Starter & Alternator Repairs
That click instead of a crank, the dim headlights at idle, the battery light on the dash — Beyana Automotive in Epping diagnoses and repairs starter and alternator faults properly.
Why it matters
Done properly. Done once.
A flat battery is rarely the only story.
When a car will not start, three things are usually in play: the battery, the starter motor and the alternator. Replacing the battery alone is the most common — and most expensive — mistake. Our diagnostic process tests all three together, so the part we replace is the part that actually failed.
Real bench testing, not guesswork.
We load-test the battery, measure starter current draw, and check alternator output across idle and load. The numbers tell us whether you need a new battery, a starter solenoid, a brushed alternator rebuild or a full replacement unit.
Quality replacements, not throw-away rebuilds.
We fit reputable new and remanufactured starters and alternators that come with a real warranty. The cheapest reman online might be half the price, but it will be back in your boot in twelve months. We pick units that hold up to Melbourne summers and stop-start traffic on Plenty Road.
Pickup if you cannot drive.
No-start at home is one of the worst customer experiences. Call us, we will arrange a tow or free local pickup across Epping and surrounding suburbs, and you will have the car back as soon as parts are in. Most jobs are same day or next day.

Common questions
Frequently asked about Starter Motor and Alternator Service this service.
- A starter problem usually shows up when you turn the key — slow cranking, a single click, or nothing at all. An alternator problem shows up while driving — battery warning light, dim headlights, or the car dies after a jump start. We test both either way.
- A failing alternator can damage even a new battery within months. That is exactly why we test all three components together, not just the battery, before quoting any replacement.
- Yes. We stock quality batteries to suit most makes and fit them while you wait. If your battery is healthy and the issue is elsewhere, we will tell you that too.
- It depends heavily on make and model — some are a 90-minute job, others require subframe drops on Euros. Call us with your VIN or rego and we will give you a fixed quote.
- For some classic and specialist cars, yes. For modern daily drivers, a quality remanufactured unit is usually faster and comes with a stronger warranty. We talk you through both options.
- We can arrange a local tow or free pickup within Epping and surrounding suburbs. Call 0430 111 780 and we will get the car to the workshop and start the diagnosis the same day where possible.
