch both the negative and positive terminals simultaneously, as it could create a spark, cause the battery to short out, or even damage the vehicle's electrical components. Make sure to separate the cables to the side so that they don't touch the battery until it is in place. Attach the negative cable first and then the positive cable. If have any doubts while you are trying to change your battery you should always call in an expert.
Car Starting Related FAQs
How do I unlock my steering wheel?
Place your foot on the brake and turn the wheel in the direction in which it has a little range of motion. This should ease the tension in the steering column and allow you to turn the key. Turning the key unlocks the steering wheel. Do not try to unlock your steering wheel without a key or if the battery is dead. This should only be done by a professional auto repair technician.
How do I change my keyless entry remote battery?
This should work for most remotes:
- Remove the metal blade key from the remote.
- Use a standard (flat head) screwdriver to gently pry open the fob
- Remove the battery. It is usually a small round lithium watch battery.
- Insert a new battery
- Snap the key fob back together
- Insert the metal blade key into the fob.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Went it to get my emissions, they were fast, the fee was really affordable, and the service was great!! Now my go-to shop for all car problems
I worked at a car rental company so I dealt with plenty of body shops. Marcos is incredibly honest and they were great communicators. My car had some complications and they still were able to get my car fixed in a day. I will be going to them over any other shop in provo, even the main ones, for a couple reasons: 1. Since they are smaller, you will get much faster service. 2. Best pricing I have seen. Thanks to Josue for making sure I was taken care of
Really very good and responsible workers
Sure thankful for these gentlemen today! I live in SLC & had to come down to Provo for work. On my way down south my tire sensor light went off - no big, was due for a rotation and alignment anyway. Looked up highly rated spots near my office and they came up first thing. Come to find out after dropping the car off thet I need two tires replaced due to wearing on the outside treads. I really appreciate how the owner's son took me back to the garage and pointed out the flaws in my tire compared to a newer one. He actually explained what he meant versus just yapping at me, which is unfortunately common as a single woman with zero mechanical experience. On top of teaching me something, they also didnt charge me for the rotation since I'll be out of pocket for a new set of tires (thanks all-wheel drive!) If I lived closer these guys would be my regular mechanic. Thanks for your kindness and integrity today, gentlemen. It doesnt go unnoticed.
