Battery FAQs


What are common mistakes when jumping a car?

The most common error is reversing the jumper cables-always connect red to positive and black to negative. Using low-quality cables, letting clips touch, or jumping a battery with visible damage can cause serious electrical damage. When in doubt, have McKonly's Garage Inc perform the jump safely.

What should I be careful of when replacing a car battery?

When replacing a car battery, avoid touching both terminals with the same tool-it can cause a short. Don't drop the battery or reconnect cables before it's securely in place. If you're unsure, let our technicians handle your car battery replacement professionally.

Car Starting FAQs


How do I unlock a locked steering wheel?

Press the brake and gently turn the wheel in the direction it moves slightly while turning the key. This relieves pressure in the column and allows the wheel to unlock. Never force it-if the battery is dead or the key won't turn, consult a professional technician.

What does a failing starter sound like?

Common sounds include a single click, grinding, or even silence when turning the key. These signs often indicate a starter issue that requires immediate inspection and service.

What Our Customers Are Saying

If I could give this garage a higher rating, I would. I brought my car to them for a diagnostic. I had a severe oil leak and I thought for sure that my shifter cable had snapped. Not only did they find the problems, but they fixed them within a few hours at an unbeatable price. This was my first time using this garage, and not only will I take my vehicle to them again when needed, I will recommend them to everyone that I know. They are most definitely a staple to the community that offers amazing service with such professionalism and respect for their customers, that they have earned my respect and business from just one visit. Thank you, Mckonly's for doing everything to make this customer extremely happy!!

McKonly's Garage was fantastic. They got my car in for inspection and emissions and I got a detailed report later that day. I love the report because it breaks down all recommendations for services and whether or not they are required or just regular maintenance. The service was fast and easy and they called me back within the hour to pick up my vehicle. Highly recommended!!! I love supporting a family owned local business instead of going to Pep Boys!

Great place to go. Easy to work with and set up appointments. Took my car in for inspection and they show you what proactive maintenance you need to keep your car running smoothly. Will inform you with any questions you have about it . They are very knowledgeable about their trade there.

McKonly's Garage offered a car care workshop for my troop of Senior Girl Scouts last week. The technicians were helpful, thorough, patient, and really great with the kids. They taught the girls valuable skills for car maintenance and safety. They were incredibly generous with their time and talent. Not only is McKonly's Garage a great family business to work with, but they truly care about the community.
