What this service includes
Charging complaints are frequently wiring, not hardware — a corroded ground strap or a chafed harness can imitate a bad alternator perfectly. We check voltage drop across the circuit before condemning a component.
Starters get tested under load and while hot, since many only misbehave once the engine bay warms up.
- Charging system voltage-drop testing
- Alternator output and ripple testing
- Starter draw testing
- Ground and harness repair
- Alternator and starter replacement
- Belt and pulley inspection
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it the battery or the alternator?
- That is exactly what testing answers. A battery that keeps going flat after a jump usually means the alternator is not keeping up.
- Can I drive with a bad alternator?
- Only briefly. Once the battery drains the engine shuts down, often in traffic. Get it tested the same day.
