Your alternator performs the impressive feat of turning your engine's mechanical energy into electrical power. It does this by spinning magnets around a coil, which generates alternating current (AC). It then converts this AC energy into DC energy to power all the electricity in your car. If you experience any of the following seven indicators of alternator trouble, head to your local Chevy dealer in Jacksonville, TX for alternator repair before all your electronics start to fail. Top Signs Your Car Needs an Alternator Repair Dimming Headlamps While driving at night, the first sign of alternator trouble you'll notice is usually dimming headlights. Unless the bulbs or wiring are failing, a healthy alternator should always keep headlights at maximum brightness. more Faltering Electronics The next sign will often be problems with other electronic accessories throughout your vehicle. You might notice issues with your air conditioning, power steering, automatic windows, radio, or something else. Battery Not Charging Your battery will no longer be charging when the alternator fails. This becomes most noticeable when the engine has stopped. Without engine power, your battery alone is responsible for all the electronics. None of them would work if the battery failed to charge. Engine Won't Start Components of your engine also need electrical power to work, primarily the ignition coils. If your alternator failed to recharge your battery on your last drive, then your engine is unlikely to start when you next try to drive. Engine Stalling Without a fully functioning alternator, your battery will eventually stop sending voltage to your ignition coils, even while you're on the road. This will cause misfiring cylinders and even stalling, where your engine suddenly cuts out altogether. Whining Sounds The alternator is powered by the engine via a strong rubber belt called a drive belt, which connects to the crankshaft. If this belt comes loose, the alternator stops working along with a few other vehicle accessories. Loose drive belts often create a strange whining noise as they rub awkwardly against the pulleys. Battery Warning Light The sophisticated sensors in your Chevy will pick up electrical problems as soon as your alternator starts to fail. You'll see a battery-shaped light appear on your dashboard. But you won't know for sure if the problem lies with your alternator or something else until you have it checked. How a Chevy Dealer Revives an Alternator Not all malfunctioning alternators need to be replaced. A professional technician will often be able to repair a faulty alternator if the damage isn't too bad. The problem might lie with one of the component parts, such as the regulator, rectifier, rotor, slip rings, stator, or pulley. The technician can dismantle the alternator to inspect each of these parts individually, replacing anything that needs it. Have your alternator fixed or replaced today at Bacon Auto Country. Our courteous, knowledgeable staff are always ready to help solve any car problems you might have.

Is your car ac not working? Most likely you have a refrigerant leak, an electrical issue, or a problem with your ac compressor. Let's take a look at the various causes of air conditioner issues and how to identify them. You can have any of these problems fixed quickly and easily at your local Chevy dealer in Jacksonville, TX. Top Signs You Need Air Conditioning System Repair Leaking Refrigerant Fluid The air conditioner keeps your car cool by turning the refrigerant from gas to liquid and then back into a gaseous state once more. As it changes states, the refrigerant absorbs heat, cooling air that's blown over it into your cabin. If the refrigerant springs a leak, the whole ac system can stop working. The most common location for a leak is around the ac unit's hose connections where you might see an oily substance accumulating. more Electrical Problems The ac is powered by electricity, so any interruption to the electrical supply will knock it out of action. This might be a fault in the wiring, but if you notice other electrical accessories also having trouble, then it's more likely to be a problem with your battery or alternator. Slipped Serpentine Belt In many vehicles, the ac compressor is powered by the serpentine belt which directly converts power from your engine to your air conditioning. If this belt slips or cracks, the accessories it powers will also stop functioning. The serpentine belt almost always powers the alternator as well. And if the alternator stops working, your air conditioning may stop working as well. You can pop your hood to check if your serpentine belt has slipped or loosened. If it's not seriously damaged or broken, you might be able to push it back into place to solve the problem. Blocked or Broken Condenser The condenser requires a steady inflow of air to cool the refrigerant. If something blocks the inflow of air, such as debris from the road, then your ac will stop working. You can remove the grille at the front of your car to check for condenser blockages. Condensers are typically quite sturdy, but they can on occasion become damaged by debris from the road. It's usually more affordable to replace a broken condenser than to repair it. Faulty Cooling Fan The air conditioner's cooling fan can malfunction in various ways. Debris from the road can sometimes fly in and crack a fan rotor. In this case, you'll need to replace the fan. An ac fan can also suffer from electrical issues like a blown fuse, which will require specialist electrical know-how to fix. Need Your Car’s AC Looked at in Jacksonville, TX? Have your air conditioning system inspected and repaired today at Bacon Auto Country. We're a trusted local dealership committed to providing the very best customer experience, no matter what your vehicle purchasing, servicing, or financing needs might be.

Your Chevy braking system is a very efficient and important part of your car's safety system. It does, however, require regular servicing to keep it in great shape. When you need a brake repair, your Chevy dealer in Jacksonville, TX, can fix it. These are some of the signs that your brakes need to get checked. Signs You Need a Brake Repair at Your Chevy Dealer Worn Brake Pads The brake pads fit into the brake calipers that are attached above each of your tires. When you step on the brakes, the calipers are forced against both sides of each of the rotors. The pads inside them have a special material covering that generates friction against the rotors and stops your car. The material covering will gradually start to wear off. As the pad's material covering wears off, your brakes will take longer to apply, and your braking distance will increase. This is due to the thinner covering providing less friction against the rotors. When the pads reach the point that they need to be changed, you'll hear a high-pitched screeching from the pads. This screeching sound is a sign that your pads need to be changed ASAP. more Your Car Pulls to One Side If your car pulls to one side when you brake, your braking system on the opposite side isn't working correctly. As we've seen, the brake calipers must grasp the rotors to stop your car. The hydraulic force that pushes the calipers against the rotors is provided by pressurized brake fluid. This fluid is forced through the brake hoses and pushes the pins out of the calipers, causing them to close. There are several causes for this type of brake failure. A caliper pin could be damaged or rusted, and this prevents the caliper from closing correctly. A lack of brake fluid could reduce the pressure in the system and prevent the caliper from closing. Finally, an air bubble in the brake hose could prevent the fluid from exerting pressure. Vibrations When You Brake A vibration when your hit the brake pedal is a sign that there's a problem with one or more rotors. The rotors are the smooth metal discs behind your wheels. These discs are flat, which provides the best surface for the calipers to grab. If the surface becomes less even, the brake pads will have increasing difficulty grabbing the rotor, and you'll feel a vibration. The uneven surface of a rotor can be caused by damage or dried adhesive from an overheated brake pad. Our technicians will check the rotors, and we can repair or replace any damaged ones. Schedule Brake Repair at Our Jacksonville, TX Chevy Service Department Do you think that your vehicle is experiencing issues with the brake system? Has it been a while since you have gotten a brake service? If you have any brake problems or would like professional brake service, call us right away at Bacon Auto Country.
