  • Properly Maintaining Your Battery

    headlights

    Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play. The battery of your vehicle holds electrical energy while the car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you allow our team here at Performance Auto Repair to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.

  • Protect Your Car from Interior Leaks and Drips

This situation, combined with caustic emissions and extreme heat, creates a perfect opportunity for problems to arise.

    If your transmission isn’t shifting correctly, you’ll want to be careful about how you choose to proceed.

At Performance Auto Repair in Montgomery, AL we can take a look at your issues and also give you some tips on what to do when that option isn't available yet.

Drinks get spilled, burn holes appear, rips and tears happen. Unlike the rest of your car, the interior isn’t made of metal, so it requires special treatment to keep it in good condition.
