What is an alternator and why does it matter?
Your alternator is the heart of your vehicle’s electrical system. It turns engine power into electricity—keeping your battery charged and running everything from your lights to your dashboard systems. If your alternator starts to fail, your battery can drain quickly, making it hard to start your car or power essential features. Keeping an eye on its performance and replacing it when needed helps you avoid breakdowns and keeps your vehicle running smoothly.
