Replace Alternator with Mobile Auto Repair

Your alternator is a generator that powers your engine, and recharges your battery. If it’s failing, you may notice that the car won’t start, your electrical display flickers, and there could be strange noises or the smell of burning wires from under the hood.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's not recommended. You can still drive (read: make the car move) with a bad alternator, but it’s a gamble, and a potentially fatal one at highway speeds. If your alternator is failing, it means that your car can stall out suddenly and there may not be any immediate warning signs that it's about to happen. A working alternator is a critical component of your vehicle.

It's not possible to jump start an alternator. You can jump start a battery, but the alternator is an electric generator that does not store electricity. It supplies power to the entire electrical system while the engine is running and recharges the battery while in operation. If you were to jump start a car that had a faulty alternator, it is possible it may start, but it would eventually stop running when the remaining power in the battery is exhausted.
