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 Essex Junction. 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.
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.
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 Cousino Performance 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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Honest, thorough, and accommodating!
Essex Junction, VT
Dan Cousino works quickly and professionally. He was able to fit my car in within a few days of my call, diagnosed the problem, and got me back on the road. He’s also easy to talk to and able to describe the car’s issues in a way I could understand.
Essex Junction, VT
I had heard other’s testimonies about their experience here and decided to try it for myself. I had an inspection due and needed my summer tires put. Dan was attentive and efficient, he didn’t pull the wool over my eyes when it came to the bill (very much appreciated that)! I’m happy to have taken the advice of others and can fully agree - I will be returning for any service my car may need next!
