Your car’s alternator is responsible for turning the mechanical energy produced by your engine into electrical energy. An alternator also stores excess power in your car’s battery. The ignition system, air conditioners, lighting and other electrical components of your vehicle all rely on your alternator being kept in good working order, so it’s essential to bring your car in for regular alternator repairs. This not only ensures that your vehicle is safe to drive every day, but that it also retains its value should you decide to sell in the future.
While we recommend bringing your vehicle in for an alternator repair every 7-10 years, we recommend getting an alternator repair immediately if you notice one of the following signs:

At S.S.C. Mechanics, our expert car mechanics recommend that you bring your car in for an alternator repair or replacement every 7-10 years or 240,000 km, whichever comes first. Our alternator repair service includes a full diagnostic test to uncover problems like a broken voltage regulator, a damaged pulley and a faulty rectifier. Our technicians then decide whether to perform an alternator repair or a full-on alternator replacement.
We have years of experience providing alternator repairs and replacements to clients in a wide range of Melbourne suburbs, including Essendon, Tullamarine and Moonee Ponds. We also perform repairs on starter motors, a distinct part of your car responsible for starting your engine when you switch on the ignition. Our alternator services includes but not limited to:
Sometimes, the damage to a car’s alternator is so extensive that a repair isn’t possible. In these cases, we’ll replace your alternator. When performing an alternator replacement, our mechanics carefully detach your old alternator from your vehicle by releasing the drive belt and removing the electrical connectors and mounting bolts. We then secure your new alternator into your vehicle by routing the drive belt over the pulleys and re-attaching the electrical connections.
S.S.C. Mechanics offers our alternator replacement service at affordable prices. We have experience replacing alternators on a wide range of vehicles, so whether you own a vintage Mercedes Benz or an American muscle car, you can rest assured that your car is in good hands.
An alternator replacement can either be brand-new or remanufactured. At S.S.C. Mechanics, we strongly recommend replacing your alternator with a brand-new unit as new alternators typically last longer, are safer on the road and help maintain your car’s resale value.
While we do our best to keep our prices low, the costs of servicing your alternator can add up, especially if you need a replacement. This is compounded by the fact that alternator problems can happen at any time. Because of how crucial alternators are to a properly functioning vehicle, we do not recommend putting off alternator repairs.
To help our clients with payments, S.S.C. Mechanics offers Afterpay and zipPay on alternator repairs and replacements, as well as on other vehicle repair services, including start motor repairs, tyre fittings and more. We offer our buy now, pay later option for up to $5,000, which covers the vast majority of alternator repair or replacement jobs.
