What Causes Starter and Alternator Failure?

Starters and alternators are built to last, but they’re not invincible. Over time, heat, vibration, corrosion, and wear can cause them to fail. Common signs include:

Clicking or grinding when starting

Dim or flickering lights

Battery warning light on the dash

Slow cranking or no start at all

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. A failing alternator or starter can leave you stranded.

Common Questions About Starter & Alternator Repair

  • Can I drive with a bad alternator?

    Not for long. A failing alternator won’t charge your battery, which means your vehicle will eventually shut down. It’s best to get it checked right away.

  • How do I know if it’s the starter or the battery?

    If your lights work but the engine won’t crank, it’s likely the starter. If nothing turns on, it could be the battery or alternator. We’ll test it and let you know.

  • Do you repair or replace the parts?

    We do both. If the unit can be repaired, we’ll fix it. If not, we’ll offer a replacement or rebuilt option.
