How much does it cost to replace an alternator?

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:39:46 GMT

(iSeeCars) -- Your alternator is one of the hardest working parts on your vehicle. It’s a common misconception that the battery in your vehicle is what supplies your power while the vehicle is running. The alternator not only supplies power to all of your vehicle’s electrical components while the vehicle is running, but it’s also recharging your car battery at the same time.
