Signs the alternator is going
A weak battery or a bad cable can look the same. Testing tells you which part has actually failed before you spend money on it.
Battery light on while driving
The warning light usually means the charging system has stopped keeping up.
Dim or flickering lights
Headlights and dash lights that brighten when you rev the engine point at charging.
A battery that keeps dying
A new or freshly charged battery that goes flat again after a few days of driving.
Whining or grinding up front
Worn bearings inside the alternator often make noise before they fail.

D and D rebuilt my old alternator with very reasonable prices and exceptionally fast turnaround. He also took the time to test the various parts while I waited to get me the most accurate quote possible.
Common questions
More answers on the home page, or call the shop during hours.
Is it worth rebuilding an alternator?
Often, yes. A rebuild replaces the worn parts inside your own alternator, so it keeps the original fit and mounting. It is the best route when a new unit is expensive, back-ordered or no longer made.
Can I bring in just the alternator?
Yes. Plenty of customers pull the alternator themselves and bring it in on its own. We test it, call you with the estimate and rebuild it.
How long does an alternator rebuild take?
It depends on the unit and whether parts are on hand. Call (303) 423-6522 with the make, model and year and we'll give you an honest idea.
