Comprehensive Computer Diagnostic, Preventive Maintenance and Repair
A dead battery or slow crank is one of the most common — and most frustrating — reasons drivers get stranded. At Vertical Automotive in Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale, we go beyond simply swapping batteries. Our ASE-certified technicians perform a complete electrical system evaluation, testing battery capacity, alternator output, starter draw, wiring integrity, and charging relay function using factory-level diagnostic equipment. Whether you drive a conventional vehicle, a hybrid, or a full EV, we identify the root cause before recommending any repair — saving you from unnecessary part replacements. All work is backed by our 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.
Have your battery and charging system inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles. In South Florida's extreme heat, batteries degrade faster than average. Warning signs include slow engine cranking, dimming headlights, dashboard warning lights, or needing frequent jump-starts.
Accurate diagnostics prevent unnecessary part replacements and reduce repair costs. A properly functioning charging system ensures reliable starts, protects sensitive electronics, and extends overall battery life — keeping you safe and avoiding roadside breakdowns.
