Alternator Repair/Replacement Service
How does an alternator help your car run?
The alternator is a component that charges the battery in your car. When you use electrical components in your car (Radio, lights, etc.), the battery loses power. The alternator recharges the battery, replenishing the lost battery power. The alternator is located in the engine compartment. If the alternator is not working properly, your car will only stay running for as long as the battery has power stored. Once the battery loses power, your car will not start. Normally, a malfunctioning alternator will turn on the battery warning light or will have a low volt gauge reading.
Before repairing the alternator:
The Technician should check the entire charging system before installing a new alternator, including checking battery cables for corrosion and the condition/expiry date of the battery.
How it's done:
Inspect the entire charging system (battery, cables, alternator).
Inspect the drive belts.
Test alternator output.
Remove and replace the alternator if found to be faulty.
Re-test alternator output.
Our recommendation:
Ask your technician to inspect the condition of the charging system during every major service. The technician should also clean & tighten the battery cables during every major service.
What are the common symptoms indicating you may need to replace the Alternator?
Dead battery or battery will not hold the charge.
Battery warning light is on.
Dim lights.
How important is this service?
The alternator charges the battery, which powers the electronics in your vehicle, such as the radio and the air conditioning. The battery is also needed to turn on your vehicle. A malfunctioning alternator will not charge your car’s battery, and your vehicle will eventually run out of battery life and not be able to start.
