Welcome to Schmidt Auto Care | Springboro, OH

Starting and keeping your vehicle running is something we all take for granted. When it’s going well, it’s easy not to notice. However, problems with the alternator and starter can impede on this seemingly simple process. Check below to find more info on what these problems are and how to fix them too.

What’s an Alternator?

The alternator is what keeps your car battery charged. While you’re driving, the alternator takes energy produced by the motor and charges the battery.

When to Get an Alternator Replaced

Jump starts can be a normal part of having a vehicle that works well. Sometimes we all leave a light on and drain the battery. It happens. However, if you need to jump-start your vehicle often or if the car dies immediately after being jumped, this is a sign that your alternator might need to be replaced. Another sign is a squealing sound when you’re putting a strain on the electrical system of your car by using lots of heat in the winter. If you need jumps more frequently than you should, especially with a new battery, this is a red flag that you might need an alternator repair. Lastly, if your vehicle shows a check engine or checks battery light, this is one of the easiest signs that you could need your alternator replaced.

Luckily for you, alternator problems for you are no problem to us at Schmidt Auto Care. We’ll quickly diagnose whether the alternator is the problem and repair it quickly. We believe nobody should have problems starting or keeping their car running at Schmidt Auto Care. We’ll take care of your next alternator repair.

 

 

What’s a starter?

Another potential problem when starting your vehicle is the starter. Vehicle starters are small motor attached to the battery that starts the vehicle when the key is turned. This is what turns the engine over.

When to Get a Starter Replaced

It can be a nightmare knowing that your battery is fully charged, and your vehicle still won’t start. If you get a jump, and your vehicle still won’t start, this is a telltale sign that it could be a starter problem. You can avoid this embarrassing hassle by checking to see if the lights are working while the vehicle won’t start. This is a sign that the battery is working even though the engine won’t turn over. If there are problems with the engine turning over after you’ve confirmed you have a working, charged battery, this is another sign that you have a damaged or malfunctioning starter and should get it replaced. While it may be a big hassle for you, replacing the starter is a piece of cake for us at Schmidt Auto Care. We can quickly diagnose and treat the problem like an expert doctor with the flu.
