EXPERT AUTO INSPECTION

Alternators are critical to the overall health of your vehicle. The alternator is what powers a vehicle's electrical system and charges the battery. An alternator problem will affect your whole vehicle. If you're experiencing any alternator symptoms indicating trouble under the hood, get it checked out an auto technician at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care store. After a vehicle inspection, we can perform an alternator repair or replacement and get you back on the road in no time.

ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS OR BATTERY PROBLEMS?

Look for the following car symptoms to check for alternator problems and battery problems.

• Warning Lights: The warning light signaling alternator problems is often shaped like a battery or appears as "ALT" or "GEN".
• Loud Noises: If the alternator belt or pulley becomes misaligned, a whining noise can occur. This is a sign the alternator could soon stop working.
• Dead Battery: A battery that fails to charge or regularly dies can be a sign you need alternator repair.
• Flickering Vehicle Lights: If the lights throughout your car begin to flicker or dim, that can be a sign of alternator problems.
