Rebuilding Process - Careful Part Inspection & Testing

Our rebuilding process consists of tearing down wearable parts such as brushes, bushings, bearings, starter drives, and solenoids to discard them. These parts are then replaced with new or remanufactured parts. Housings and other mechanical non-wear parts are thoroughly cleaned in our automatic parts washer and inspected. Parts that pass inspection will be restored to like-new appearance. Major electrical parts are cleaned and tested to strict standards using the latest technology.

Parts that pass our testing process will be reconditioned and reused. To ensure superior quality, all units are then load tested. During load testing, the alternators, starters, and generators are tested on machines that simulate actual operating conditions so that we know the unit will perform when installed on your vehicle.

The Lowdown on Starters, Alternators, and Generators

How well do you know your car's starter, alternator, or DC generator? These components let you operate your vehicle but don't get the focus of most drivers, farmers, and equipment operators until something malfunctions. Here's a brief introduction to the purpose of each:

• Generator: Some older vehicles use a dynamo direct current (DC) generator to generate electricity for batteries. Around the 1960s, generators were replaced with alternators, which proved more efficient at handling electrical functions in a vehicle. 
• Alternator: The alternator is a type of generator that changes mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current (AC). Your vehicle's alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the electrical system while the engine is running. Around the 1960s, alternators began replacing DC generators in vehicles due to their ability to handle increased electrical power.
• Starter: The starter is an electrical motor attached to your battery that puts the engine in motion once you turn the key. If it doesn't crank the engine or turns too slowly, your vehicle won't start.

When one of your components stops working correctly and you have problems starting your vehicle or equipment, contact one of our representatives at (610) 258-5191. Whether your engine isn't starting, you're noticing decreasing electrical capabilities like dimmed headlights, or experiencing some other problem, we can diagnose the problem and set you up with a new component, remanufactured component, or rebuilt component. Speak with a representative from our team today.
