How often does the alternator go bad?

Your car alternator can last to about 150,000 miles. The team at McGrath Acura of Morton Grove understands how big of an issue this can be and how frustrating it can be when it just springs on you. This is why we provide an Alternator Inspection & Charging System Service.

When we do this, our team takes a deep look at the overall health of your alternator and how well it is charging your battery and how well your battery is able to hold the charge. We check every part that is connected to it too, like switches, connectors, the alternator belt and more. When your alternator belt breaks, the alternator itself cannot rotate in the way it needs to and also hinder the electric components of your car.
