While the battery provides the power needed to start your car, the alternator is the component that recharges the battery to provide power for your vehicle’s electrical components using energy from the engine.
Alternators can last anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 miles. A failing alternator has similar symptoms as a dying battery, so having your vehicle tested as soon as you have trouble starting your car or notice electrical failures can determine whether the issue is with the battery, alternator, or other starting and charging system part.

Let’s take a deeper look at a common vehicle symptom: vibrating at high speeds.
A car that vibrates at high speeds can indicate:
- Out of balance or unevenly worn tires
- Bad spark plugs
- Worn wheel bearings
- Bad ball joints
- Wrong fuel/air mixture in engine pistons
- Clogged or dirty fuel filter
- Bent axles
- Misaligned wheels
There are many potential causes for this common symptom, so having the issue inspected by a professional is the best course of action when it comes to fixing a vibrating vehicle.
Does this look familiar? Regular oil change service is crucial, typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your driving style and the manufacturer’s specifications.
Happy Friday! Does your vehicle have any funny or quirky features?
What does different colored car exhaust smoke indicate?
Black - Clogged air filter or other issue causing the wrong air/fuel mixture in the engine
White - Cooling system leak
Blue - Oil leak inside the engine
Seeing excessive amounts of any colored exhaust smoke is an issue that needs to be inspected as soon as possible.
Did you know that cooling system failure is one of the leading causes of vehicle breakdowns? It's important to check your coolant level on a regular basis to catch small issues before they become major issues.
