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 Saint Augustine. 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 Evans Automotive & Tire Center 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.

Had a dead battery on way to take a friend to the hospital for a procedure, called AAA to jump start car and called Evans to have a new battery installed. The very nice man at the register understood my dilemma and installed the battery in their parking lot (because they had appt work in the garage) so I could get on my way quickly. I so appreciate his understanding and going beyond to help me. This is one of the many reasons I use Evans.

Had my 37 Pontiac serviced for brake light issue. I tried to figure it out to no avail, just a lot of frustration for me. These guys solved the issue quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend them. I also got a great tip from the young man that worked on the car. He mentioned to me to use LED bulbs for my brakes. I found 6 volt bulbs and man what a difference! Thanks again!

I cannot say enough good things about Evans. I broke down in Elkton while driving back to Massachusetts on a Thursday evening. Evans gave me priority treatment Friday as I was literally stranded. I needed a new alternator and battery. The first alternator was defective and they still got me back on the road by the close of the day. I was doubly grateful as I would have been stuck all weekend. I left with a sense of comfort as they checked all out. Kudos to Justin and the mechanic who worked on my car. I would highly recommend Evans to anyone looking for great service and treatment.

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for thee BEST Automotive Service I honestly have EVER had received.. I had an unfortunate experience before coming into Evans last Monday. I had decided over the weekend that I would stop in first thing Monday to see if they could assist me as I was scheduled to travel shortly and put faith that all would flow how it was to go. I was met by Justin who listened.. and took in all that I had asked of them to check out..and had ended up calling a few others times to add some extra things on.. as well as ‘checked in’ to see how things were proceeding. Understanding that at times.. when your car is being checked out.. you just might need to take care of something else.. which was the case …. I appreciated how that was handled.. professional.. and truly caring about the customer.. I was told Matthew was the main tech who worked on my car.. I want to acknowledge and thank him.. I truly APPRECIATE YOU.. your time.. care and hard work.. not just on my vehicle but daily.. as well as ALL who work at Evans.. YOU ALL make a difference and bring your care.. professionalism and knowledge to make the experience for the customer pleasant.. which means a great deal these days.. so thank you ALL.. When I had come to pick up my vehicle.. I was greeted by ‘Ms.Harley’ who definitely wanted to express her gratitude to me .. which made my day.. I’m a number person.. My vehicle is a 2013 GMC.. I bought it at 113,000.. my next oil change.. 123,330… PERFECT.. Thank YOU EVANS AUTOMOTIVE and TIRE CENTER.. I meant what I said.. THEE BEST Service I have EVER had.. I’ll be back.. for sure.. Blessings to you ALL..
Had a great experience with Evans Automotive in St Augustine . I originally went to Hanania Jeep (huge mistake)in town, because Evans Automotive was closed for Christmas and I was desperate. Hanania quoted me $1300-1600 for ignition and new keys ( keys weren't needed). I felt very pressured there and left, and waited for Evans to reopen. Evans repaired my 2016 Jeep for $596. The service was excellent, with no pressure. They did only what was needed and no upsell. Evans stands out for their integrity, great service and high quality work. I highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and affordable repairs. ( If they happen to be closed, just be patient because it's worth the wait :))
