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 Golden. 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 Andersen's Foreign Car Service 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.

If you own a BMW and don't want to be charged the crazy dealer charges, this is the place to go. They know BMWs and are honest and fair. I've taken multiple BMWs to them and I always walk away happy with them!

I was having battery discharging issues with my BMW and I brought it to Andersen's and I received impeccable service. Everyone is so friendly and did an amazing job repairing my issues and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. They were more than reasonable in what they charged me and I would recommend them for quality service with very reasonable prices to anyone with a foreign car. Thank you to everyone at Andersen's you were all a blessing to me I will never take my car anywhere else for repairs.

Great family business, always helpful, timely and fair priced. Very trustworthy. The hatchback struts on my Volvo XC70 were replaced very quickly.

It's nice to leave a positive review for an excellent company with outstanding communication and attention-to-detail. They inspected one of my Mercedes thoroughly and identified some problems in their early stages that need will to be addressed. We discussed priorities and I will be happy to schedule the work with them for resolution. Thank you Megan, Jim, Zach, and of course, Willow!
