Taking Care of Battery and Starter Failure
The battery supplies power for the ignition system, starter motor, and lights. If you have to jump start your car to get it going, your battery is failing. You can either replace or repair it, depending on the severity of the damage. The starter is an electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic motor that rotates the internal combustion engine to start the engine. Failure of starters translates to car failure.

Get Your Air-Conditioning Working Again
Summers can get quite hot in Minnesota, so don't get caught breaking a sweat while you're on the road. If your air-conditioning is busted, it's time for a trip to L & R Automotive. With over 25 years of experience, we'll find the problem in no time.
A Properly Working A/C System
In order for your air-conditioning to work properly, it must have no leaks that might allow the refrigerant to escape. Although A/C systems are designed to be resistant to leaks and contamination, they're not leak-proof and over time, these things can adversely affect cooling. Catching these problems early on can save you time and money, plus keep you cooler for longer.
Air-Conditioning Services We Perform
- Visual inspection of the A/C Components
- Run System State of Charge Test
- Run System Control Test
- Perform Leak Test — if a slow leak cannot be detected, then we may need to perform a dye detection service
