Alternators

Essential Components for a Reliable Start

Expert Alternator and Starter Motor Services

The alternator and starter motor are key components of your vehicle’s electrical system, playing a crucial role in starting your engine and keeping it running. The starter motor cranks your engine to start, while the alternator charges the battery and powers the electrical system while your car is running. Issues with either of these components can lead to difficulties in starting your vehicle or could result in insufficient power to operate your car’s electrical systems. Mobile Automotive Solutions specializes in diagnosing, repairing, and replacing starter motors and alternators, ensuring your vehicle has the power it needs when you turn the key.

Signs of Starter Motor or Alternator Issues

Difficulty in starting your vehicle isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a sign that there might be an underlying issue with your car’s electrical system, particularly with the starter motor or alternator. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may be time to have your vehicle checked by our professionals:

  • Engine Struggles to Turn Over: This classic symptom could indicate issues with the starter motor or a failing alternator that’s not charging your battery adequately.
  • Dimming Lights or Electrical Issues: If your car’s lights dim while running or you experience other electrical issues, it could be a sign that the alternator is not providing enough power.
  • Warning Lights on the Dashboard: Many vehicles have a battery or alternator warning light that illuminates when there’s an issue with the charging system.
  • Unusual Noises When Starting: Grinding, clicking, or any unusual noises when attempting to start the vehicle can indicate a problem with the starter motor.
