The exhaust on your truck is an important series of components, that work together to insure smooth, reliable operation. At Brandon's Auto Repair & Diesel Service in Lubbock, TX, we also know that exhaust systems are especially susceptible to damage and rust; pipes, mufflers, and other parts are exposed to hazards on the road, and to the environment. This situation, combined with caustic emissions and extreme heat, create a perfect opportunity for problems to arise.

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 Brandon's Auto Repair & Diesel Service to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.
