Bad Alternator

An alternator is a robust component with relatively few parts. Despite this, it can wear out or become damaged by other components. The alternator has the important job of producing your car’s electricity, making an alternator failure an even more serious issue. If your alternator starts to fail, you’ll always receive a warning that it’s in trouble.

Signs of an alternator problem include dim lights, random electrical malfunctions, and strange sounds under the hood. Other issues could also cause these signs, and a swift diagnosis is essential for fixing the problem. If you experience any strange electrical behavior, call us ASAP, and our Chevy-trained technicians will investigate. We’ll repair any alternator problem or replace it if it fails.

Damaged Wiring

Your car contains a huge quantity of wiring. Electrical wiring is essential, as the power generated by the alternator has to be supplied to all your accessories and devices. A car’s engine isn’t the easiest environment for wiring, as it’s hot and dirty, and the wires are subject to occasional movement. All of these factors can lead to damaged wiring.

All the wiring in your car is carefully protected and secured. Unfortunately, copper wiring can wear out over time and become damaged. We examine the various wiring sections during your routine services to ensure they’re in good condition and working correctly. Any damaged wiring will cut off power to the components connected to it, and this can lead to additional issues.

Starting Problems

Your starting system is dependent on electricity. When you press the button or turn the key, an electrical charge is sent to the starter motor from the battery. In turn, the battery depends on the alternator to replace the power used to start the engine. If your car is regularly serviced, all these components will work smoothly.

All components will wear out as they age, and a failure of any of these three components will cause starting difficulties. Starting problems tend to appear gradually, and the frequency will escalate if the issue isn’t resolved. Our technicians can test all the components of your starting system and repair or replace them.
