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 Clovis. 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 FAQs
What are common mistakes when jumping a car?
The most common error is reversing the jumper cables-always connect red to positive and black to negative. Using low-quality cables, letting clips touch, or jumping a battery with visible damage can cause serious electrical damage. When in doubt, have Circle Automotive perform the jump safely.
What should I be careful of when replacing a car battery?
When replacing a car battery, avoid touching both terminals with the same tool-it can cause a short. Don't drop the battery or reconnect cables before it's securely in place. If you're unsure, let our technicians handle your car battery replacement professionally.
Car Starting FAQs
How do I unlock a locked steering wheel?
Press the brake and gently turn the wheel in the direction it moves slightly while turning the key. This relieves pressure in the column and allows the wheel to unlock. Never force it-if the battery is dead or the key won't turn, consult a professional technician.
What does a failing starter sound like?
Common sounds include a single click, grinding, or even silence when turning the key. These signs often indicate a starter issue that requires immediate inspection and service.

Clovis, CA
Blessed to have come upon this shop. My family and I were on a road trip from New York and our car broke down near Clovis at 8pm on Friday. Our Honda Odyssey couldn't take the hilly up and downs of the Cali hills. AAA towed us to this shop but since it was late we would have to wait till the morning to talk to anyone about the work. The shop says it's only open weekdays and Saturday by appt. So we decided we would come in the morning and possibly someone would be there working. We came back the next morning and John was there. He is a very generous and caring man. He decided to look at our car to see what's wrong and ended up helping us out. The day before, we already were thinking the road trip is down and out, and the super old car is dead. Everything was amazing, from the service to the conversations. Huge thank you to John!!
We've gone to Circle Automotive a few times, and each time we received excellent service with a friendly staff.
