Battery FAQs
What are mistakes made when jumping a car?
Mixing up negative and positive cables is the most common mistake. When you mix up the negative and positive cable it ruins your car's alternator. Just remember black to negative and red to positive. Other common mistakes are using cheap cables that don't conduct properly, letting the cables swing and become detached, touching the clips together, and ignoring cracks in your battery or dirty battery terminals.
What should I be careful of when changing a car battery?
It may sound obvious but be sure that you do not drop the battery. Be careful not to let the tools touch both the negative and positive terminals simultaneously, as it could create a spark, cause the battery to short out, or even damage the vehicle's electrical components.
Make sure to separate the cables to the side so that they don't touch the battery until it is in place. Attach the negative cable first and then the positive cable. If have any doubts while you are trying to change your battery you should always call in an expert.
Car Starting FAQs
How do I unlock my steering wheel?
Place your foot on the brake and turn the wheel in the direction in which it has a little range of motion. This should ease the tension in the steering column and allow you to turn the key. Turning the key unlocks the steering wheel. Do not try to unlock your steering wheel without a key or if the battery is dead. This should only be done by a professional auto repair technician.
What does a dead starter sound like?
Clicking noises upon turning the key are a classic sign of starter failure. However, this isn't the only clue. A dying starter might remain completely silent or offer subtle warnings through whirring or grinding sounds before finally giving up the ghost.

I took my car to MandMaudio on Colonia Lane in Nokomis, FL to have a radio installed on July 5th 2023. I waited for my car to be completed, paid for the installation and started for home. Got 3 blocks away, tried to put my window down to no avail. Turned around immediately and returned to MandMaudio. Had the installer try to remedy the problem, :"Can't help you, the car's too old". Went back numerous times as the entire electrical system broke down a piece at a time. They wanted NOTHING to do with destroying my car's electrical system. Trying to resolve the electrical problem, I searched out 4 or 5 places. NO ONE WANTED ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY CAR. As I was walking out of Publix on the Island, I noticed a pick-up truck that read "Car Doc" . I walked up to the Technician in the garage who's name was Ron, and proceeded to explain my problem. It just so happens that Ron is very knowledgeable in all aspects of electrical systems in cars. He was able to get "The Hyundai Hotel" back to her old self in 2 DAYS. WOW!!! I HIGHLY recommend this establishment to ANY and EVERYONE that has any car trouble WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!

Had the oil changed and also purchased a new battery for my 1972 Corvette. The guys were very careful and respectful of my car. Would recommend them.
