Well howdy — glad you stopped by.
Starter replacements, alternator rebuilds, and honest diagnostics — right here on W Oak St. No surprises, no upselling, just fixed cars and friendly faces.
What We Do
From a clicking sound in the morning to a battery that won't hold a charge — we diagnose and fix the electrical starting system so you can get back on the road with confidence.
Clicking but no crank? We'll swap out your starter quickly — remanufactured or new, depending on what your vehicle needs and your budget.
Dimming lights, buzzing noises, or a dead battery on a recently charged cell? We test and replace alternators so your car runs clean every trip.
Not sure if it's the battery, starter, or alternator? We run full load tests to pinpoint the problem before touching a single bolt — saving you time and money.
Strange smells, blown fuses, or intermittent no-start conditions — we trace wiring, grounds, and connections to track down the root cause.
Most starter and alternator jobs are completed the same day you bring your vehicle in. Call ahead and we'll get you on the schedule.
We explain what's wrong before we touch anything, and we never recommend work you don't need. You'll always know the price before we start.
About Us
JK's Starter & Alternator Service has been serving Palestine and the surrounding area from W Oak St. We specialize in starting and charging systems — but we know a thing or two about the rest of the car, too.
When you pull into our bay, you're not a ticket number. We'll look at the problem, tell you what we think is going on, and give you an honest answer — even if the answer is "your battery just needs a charge." That's the kind of shop we are.
Why Choose Us
We've built a reputation in Palestine by doing the job right, showing up on time, and never making you feel like you need to understand mechanics to get straight answers.
4813 W Oak St — easy to find, easy to park, and right in the heart of town. We're your neighbors.
We call before we do extra work. The price we quote is the price you pay — unless we find something you want us to look at first.
Bring coffee, stay for a chat. We'd rather explain what's going on in plain English than throw parts at it and hope.
Most jobs are done same day. We know you need your vehicle — we'll get you back on the road fast.
