FAQs
How do I know if my alternator needs replacement?
Common signs include dim or flickering headlights, your car battery frequently dying, electrical accessories acting strangely, or a dashboard warning light showing up. Our technicians can test your charging system to confirm if the alternator needs attention.
How long does an alternator replacement take?
Most alternator replacements are completed within a few hours, though this may vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model. We strive to minimize downtime and keep you updated throughout your visit.
Will a failing alternator damage my battery?

We install manufacturer-quality parts, which support a safe, long-lasting repair and are compatible with your vehicle’s electrical system.

FAQs
-
Q. "Why is the alternator important?"The alternator helps the battery maintain power. As the car is driving, it’s gaining power from the engine. During this time, the alternator is charging the battery. When the car stops running, the charge from the alternator allows the battery to continue providing power to the car.
-
Q. "What does the alternator do?"As an alternate source of power, the alternator helps many features in the car run. It helps your air conditioning maintain proper airflow, powers the radio, and turns on the headlights, among other things. It can also add power to the engine.
-
Q. "Where is the alternator located?"You’ll typically find the alternator near the front of the engine, bolted in with two brackets. One is adjustable (to allow for drive belt-tightening) while the other is fixed.
-
Q. "What are some signs that my starter is going bad?"Some common symptoms that your starter is going bad or is dead include: clicking or other odd noises, lights working in your car but the engine won't turn, taking more than one attempt to start, or smoke coming from the hood.
