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 Savannah. 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 Dixie Motors 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
Dixie Motors is THE BEST!! I appreciate the care, advice, low cost, and integrity that John and his team provided on my recent visit! I brought my car into Dixie Motors because it kept stalling out showing a fuel injector error message. After resetting the car computer, John and his team took the next couple of days to diagnose if it was a computer issue or a mechanical issue. What I appreciate so much is John's patience and integrity by not ordering parts I did not need and running up unnecessary labor charges! The problem was resolved, the labor cost was very reasonable, and my car has been running great! Dixie Motors really cares about you, and what's best for you and your car needs! Thank you so much John and Dixie Motors!

Adam at Dixie Motors was fantastic when my check engine light came on while visiting Tybee Island on vacation. He got the car in right away, was able to diagnose the problem quickly and easily and was very professional and trustworthy in recommending next steps. I appreciate the customer service and would 100% recommend this business to anyone!
My wife and I have been using Dixie Motors for the past several years and greatly appreciate their honesty and kindness. If we drop our car off there is usually someone ready to walk out to help you immediately. No waiting in line and no rude customer service. They have never tried to "upsell" us on any repairs. We are very thankful again for their honesty and great customer service.
