Starting & Charging FAQ
Why does my car click but not start?
A single click usually points to a bad starter. Rapid clicking typically means a weak or dead battery. We test both the battery and starter to confirm the exact cause before recommending any repair.
How do I know if my alternator is failing?
Warning signs include a battery warning light, dimming headlights, electrical accessories running slowly, a whining or grinding noise from the engine bay, and a battery that keeps dying even after being charged.
How long does a car battery last?
Most car batteries last 3–5 years. Extreme temperatures — both hot Utah summers and cold winters — can shorten battery life. We test your battery's health and recommend replacement before you get stranded.
Is starting and charging repair covered by warranty?
Yes. All starting and charging repairs at Murphy's Auto Repair are backed by our 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty.
