Alternator, Starter & Car Battery Replacement Services
Alternators
Your alternator powers essential systems while your engine is running. If your lights dim or your battery drains unexpectedly, it may be time for alternator repair or replacement. Our expert team will test your alternator and get you back on the road safely.
Batteries
Your car battery powers everything from the ignition to headlights. If you're jump-starting regularly or seeing a dashboard warning light, it's time to consider a car battery replacement. Our team offers fast battery testing, replacement, charging, and recycling services in Mars Hill. Not sure how often to replace a car battery? Most drivers should check their battery after 3 years and consider replacing by year 5-especially in extreme climates or with frequent short trips.

Battery FAQs
What are common mistakes when jumping a car?
The most common error is reversing the jumper cables-always connect red to positive and black to negative. Using low-quality cables, letting clips touch, or jumping a battery with visible damage can cause serious electrical damage. When in doubt, have Metco Tire & Auto Service perform the jump safely.
What should I be careful of when replacing a car battery?
When replacing a car battery, avoid touching both terminals with the same tool-it can cause a short. Don't drop the battery or reconnect cables before it's securely in place. If you're unsure, let our technicians handle your car battery replacement professionally.
Car Starting FAQs
How do I unlock a locked steering wheel?
Press the brake and gently turn the wheel in the direction it moves slightly while turning the key. This relieves pressure in the column and allows the wheel to unlock. Never force it-if the battery is dead or the key won't turn, consult a professional technician.
What does a failing starter sound like?
Common sounds include a single click, grinding, or even silence when turning the key. These signs often indicate a starter issue that requires immediate inspection and service.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I had my car serviced this morning and my tires rotated. They did an amazing job. Very friendly and nice people. I will definitely be back
Fantastic and prompt service! We had an unexpected flat while visiting the area and they got us back on the road in 30 min.
Great service on a dead battery/alternator fix Very kind and professional! Had my car towed there as my SIL has been very happy with their work and prices. They exceeded my expectations! Thankyou very much!
Stopped in with a tire leak. They identified the source and patched the tire within 15 minutes of our arrival-we had barely settled in to their air conditioned waiting area before it was time to pay and move on with our busy day. They were super nice and efficient. I would have paid them more for the time and stress they saved us.
