Alternator Belt Roadside Re-Tension & Charging Check MyMechanic

Your alternator belt, sometimes called the serpentine belt, isn’t just another engine part. It transfers power from the engine to essential components like the alternator. Without proper tension, the alternator won’t produce enough charge to keep your battery alive. Common symptoms include:

• The red battery light glowing on your dashboard
• Dimming headlights when idling or driving slowly
• A whining or squealing sound from the engine bay
• Difficulties restarting the car after switching off the ignition

Instead of waiting hours for a tow, our mechanics come directly to you. With the right tools, we can:

• Safely re-tension the alternator belt so it grips properly
• Check alignment to prevent future slipping
• Carry out a charging system test to confirm your alternator is charging as it should
• Test the battery to make sure it can hold enough charge for the rest of your trip
