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 Apex. 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 GMP Automotive 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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I am a first time customer. I could tell they were good at what they do, when I walked in. Communication was top notch. The work was top notch. Great experience. They rebuilt the rear of my late model GMC.
This garage is great! I snapped a hard brake line trying to get it off of my car, so needed to have a new one made. GMP took my old one, duplicated it, had it back to me the next day. With only a few tweaks it fit like a glove. Will be going here for work in the future!
Huge shoutout to Travis who answered my call, arranged an appointment for my Corvette C8 rear brake pads change, and accommodated my time changes for 3 times. I had to reschedule because I was swamped for the last week. He sent me an estimate and it looked good and reasonable. Dropped it off today after lunch and it was done by the end of the day. Highly recommend, would definitely come back.

Awesome service and highly skilled technicians! My 18 year old Ford diesel was experiencing issues and I sought out GMP to help me diagnose the power loss. Online forums had more than 12 things that could have been the cause, which worried me about a possible rabbit hole this could be on such an old truck. Dave B at GMP listened carefully to the concern, came up with a plan and dug in the resolve it. A little scary for me, because the entire cab of the truck had to come off to access the turbo, where the problem resided - but Dave set me at ease and showed professionalism and calm. Ultimately the work Dave did resolved the issue and hope to get another 5 or more years out of the truck! Dave also recommended a few other items, while the cab was off, that made great sense to get done at the same time. Thank you Dave and the entire GMP Automotive group for such great work! You have earned a long term customer that will be reaching out for my general and difficult maintenance in the future!
