Derek was very nice and did the job pretty quickly. It did cost less than I was expected as they found that there was no need to replace the front wheel bearing. I would recommend this garage

We think the job was carried out diligently (we'll find out in the upcoming says/weeks), however the people running the garage have absolutely *no* idea about the existence of this website and if you present them the printed email with the quote they are absolutely clueless and need to manually create a new files on their computer. This is pointless, confusing, and error prone.

They were a great help in fitting all new suspension and exhaust system. On top I got full service and a few other things that needed to be done. Rather than Vauxhall who didn’t want to change the suspension. All done really well and a lot of advice given. Will be back. Thanks

Frequently asked questions

What is a car alternator?

The car's alternator performs a simple, but vital job: to keep your car's battery charged. The battery is responsible for starting the car, spark plugs, lights, electrics, and sometimes power steering - quite a job - so it's essential that it's topped up - and that's what the alternator does.

What are common problems with an alternator?

The alternator acts like a small generator: the engine spins it, and the alternator turns that spinning motion into electricity.The most common problems are worn brushes (the component that maintains constant electrical contact with the spinning alternator) and a failing voltage regulator (which ensures that the charge is sent to the battery at the correct voltage.)

What are the common symptoms of alternator problems?

Common signs of car alternator problems include the 'charge' or battery lights flashing on the dashboard, flickering or dimming headlights and interior lights and a growling or whining noise under the bonnet.

What is the average alternator repair cost?

An alternator can be rebuilt as opposed to replaced, however in truth the difference in cost is often quite small. Either way the most common repair cost is around £150-200.

How to test an alternator for problems

A simple way to test an alternator for problems is to do what's known as the headlight test. Park your car with the headlights on or run it in neutral, then rev the engine. If the headlights dim you could well have an alternator problem. A better test is to take your car to a garage, where a car alternator can be tested using a multimeter tool.

What happens if my alternator breaks?

If your alternator fails, your car battery won't charge and, very soon, will have insufficient charge to start the car.
