Alternator Service & Repair

Have you ever wondered what constantly supplies your car with power to essential systems like lights, wipers, and your car's battery? The answer is: the alternator. At BG Automotive, we specialize in pinpointing and repairing alternator problems to ensure your vehicle stays powered.

The alternator is responsible for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. It powers your vehicle’s electrical systems and keeps the battery charged while the engine is on. Without a working alternator, your car may experience electrical failures, difficulty starting, or complete breakdowns.
