Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Car Alternator

The alternator is located on the engine and is one of the most important parts of the charging system. Alternators recharge the battery while the engine is running; typically they don’t require any maintenance and only need to be replaced if they stop working. When the alternator fails, your engine will run, but only until its battery power is drained. Most alternators last around 100,000 to 150,000 miles, but they can last longer, especially if you drive your car daily.

Super nice people, Conner was at the front desk as well as another person but I didn’t catch her name. Both were helpful. The shop couldn’t repair my issue due to the manufacturer requiring specific tools. They did a safety inspection and didn’t charge me for it or for the diagnostics since they couldn’t perform the fix!
