Alternator Service and Replacement

If your vehicle is having trouble starting, the issue might not be with the battery but with the alternator.

At Parkway Car Care, we provide comprehensive alternator diagnostics and replacement services if needed. If your car is experiencing starting problems, our nationally ASE-certified technicians will thoroughly inspect and test the alternator as well as the entire charging system to identify the root cause and get your vehicle back on the road, starting reliably.

The alternator is a crucial component of your vehicle. When your car is running, the alternator powers all the electrical systems and recharges the battery. In earlier times, a vehicle’s electrical demands were minimal, limited to the spark plugs, pumps, fans, and a radio. However, today’s vehicles have far greater electrical demands, including power windows, numerous embedded computers and sensors, GPS, entertainment systems, and electronic dashboards—all of which depend on the alternator. If the alternator malfunctions, the battery will drain quickly.

If you're unsure whether your electrical system is functioning properly, bring your vehicle to Parkway Car Care in Rowlett. We will inspect the charging system and inform you if any issues require attention. All services and repairs at our Rowlett auto repair shop come with:
