Luckily my local friend recommended Organic Mechanic, they were absolutely helpful and quickly remedied the situation. Not only did they fix the issue in a timely fashion, they provided me a thorough diagnostic and the option to address them or not. No questions asked. My experience there was stellar. I was treated with courtesy and respect. Bert was friendly and personable, seemed like a stand up guy. I made it back to Philly w/o any issues.

A healthy alternator is essential for keeping the battery charged and powering electrical systems. When the alternator begins to fail, it can cause a host of problems that affect your car's performance and reliability, making it important to visit the shop at the first sign of trouble. At The Organic Mechanic, we provide expert alternator replacement and auto electric repair in the greater Asheville, NC area. Here are five common signs of an alternator problem. Dim or Flickering Lights If your headlights or interior lights are dimming or flickering, it could indicate a problem with the alternator. Since the alternator supplies power to your vehicle's electrical systems, failing to do so consistently can cause lights to lose brightness or flicker. Battery Warning Light Today’s vehicles commonly have a dashboard warning light that looks like a battery icon or says ALT or GEN. If this light turns on, it’s often a sign that the alternator is not generating enough power. While this light can indicate a battery issue, it’s often tied to alternator problems. Strange Sounds A failing alternator can sometimes cause strange sounds under the hood. You might hear a grinding or whining noise, which is typically a result of a worn-out bearing in the alternator or issues with the belt that powers it. These sounds shouldn’t be ignored, as they signal mechanical trouble. Electrical Accessory Failures Since the alternator powers your vehicle’s electrical systems, issues like malfunctioning power windows or radio could be signs of a failing alternator. If multiple electrical components start acting up at once, the alternator may not be providing sufficient power to keep them running. Dead Battery A dead battery is one of the most obvious signs of alternator trouble. While batteries naturally lose their charge over time, a failing alternator can accelerate this process by not charging the battery properly while the engine is running. If your battery frequently dies, it’s worth having your alternator checked.
