If you’ve ever taken your vehicle into a Grafton area mechanic’s shop, they may have mentioned one of your vehicle’s components known as an alternator. What does an alternator do? How much is an alternator, for that matter? Don’t worry – the team at Dan Cava's GMC is here to answer these questions! Continue reading to learn more – and be sure to contact us if you have any questions!
Traditional gas and diesel vehicles use a battery to start, as well as to power various accessories. But the battery only has so much capacity – and if there wasn’t some sort of recharging system, we’d be recharging and replacing batteries on Morgantown roadsides all the time! The car part known as the alternator is what solves this problem, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy that’s used to power accessories and recharge the battery while your vehicle is running.
If your alternator is on its way out, there are a few symptoms that should be fairly easy to recognize. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a service appointment with our team of certified mechanics today!
