5 Signs Your Car Needs a Charging System Test

If your headlights seem dim or flicker, it could be a sign your alternator isn’t providing enough power.

When starting your car takes longer than usual, your battery or charging system may be the culprit.

A lit battery warning light on your dashboard is a clear indicator of potential charging system issues.

If your battery frequently dies or requires jump-starts, it’s time to get your charging system checked.

Problems like malfunctioning power windows or radio could signal a failing alternator or battery.

I had a really great experience here. Service was friendly and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. They also always maintained good communication throughout and the service was timely. I definitely see myself as a repeat customer.

Patty R

Had my starter go out. They were able to diagnose and replace within two days despite being extremely busy. They also provided a full inspection without being pushy or trying to upsale. Good honest work. Thanks!

Spencer Short

This auto shop was great! They were so nice and helpful in everything they did. They diagnosed my problem quickly and replaced my battery very fast. Very inexpensive for the job performed and gave me quite a discount! Choose these guys they are the way to go!

J Delaney

My car’s tires blew out right near their shop, and they were super helpful in getting new tires in and replacing them within one day. Really helpful, and professional.

Guy Outred

Best place to take your car in Portland. Always makes time for you and does a great job and is affordable. Can trust them to do what you need and never over sells or over charges.

Taylor Tryon-Bowman

They are the best!!! They could’ve charged an arm and a leg, but didn’t. They are integral, and good people. I’m a teacher, and we had a hard week at home. Mike’s genuineness, and integrity, were very timely, and appreciated. We will go to the shop again and again.

James Sage

Dude these guys are great. They’ve never overcharged in my experience, and do a thorough job. Shout out to Jason for keeping me updated with repairs.

Abraham Ross

These guys are awesome! I had a problem with a battery install, brought the car back and they replaced the battery free of charge. Great communication, helpful advice too!

Hunt Lewis

Definitely recommend Multnomah Automotive for those searching for local auto care needs. They are friendly, honest, communicative, and work til they find a solution for the problem. Very happy to have them around for our ever-evolving car problems. Thank you!

Julie Lau

Amazing service and great management. Jason was awesome and quickly found the issue in my tire. I was in and out in about 10 minutes and for only $20. 10/10 auto shop experience

Ryan Sweet

Good, honest service. Reasonable prices. Jiffy Lube is right across the street from me, but I still make the 20 minute trip to Multnomah Automotive because of those qualities.

Alex

Had my oil changed and transmission flushed. They were very helpful and up front, easy to work with, and completed services in a timely fashion. I will definitely be bringing my car back to Jason and team.
