Starter & Alternator Services

When you turn the key, you expect your engine to start—every time. Our starter and alternator services ensure that reliability. We perform rigorous bench tests on these components to diagnose failures accurately. A faulty starter might click but not engage, while a weak alternator can lead to a dead battery and electrical failures. We replace them with high-premium units that meet or exceed OE specifications. Trust our Lanham mechanics to quickly resolve your no-start or charging system issues.

The problem isn't always the alternator itself. We diagnose the entire charging circuit, including the battery, voltage regulator, serpentine belt, and wiring. Using multimeters and oscilloscopes, we measure voltage output under load and check for AC ripple that indicates failing diodes inside the alternator. This comprehensive approach ensures we fix the actual problem, not just swap parts. We'll provide a clear explanation of our findings and the most effective solution to get you back on the road reliably.

Signs of Impending Failure

Recognizing early warnings can prevent a breakdown. For alternators, watch for dimming headlights, a battery warning light, or electrical glitches. A struggling starter may crank the engine slowly or make a grinding noise. If you hear a single loud click but no crank, it could be a solenoid issue. Don't wait for a complete failure, especially before a long trip. Trust your vehicle to our Prince George's County shop for a trusted electrical system test and avoid being stranded.
