Understanding Your Alternator and Starter
If you're having trouble starting your car, the battery might not be the only factor to consider. Issues with your starter or alternator can also lead to starting problems.
Your starter is responsible for cranking your engine to life. When it's faulty, you might notice it hesitating or failing to start your engine entirely. This can be due to electrical faults, mechanical breakdowns, or complete failure.
On the other hand, your alternator does two essential things for your vehicle. It recharges the battery while the car is running and powers critical electrical systems like your headlights and windshield wipers. A malfunctioning alternator could result in inconsistent electrical performance or cause your engine to stall. If your engine starts but dies soon after, it's often because your alternator isn't charging the battery. If you're unsure what's causing the issue, our team can diagnose the problem for you.
