Alternator, Starter & Car Battery Replacement Services
Alternators
Your alternator powers essential systems while your engine is running. If your lights dim or your battery drains unexpectedly, it may be time for alternator repair or replacement. Our expert team will test your alternator and get you back on the road safely.
Batteries
Your car battery powers everything from the ignition to headlights. If you're jump-starting regularly or seeing a dashboard warning light, it's time to consider a car battery replacement. Our team offers fast battery testing, replacement, charging, and recycling services in Lubbock. Not sure how often to replace a car battery? Most drivers should check their battery after 3 years and consider replacing by year 5-especially in extreme climates or with frequent short trips.
Starters
The starter gets your engine going. Clicking sounds or a failure to start can signal a faulty starter motor. We'll diagnose starter issues and repair or replace the component as needed to ensure reliable starts every time.
Car Starting FAQs
What sound does a bad starter make?
A failing starter often clicks when you turn the key-but it might also produce a grinding or whirring sound, or no sound at all. If your engine won't turn over, schedule a diagnostic with Hud's Auto Service to determine if starter replacement is needed.
How do I unlock the steering wheel if it's stuck?
Apply pressure to the brake and turn the steering wheel slightly while turning the ignition key. This typically releases tension in the steering column and unlocks the wheel. If it doesn't work or the battery is dead, contact a professional to avoid damaging the ignition system.
Battery FAQs
What should I avoid when replacing a car battery?
When replacing a car battery, avoid letting tools bridge the terminals-it can cause sparks or electrical shorts. Make sure the battery is properly secured before connecting cables. Unsure how to replace a car battery safely? Our team is here to help with expert, affordable installation services.
What's the most common mistake when jumping a car?
The #1 mistake is connecting the jumper cables incorrectly-reversing the positive (red) and negative (black) leads can cause serious damage to your alternator or battery. Always double-check your connections and avoid using damaged or low-quality cables. If you're unsure, it's safest to let Hud's Auto Service handle the jump-start for you.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Took my vehicle as a walk in and had it done very quickly. My vehicle is now running better than ever at half the price the other places would charge me!
We have been back in Lubbock just over 2 years. When we asked for a good reputable shop, Huds came highly recommended! Since we have been back, we have had my Jeep in a few times now. (I know Just Empty Every Pocket) From the first hello when you call to schedule-to the time of pick up- their customer service has been top notch and will keep us coming back! Thank you to every team member at Huds for your warm welcomes, friendly smiles, honesty, and helping me NOT empty every pocket!

Honest and fair. That's all you can ask for in an auto shop these days. And it's hard to find someone you can trust. Well, Hud's has proven themselves as a trustworthy business to me. They don't try to upsale or mislead you, and their prices are always fair. As an electrician, I know labor costs money. They do a good job labor wise and typically pretty quick too. They also stand by their warranty for any type of work done. They have taken care of my daughters car multiple times (it's an old car) and have always done a good job. I would definitely recommend Hud's for any type of auto work.
