Car Electrical & Battery Repair at NewGen Auto Repair
A clicking sound when you turn the key usually means a weak battery or a bad connection; a battery that dies again and again can mean the alternator isn't charging or something keeps drawing power with the car off.
We test before replacing parts, so you don't pay for a battery when the real problem is the alternator — or the other way around.
After a collision we also check wiring and sensors that the impact may have damaged, so nothing is left out of the insurance claim.

My car clicks but won't start. What's wrong?
Most often a weak battery, corroded terminals or a failing starter. We test all three.
Why does my battery keep dying?
Common causes are an old battery, an alternator that isn't charging, or a parasitic drain. We test the charging system and measure the drain.
Do you fix electrical problems after an accident?
Yes — damaged wiring, sensors and lights from a collision are part of the insurance repair, and we document them for the adjuster.

*Deductible assistance of up to $1,000 is available only on insurance claims where your insurance company has approved a repair amount of $8,000 or more and the repair is performed in accordance with that insurer-approved estimate (California Penal Code § 551(b)). We never increase a repair estimate to cover a deductible. Not available on customer-pay repairs. Ask us for details before your repair begins.
**Free computer diagnostic scan: we read and explain your vehicle's trouble codes at no charge, no purchase required. If the problem needs in-depth testing (labor), we give you a written estimate and get your approval before any paid work, as California law requires.
†Warranty: limited lifetime warranty on our collision, body and paint workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle; 24 months / 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) on mechanical repairs, parts and labor. Not covered: normal wear, new damage, abuse or neglect, rust or chips from road debris, and customer-supplied parts. Warranty terms are written on your invoice.
‡Accident towing: you pay nothing out of pocket when you have collision coverage or the other driver is at fault — we pay the tow and bill the insurance company. If no insurance covers the tow, we tell you the price before the truck is sent.
