What is included in an Alternator Inspection in San Antonio, TX

Your alternator has an important job. It directs power through your entire vehicle and impacts several important components. When it malfunctions, your vehicle’s battery might have trouble maintaining a charge. Your air conditioner, power steering, or even your infotainment system might malfunction.

When the team at Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest performs a full inspection of your alternator, we’ll evaluate all the components of your charging system. That includes your starter, your battery, and your alternator. We’ll check the relays, cables, switches, belts, and solenoids to make sure that all parts of your charging system are in operational condition. If they aren’t, we’ll make the proper repairs.

Why Should You Get an Alternator Inspection in San Antonio, TX

While your battery is the source of electrical power in your vehicle, the alternator is responsible for routing the power to other components in your car, truck, or SUV. If it stops working, so will other components of your vehicle. If you’ve noticed that you have dim or flickering headlamps, a glitchy infotainment system, or a failing climate control system, your charging system or alternator might be the culprit.

Signs of a Failing Alternator

• Dim lights
• Consistently dead battery
• Accessories that operate slowly or not at all (i.e. power windows that take longer to roll up or down)
• Trouble starting your vehicle
• Frequent stalling
• Growling or whining noises
• Burning rubber smell
