We prioritize transparency, keeping you informed and involved in every step of the process. With clear communication and a welcoming environment, we ensure you understand your vehicle’s needs and our recommended services.

Prime Location:
Located in the heart of Lakewood, we are easily accessible for all your auto repair needs.

We offer flexible hours to accommodate your busy schedule, ensuring you can get the service you need when it’s most convenient for you.

Quality Parts:
We understand that quality matters when it comes to vehicle repairs. That’s why we use only Original Equipment Manufacturer parts or high-quality aftermarket alternatives that meet strict standards. This commitment ensures that your repairs are not only durable but also enhance your vehicle’s performance and longevity.  For example, we carry OE ACDelco batteries onsite for quick battery replacement for a high quality component.  We can also source other OE brands, depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

The battery provides the necessary power to crank and start your engine. If your battery is weak or dead, you will not be able to go anywhere.

From your headlights to your air conditioning and entertainment systems, a reliable electrical system keeps all your vehicle’s features functioning correctly. This is especially important for features such as keyless entry and autostart.

Modern vehicles come equipped with advanced safety systems that rely heavily on electrical components. A malfunction can compromise your safety on the road.  The number of sensors for collisions, for example, can run into the dozens.

Properly functioning electrical components help optimize fuel delivery and engine performance, enhancing your vehicle’s overall efficiency. The “fuel trims” should be monitored to see if the electrical system is contributing to lean or rich trouble codes in the vehicle computer system.

Electrical systems control everything from power windows to seat adjustments, making your driving experience more comfortable and convenient.

Addressing electrical issues early can prevent more significant problems down the line, saving you time and money on major repairs.  This is especially true of an old battery no longer capable of taking a full charge.

At Applewood Auto Care, we believe that a proactive approach is essential for maintaining your vehicle’s electrical system. Our comprehensive battery and electrical services begin with a thorough inspection and diagnostic process. 

Once we identify any problems, we provide you with a clear explanation of our findings and recommend the best course of action. Our goal is to ensure that your vehicle remains reliable and safe, so you can drive with confidence. Here’s a closer look at the specific services we offer:

Battery Services: Battery Testing and Replacement: Our technicians perform thorough battery diagnostics to assess its health. If your battery needs replacing, we offer high-quality OE-quality, such as ACDelco, batteries that ensure reliable starts every time. New Battery Installation: We provide professional installation services, ensuring your new battery is correctly fitted and fully operational.

Alternator Repair: If your vehicle shows symptoms like dimming lights or electrical failures, it may be an alternator issue. An alternator takes engine power while in operation to power a vehicle rather than stressing the battery after a vehicle starts. Our experts will diagnose the problem by potentially measuring voltage with a multimeter and provide efficient repairs for your electrical systems.

Starter Repair: A faulty starter can leave you stranded. As its name implies, a starter attempts to turn the engine which then allows for fuel and air to enter.  This is the start of the “combustion” process.  Our team will inspect your starter system and provide reliable replacement options to ensure your vehicle starts smoothly every time.

Wiring and Electrical Component Repair: We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify and resolve wiring issues, shorts, and other electrical malfunctions. Whether it’s a simple fix or a complex repair, we have got you covered.

Coloradans know the importance of a reliable electrical system as daily temperatures can fluctuate 60+ degrees in a 24 hour period.  This major shift in temperatures can wreak havoc on a battery or other electrical components.  Don’t be like the thousands of Denver residents who realize in October during the first freeze of the season their battery is weak and incapable of operating in low temperatures.  Stay ahead of getting stranded and get your battery tested!

Ignoring electrical problems can lead to more significant issues and costly repairs. If you notice signs of electrical trouble, such as flickering lights, strange noises, or difficulty starting your vehicle – don’t wait! Contact us today for a thorough inspection and reliable repairs.
