Alternator FAQs
Can a bad battery cause the alternator light?
Yes — that’s why we test both. A weak battery, belt issue or poor connection can mimic alternator faults.
Can you do it on a driveway?
Many alternators can be replaced on-site, but some vehicles have restricted access. We’ll advise after checking the reg.
Will the car run with a failed alternator?
Usually only until the battery drains. If it’s cutting out, avoid driving and message us for options.
