When your vehicle’s alternator fails, it doesn’t just drain your battery — it can stop your business or journey altogether. At FLEETDOC Ltd, Peterborough, we provide professional alternator supply, fitting, and system inspection services to keep your car, van, or fleet reliable, safe, and powered up.
Why Alternator Health Matters
The alternator powers essential systems in your vehicle: lights, dashboard electronics, sensors, infotainment, and charging ports. A weak alternator leads to:
Sudden breakdowns and downtime
Battery drain and failure
Electrical glitches (dim lights, dashboard errors)
Increased maintenance costs
For commercial vehicles and fleets, alternator reliability is crucial for uptime and operational efficiency.
Signs Your Alternator May Be Failing
Drivers often search for early warning signs. Watch out for:
Dashboard battery warning light (or “ALT/GEN”)
Dimming or flickering headlights
Difficulty starting or frequent jump starts
Strange noises from the engine bay (whining or grinding)
Electrical systems cutting out (radio, aircon, power windows)
Battery dying even after replacement
If you spot one or more of these, it’s time to book an alternator check with FLEETDOC.
