How to Know When You Need a New Alternator

There are many signs that indicate if you need a new alternator for your vehicle. These signs can include:
  • Odd sounds - If you're noticing any winding or grinding noises, bring your vehicle to us. We can inspect your vehicle for worn out bearings inside your alternator.
  • Bad smells - The friction of your belt can produce a burning rubber smell. This could be the result of the belt slipping on the alternator's pulley.
  • Warning lights - The warning light on your dashboard can also give you an alert that your alternator is malfunctioning. It can be dependent on how much energy your alternator has and how much electricity you're currently using in your vehicle.
  • Dim lights - This is a sign that the electrical system of your vehicle has an issue. The alternator helps give power to the starter and other electrical components. Dim lights are a sign of a potential alternator malfunction.
  • Weak battery - As the alternator helps to maintain the charge of the battery, a failing battery is a sign that your alternator should be inspected. Although your battery isn't meant to last forever, it should be able to at least power your vehicle. If your car is having trouble starting, call us as soon as possible.
