Got Alternator Problems? We Replace Alternators for Cars, Trucks & SUVs - If you're having electrical issues like dimming lights or a dead battery, it might be time to inspect your alternator—a critical part of your vehicle's charging system. We replace and install new, rebuilt, performance, and heavy-duty alternators—quickly and affordably.
What Does an Alternator Do? The alternator works alongside the battery and voltage regulator to power your vehicle's electrical systems while keeping the battery charged. It converts mechanical energy—via a serpentine belt or V-belt—into electrical energy using a magnetic field. The alternator even powers essential systems like:
- Headlights
- Dashboard instruments
- A/C and heater fans
- Vehicle computers
- Without a functioning alternator, your battery will eventually lose power and your vehicle will become inoperable.
Warning Signs of a Failing Alternator - Keep an eye out for these common symptoms:
- Dimming or flickering headlights
- Dashboard warning lights
- Frequent dead batteries
- Strange noises or whining
- Burning rubber smell (may signal a slipping belt)
- If you're experiencing any of these signs, it’s time for an Alternator & Electrical System Check.
