Come to our alternator shop to get the replacement part you need for your vehicle.
While not all engines are alike, most have some essential designs and parts in common. For example, the engines in cars, trucks, ATVs, forklifts, and other equipment all use alternators to keep their batteries charged. For those who are unfamiliar with engine parts, the alternator is essentially a generator designed to convert the mechanical energy from the motion of the wheels into electrical energy to keep the battery charged, which in turn ensures the engine can start up again after it is stopped. Because they are so important, alternators are designed to last a long time, but all will eventually need to be replaced. When the time comes for your vehicle, you can come to our alternator shop at Longview Alternator & Starter Co. to get the replacement alternator you need.

How do I know if my alternator is failing?
A defective or failed alternator might cause dim or flickering dashboard lights or headlights, strange noises under the hood, and problems starting your vehicle or equipment. You may also see a warning light on your dashboard or experience issues with a low or dead battery. If you notice any of these problems, we strongly advise you to have your alternator checked out at our shop to avoid a full breakdown.
Does a broken alternator always require replacement?
It depends on how seriously damaged or old your alternator is. If your alternator has just minor issues, one of our qualified technicians can often provide the repairs required to get your equipment back up and running. If your alternator is beyond the threshold of cost-effective repair, you can rely on us to provide a high-quality replacement. We will work with you to select the best fit based on your vehicle’s needs, your budget, and other important considerations.
How long does it take to fix or replace an alternator?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the problem and the type of equipment. If your equipment just has minor alternator problems, an alternator can typically be fixed or replaced within 1 or 2 business days. However, for more complex repair work or less common devices, it may take a few days to obtain the necessary parts and complete the task.
