Batteries, Starters & Alternators in Rochester.
Leo's Auto Repair tests and repairs starting and charging systems in Rochester — battery, starter, alternator, and the cables between them.
Call (585) 773-6714Three different parts produce the same symptom, and guessing between them is how people buy a battery they did not need. A proper test loads the battery, measures alternator output under demand, and checks the draw on the starter — twenty minutes that tells you which one it actually is.
Rochester winters are hard on batteries specifically: cold thickens the oil the starter has to turn while cutting the battery's available power, so a battery that was marginal in October is dead in January. If yours is over four years old and cranking slowly, that is the warning.
Describe what the car is doing — the noise, when it happens, what changed. Half the diagnosis is in the description.
What actually failed, what it costs to fix, and what happens if you wait — before any work starts, not after.
The repair gets done and you get told why it failed, so you know whether to expect it again on this car.
★★★★★“I'm a first time car owner and pretty ignorant when it comes to car maintenance and repairs. That being said this was the first shop I took my car to get work done on it and from the beginning Leo was kind, honest, and very patient.”
★★★★★“I've been with Leo for almost 15 yrs. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He's honest and will work with you, he'll give you options and do what he can to make sure your car is in working order.”
