The first sign of a problem is weak starts, dim headlights, radio quits playing, air conditionings works intermittently, the list is long but these are quick to notice when you drive the car daily. At this point your charging system needs to be checked.

The problem may be as simple as replacing the battery, note...only after it has been recharged manually and test have been done to evaluate the battery alone.

Never, Never let someone change your alternator or generator without a fully charged battery to start with. This is where we start, with the battery, if we do not have the time because you are in a hurry to fully charge your battery before a test is done on your electrical system we provide a fresh hot battery to do this test as part of our diagnostics procedures. Once we determine a good battery is in your vehicle we begin our test to find the output of your existing alternator. We then do a load test with all vehicle equipment turned on and determine the precise reading of the alternator.

ALL ALTERNATORS are not the same, please be cautious of cheap "knock-offs" some discount warehouses offer, these "knock-off's are cheap imitations of the original units on your vehicle and in Texas will not survives the first 100 degree day under the best of conditions. You may think you are getting a bargain but who has to put that alternator on your vehicle? You or a friend, be prepared to do it again and again. did you have to pay your friend, it's not their fault the alternator failed.
