The Importance of Starter Motor & Alternator in Your Car
The starter motor is responsible for turning the engine over when you turn the ignition key. If the starter motor is faulty, it can result in a failure to start, which can be quite frustrating for car owners. If your starter motor is cranking but the engine does not start or only starts after several attempts, it is advisable to have the starter motor inspected for any potential faults that may have developed.
An alternator plays a crucial role in regulating the electrical supply to all the car’s electrical components. It also channels any excess power back to the battery, preventing any overcurrent that could harm the electrical components. Any issues with the alternator can lead to an inconsistent power supply and potential burnout of the vehicle’s electrical parts. Our auto electrical technician will assess the voltage output to determine if the alternator is providing a higher or lower current voltage than what is specified. Following a comprehensive diagnosis, they will recommend whether the alternator needs servicing, repair, reconditioning, or replacement with an OEM-approved alternator.
It is not always necessary to replace the starter motor or alternator each time they malfunction. Often, these components may only need servicing, cleaning, or the replacement of a defective part. Proper servicing or repairs by qualified mechanics can restore these components to optimal functionality. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is essential.
