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 North Kingstown. 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.
Starters
The starter gets your engine going. Clicking sounds or a failure to start can signal a faulty starter motor. We'll diagnose starter issues and repair or replace the component as needed to ensure reliable starts every time.
Battery Related FAQs
What can go wrong when jumping a car?
Incorrect jumper cable placement-reversing polarity-is a leading cause of alternator or battery damage. Use red for positive and black for negative, and never let the clamps touch. Damaged cables or corroded battery terminals can also pose a risk. For peace of mind, let Hans Imports INC perform the jump safely.
What precautions should I take when replacing a car battery?
Use insulated tools and avoid shorting the terminals. Handle the battery carefully to prevent drops or tipping, and always secure it before reconnecting the cables. If you're not familiar with replacing a car battery, let our trained team handle it 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 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.
What are the warning signs of a bad starter?
A failing starter may click when you turn the key or produce a slow whine. In some cases, there may be no sound at all. If your car won't start and the battery is healthy, it's likely time to inspect or replace the starter motor.

The best part of owning an aging British car was knowing Omar & Dave would help in a pinch. They are truly passionate about cars and helping people and the reports they produce after any service are repair are like university dissertations. Their passion for cars shows through, and they have never failed to be thorough and honest with us - including letting us know when it was time to stop throwing good money after bad and retire our car. We are very grateful to them and couldn't recommend Hans Imports enough.
