The battery light comes on, or the headlights get dim at a stoplight. Sometimes the car cranks fine in the driveway but stalls or won't restart an hour later. That is usually the alternator, not the battery, and it gets worse the longer you drive on it. We come to your home or office in Cincinnati, test the charging system, and fix it there.
Call (513) 650-5892A failing alternator struggles most at idle, and Cincinnati drivers sit at idle more than they would like. I-71 and I-75 run together through the city and both cross the Ohio River on the Brent Spence Bridge, so one backup there can back up traffic on both interstates at the same time. A car with a weak alternator can drain its battery dead in that kind of stop-and-go before it ever clears the bridge. We carry test equipment and replacement alternators on the truck, so most jobs get diagnosed and finished in one visit. If the part has to be ordered for your specific engine, we will tell you that up front instead of guessing.

Same-day service is available in most cases. If we have the right alternator for your vehicle on the truck, we test it, replace it, and you are back on the road that visit.
You can usually drive a short distance, but the battery is running the car alone once the alternator stops charging. It can die without warning, sometimes in traffic, so get it looked at before you plan a longer trip.
