Silvhorn Automotive technicians are automotive electrical specialists. From alternators to headlights, we have got your vehicle covered.

Starter

Located on the back of the engine or the front of the transmission, the starter cranks the engine when the ignition switch is turned on.

We recommend testing your starter to ensure it is drawing the correct amount of current every spring.

Alternator

The alternator is your car’s electrical charger. Its various parts are in an aluminum housing and generate direct current for recharging your vehicle’s battery. Your vehicle’s alternator also helps power the other electrical loads of your car.

We recommend having your alternator’s drive belt checked at every oil change. A loose alternator belt can reduce alternator output and run down your battery.

Have your car’s entire charging system checked yearly. If you see signs of a poor alternator, poor light operation, a dead battery, frequent bulb replacement and dashboard warning lights, you may have problems with your vehicle’s alternator. Your Silvhorn Automotive technician can install a new alternator if necessary.

Battery

The battery is the backbone of your vehicle’s electrical system as it supplies power to the starter and ignition system. Your vehicle’s battery also delivers extra energy when the electrical load exceeds the alternator’s supply.

Having your battery and its connections checked at every oil change would be best. If your battery is more than three years old, it’s a good idea to think about replacing it. Silvhorn Automotive carries a variety of quality name-brand batteries.
