The alternator is the heart of your vehicle's electrical system, responsible for charging the battery and powering everything from your headlights to your radio. If you're experiencing dimming lights, a battery warning light on your dash, or difficulty starting your car, you may have a failing alternator.
At Mel's Garage, our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to test your entire charging system and determine if a repair or replacement is needed to keep you on the road.
We perform a complete diagnostic of your battery, alternator, and starter to accurately identify the problem.
We use high-quality OEM or premium aftermarket alternators to ensure reliable performance and longevity.
We inspect the serpentine belt and tensioner for wear and tear, as these are critical for proper alternator function.
We use specialized equipment to test your battery's health and measure the alternator's voltage and amperage output.
Our technicians safely disconnect the battery, then carefully remove the old alternator and serpentine belt.
We install the new, high-quality alternator, fit the belt, and ensure the tensioner is set to the correct specification.
After reconnecting the battery, we perform a final test to confirm the new alternator is charging the system correctly.
