Customer Review
★★★★★
I had the best experience with T & A, which was so much better than any other auto repair shop I’ve ever gone to. I was road tripping and got a flat. The time was 4:40, I had called 5 or 6 places before calling T & A who was open until six. A gentleman picked up the phone I explained the situation and was close enough to get there. Got it replaced before they closed and the price was surprisingly affordable and reasonable. They also got my replacement tire coverage free of charge for a free replacement in the future. I will be going to T & A for all my auto needs from now on.
mechanic placing a car battery into a vehicle

Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play. The battery of your vehicle holds electrical energy while the car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you allow our team here at T & A American Car Care Center to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.
