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

Great shop. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, kind staff. Fixed my car and gave helpful feedback on the things to keep an eye on. I will use them again and would recommend this shop to others.

Angela Kemling

I had my brakes replaced here based on a recommendation from a coworker. They were helpful, honest, and got it done in one day!

Kendra Allen

Jason was so kind and gave me great advice even though my car was at another shop. He’s honest and sincere, and knows how to get his customers back on the road.

Jo Foster

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

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

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

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

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

I love this place. The owner is straight up. This is an awesome shop. My repair was concise accurate. I trust them implicitly and it’s a drive for me AAA rated… Check them out Jason has your back.
