Starter & Alternator Repair

What’s so important about a vehicle's alternator & starter?

Modern cars are filled with electronics to make your ride more efficient, comfortable, and safe. But all these components rely on your alternator. As you use electronics in your vehicle (such as the stereo, navigation, or even the headlights), the battery gets used. The alternator keeps the battery topped up. If your alternator stops working, then once your battery runs down, your car could lose power while driving. Not only is this inconvenient, but unsafe.

The starter gets the engine fired up, and when your starter goes, your car won’t be going anywhere. If your vehicle doesn’t start, there might be a problem with the alternator or the starter. With all the complex electrical systems, you need an experienced and well-trained mechanic.

Common signs your charging system needs a mechanic

Your vehicle’s charging system keeps the battery topped off. If your starter and/or alternator aren’t working correctly, you could find yourself stranded, or even worse, in an accident should you lose power while driving. If you have to keep jump-starting the battery, this can quickly wear out the battery.

Look out for the following signs that it’s time to look at alternator repair:

Your car has difficulty starting in the morning
A clicking noise when you try and start your vehicle
Your headlights are dimmer than usual
Groaning or squealing coming from the engine bay
Windows are slow to roll up and down
Your battery needs frequent jump-starts
Your battery warning light is on

Common charging system malfunctions

There are many ways a charging system can stop working. Some are more common than others. But our experienced mechanics know what to look for.

A squealing noise could indicate a slipping belt or a stuck alternator pulley. Sometimes the belt simply needs adjustment. But if it needs replacement, our technicians can take care of it.

Difficulty starting or clicking noises can be something simple like a low battery or something complex like trouble with a starter. By testing the starter and the battery with specialized equipment, our technicians can pinpoint the problem.

Unless there are obvious signs of damage, it’s hard to visually check an alternator. Your mechanic can perform an alternator charging test using diagnostic tools to determine if the alternator is putting out the power it should and if not, they can install a replacement alternator.

An experienced mechanic knows to look for issues with the wiring that may cause problems with your alternator or starter. As cars age, wires can become brittle and break. Replacing these broken wires can often be more affordable than a costly alternator repair.

THE BENEFITS OF OUR alternator and starter repair

Easier Starting

A charging system running in tip-top shape can take the uncertainty out of starting your car in the morning.

More comfort

A powerful alternator can keep your headlights bright, your air conditioner running at maximum efficiency in the winter, your favorite songs playing on the radio, and your heated seats keeping you toasty in the winter.

Save Money

A faulty charging system or a sticky alternator belt can make the engine run less efficiently, increasing your fuel consumption. Even worse, it can prematurely wear out expensive car batteries. By keeping your alternator in top shape, you can restore lost fuel economy, and protect your investment.

Preventing Alternator or Starter Problems

You don’t need to climb in your vehicle every day wondering if it’s going to start or not. With the complexity of today’s vehicles, and with electricity involved, you probably don’t want to be poking at electronics in the engine bay. Different manufacturers have different intervals for inspecting the charging system, so don’t let alternator or starter problems sneak up on you.
