High performance is one of the reasons you chose an Alfa Romeo, and regular maintenance ensures its systems always provide peak performance. As your Alfa Romeo dealership, we want to tell you about a few of the many services we offer that can keep your vehicle in perfect condition. Alternator Replacement The alternator is a mini generator that produces electricity for your Alfa Romeo's systems. It spins at high speed, creating magnetic energy, which is converted to AC and then to the required DC. It also recharges the battery to ensure it's always fully charged. Alternators are relatively long-lived and are usually replaced after eight years. As an alternator gets older, it slows down and produces less electricity than it once did. This slowdown is irreversible, and as the alternator produces less power, your vehicle's systems will be affected. Slow accessories, random electrical faults, and dim headlights are all potential signs of a failing alternator. We'll test your alternator and install a new one if required. more Coolant Leak Coolant is one of the most important fluids in your vehicle as it can absorb heat. The cooling system is high-pressurized, and the coolant moves through the engine at high speed, absorbing heat as it travels. The heat is transported to the radiator, where it's removed by heat exchange. Removing heat is vital, as an excessively high temperature in the engine causes seals and valves to crack and leak and damages many other engine components. Time, heat, and pressure will cause parts to wear out. A worn radiator cap, cracked radiator hoses, or a damaged radiator are some of the issues that can cause a leak. As coolant is lost, the pressure inside the cooling system drops, and the remaining coolant slows down. As a result, the engine temperature will climb steadily. Our technicians will fix the leak and then refill the coolant. Tire Balancing A tire's center of balance should be located at the bead, which is the tire section that surrounds the hub. As time passes, tire balance can change due to driving over rough terrain, hitting a pothole, worn shocks, or other issues. If a tire is incorrectly balanced, some of its sections will suffer more friction than others, causing a tire to wear out faster than necessary. We correct this problem by attaching each tire to our computerized balancing machine, which spins the tire to mimic driving. The computer will identify any issues, and we'll add weights to the tire to compensate and restore its balance.
