Battery FAQs


What are common mistakes when jumping a car?

The most common mistake is reversing the jumper cable connections. Always connect red to positive and black to negative. Using low-quality cables, allowing the clips to touch, or attempting to jump-start a battery with visible damage can cause serious electrical damage. When in doubt, have Irace Automotive & Highland Towing 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, as this can create a dangerous short circuit. Never drop the battery, and do not reconnect the cables until the battery is securely mounted. If you're unsure about the process, let our technicians handle your battery replacement professionally.



Car Starting FAQs


How do I unlock a locked steering wheel?

Press the brake pedal and gently turn the steering wheel in the direction it moves slightly while turning the key. This relieves pressure in the steering column and allows the wheel to unlock. Never force the wheel or key. If the battery is dead or the key will not turn, consult a professional technician.

What does a failing starter sound like?

Common signs of a failing starter include a single clicking sound, grinding noises, or complete silence when turning the key. These symptoms often indicate a starter problem that should be inspected and serviced as soon as possible.

Had a flat... they got a new tire, mounted it on the car and properly stowed my spare back in the trunk. They've always taken good care if me there no matter what the problem I've had with my cars!

Highly recommended for auto repair and towing. Jim and the employees here have treated me with respect and helped in assisting any questions I had. When the tow driver was running a few minutes behind, he made initial contact with me and called with updates of their location.
