Alternator

Your alternator keeps the battery charged and powers every electrical system in your car while the engine is running. When it fails, electrical gremlins start appearing and you can find yourself stranded.

Signs You Need This Service

• Battery warning light on the dash
• Dim or flickering headlights, especially at idle
• Electrical accessories cutting in and out
• A new battery that keeps going flat
• A whining or grinding noise from the engine bay
• Burning rubber or hot-electrical smell

How The Handsome Mechanic Can Help

1. Full charging-system test with a digital multimeter to confirm whether the alternator, the battery, or the drive belt is the real cause.
2. Inspect the alternator wiring, plug, and pulley for damage or corrosion.
3. Quote you on repair or replacement before any work starts.
4. Fit a quality replacement and re-test under load to make sure it’s charging correctly across all RPMs.
