Get Back on the Road: Alternator Repair

Your car’s alternator is the heart of its electrical system. It keeps the battery charged and powers everything from your headlights to your radio. When your alternator begins to fail, you’ll notice it quickly — dimming lights, warning indicators on your dashboard, electrical issues, or even a car that simply refuses to start. If you suspect something’s wrong, it’s important to have it inspected by professionals right away before it leaves you stranded. That’s where Don & Harold’s Car Care comes in.
