If you’re new to car maintenance, you may be wondering, “What does an alternator do?” Our service department is happy to teach you what an alternator is and does under the hood of your Chevrolet. The alternator sends power to the car’s electrical system while the engine is on. The battery and the alternator work together as a generator using the gas engine as a source of energy. Choose OEM parts to ensure you’re equipping your vehicle with quality components that will maximize performance.
