Your Expert Destination for Vehicle Electrics in Luton


Alternator Replacement:

Your vehicle's alternator is responsible for generating electricity to power the electrical system and recharge the battery while the engine is running. If you're experiencing dimming lights, electrical malfunctions, or difficulty starting your vehicle, it may be a sign of a failing alternator. Our skilled technicians can diagnose and replace your alternator with a high-quality replacement to restore the charging system's functionality and keep your vehicle running smoothly.


Starter Motor Repair:

The starter motor is crucial for initiating the engine's combustion process and starting your vehicle. If you're hearing clicking noises, grinding sounds, or experiencing difficulty starting your car, it could indicate a faulty starter motor. Our team is equipped to diagnose and repair starter motor issues, whether it's a simple repair or a complete replacement. We'll ensure that your vehicle starts reliably every time, so you can hit the road with confidence.


New Batteries Installation:

Your vehicle's battery provides the necessary power to start the engine and operate electrical components when the vehicle is not running. Over time, batteries can lose their charge capacity and fail, leading to starting issues and electrical malfunctions. If you're experiencing sluggish starts, dimming lights, or other electrical issues, it may be time for a new battery. Our technicians can assess your battery's condition and recommend a suitable replacement to ensure reliable performance and minimise the risk of breakdowns.

  • What are the signs that my vehicle's alternator needs replacement?

    Signs of a failing alternator include dimming headlights or interior lights, warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, a dead battery despite recent replacement, unusual noises such as grinding or whining, or difficulty starting the vehicle. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's advisable to have your alternator inspected by our expert technicians at Universal Clutches in Luton.

  • How can I tell if my starter motor needs repair?

    Common signs of a faulty starter motor include a clicking noise when attempting to start the vehicle, a slow or sluggish cranking sound, intermittent starting issues, or the engine failing to turn over despite a charged battery. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, our skilled technicians can diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repairs or replacements to get you back on the road.

  • When should I consider replacing my vehicle's battery?

    It's generally recommended to replace your vehicle's battery every 3 to 5 years, depending on factors such as usage patterns, climate conditions, and the quality of the battery. Signs that your battery may need replacement include difficulty starting the vehicle, a weak or sluggish cranking sound, illuminated warning lights on the dashboard, or visible corrosion on the battery terminals.
