A Dead Alternator

A Dead Alternator

Great! You're on your way to an important event and your car won't start! You immediately think that the battery is dead. But it could also be the alternator. The alternator feeds power to the electrical system for your entertainment system, accessories and charging ports. The battery gets recharged with any extra electrical power. A failing (failed) alternator may not be able to keep the battery charged. Most often, when the alternator fails it is due to bearings failing and seizing up. You might hear a grinding noise or even an electrical smell. There are other symptoms your vehicle may be showing as well. It's best to get your vehicle in for an inspection with a trained technician for diagnosing your vehicle's issue(s). You may contact us at 608-782-1375 or ... read more

A Broken Speedometer

A Broken Speedometer

My speedometer broke yesterday! Now what do I do? Even though this is an uncommon repair; it does happen. First of all, yes, you can still drive your car but be aware of your speed. Are you keeping up with the vehicles around you? Are you passing more people than usual? Are more people passing you than usual? Secondly, check the fuse that controls the speedometer, the instrument cluster fuse. If this is ok, then your best bet is to call us at Bob's Auto to have one of our skilled techs take a look. We will check things like the instrument cluster, wheel speed sensor, wiring (rodents are horribly cruel to auto wiring) or a faulty ECU (electrical control unit). Stay safe out there!
