Why You Might Need an Alternator Repair
As a car-owner, it’s pretty important to keep on top of the health of your alternator.
The alternator is responsible for supplying electrical power to your vehicle. The battery is the electrical storage device needed to start your engine but once the engine is running it won’t last long on just the battery alone. The alternator’s job is to re-charge the battery for your next start and to power vehicle components such as lighting, control units, fans, fuel pump, injectors and much more.
Alternators are generally driven by the engine’s fan belt and have a varied output depending on vehicle demands. It can be a stressful time when the alternator on your car needs repairing, but with the team at Gold Coast Car Electrics & Mechanical,

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Yes, in many cases we can repair the alternator by installing new parts to it, but we will advise you to whether it’s more economical for you to fix or replace your alternator. In these times, with the quality units available through us that come with long warranty periods, it may just be better long term to replace the unit.
One of the first signs there might be a problem with your alternator is if a warning light comes on. Often this will be a battery symbol, but it doesn’t necessarily mean there is a battery problem.
If your battery keeps going flat, the alternator is making unusual noises or if it’s just not keeping up electrically bring either your unit or vehicle to us and we can check it out.
The most common problems to arise with a faulty alternator are worn carbon brushes, worn sliprings, bearings or a faulty rectifier.
