Services

Paying attention to your vehicle is important to ensure that it is performing at its best. At Furgerson's Garage, located just west of the 101 in Encinitas, we provide a number of auto repair services, including alternator repairs, should something go wrong.

The alternator is an important player in an automobile's charging system. It generates current to recharge the battery and controls all the accessories on a vehicle such as the headlights.

Possible Symptoms of Alternator Problems

If your vehicle has any of the following symptoms, there may be something wrong with the alternator:

• Warning light—if the warning light located on the dashboard comes on, this may be an indication that something is wrong with the alternator. The warning light may be shaped like a battery or display the letters, "ALT" for alternator or "GEN" for generator.
• Dimmed lights—if the headlights in your vehicle are dimmer than usual, this could also be a sign of a problem with the alternator.
• Smell of burning rubber—the smell of burning rubber can be a symptom of an alternator that is overheating.
• Dead Battery—a battery may lose its juice when the alternator fails.
