Top Alternator Replacement related questions

One of the easiest ways to detect a faulty alternator is through the indicator light (the code varies according to different vehicles). If it turns on, get it checked by a trusted electrician right away. Some indications also include sudden weird noises or a burning smell coming from the engine, and irregular operation of other electrical components.

Some manufacturers suggest a total alternator replacement after 100,000 to 150,000 miles. If you detect any irregularities with your electrical system, your tasker can also help you test the alternator and have it replaced once it's broken or no longer usable.

The entire replacement process usually takes about two hours, but it may take longer if it's more rooted in the engine, or if there are more electrical and belt issues that must be resolved as well.

Airtasker is the best place to find an alternator replacement specialist near you. All you have to do is post a task with your specific needs, along with your ideal alternator replacement cost, and you'll instantly hear back from our expert auto technicians who are available to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever!

Suggested reads about Alternator Replacement

What does an alternator replacement service include?

The function of the alternator is simple: supply power to the battery and keep the electronics running. Otherwise, your vehicle will stop working. Your car will send a series of signals that will indicate a failing alternator, including a whirring noise coming from your engine and the smell of burning rubber. If you're starting to notice these warning signs, then you may need to get your alternator replaced immediately. 


Mobile Alternator Replacement
At Airtasker, you can find trusted alternator specialists and other mobile mechanics near you, offering you a convenient way of repairing your car's alternator or replacing it as needed. You don't have to risk fixing it yourself or stress over finding a car repair shop in your neighbourhood. Your mobile alternator replacement specialist will go where you are and replace your car's alternator in no time.

Disconnecting the Battery

Before the actual replacement, your Tasker will first disconnect your car battery for safety purposes. Skipping this step might trigger a live wire as they're removing or replacing the alternator, and can cause further damage as well. They will only remove the negative cable while the positive one remains attached.


Removing the old alternator
Most alternators are usually found on top of the engine. Some alternators, however, are positioned deeper in the engine and removal might take a little longer. After locating the faulty alternator, your Tasker will detach the serpentine belt or v-belt, as well as the bolts, wirings, and cables connected to the engine. After which, the old alternator will be safely removed.

Inspecting the new alternator
Your new alternator must have the same mounting holes and wire connectors as the old one. If you're hesitant or worried about buying the wrong alternator, you can always arrange for your Tasker to help you find the right one for your vehicle.

Positioning and Installing the Alternator
Your specialist will install the new alternator where the old one was placed. This process is simple—match the bolt holes, then put the battery, serpentine belt, cables, and wirings back to where they were previously. Your Tasker will then turn on your engine to check if the replacement alternator is working correctly. You can also request for a quick test drive to make sure that the process was successful.

Needing a replacement alternator fitted into my Toyota Aurion 2006 v6

$450

Mansfield QLD, Australia

20th Mar 2025

So my little blue Toyota has been dead for about a month now, I’ve needed to save some $ for repairs plus general things coming up and delaying the process 🫤 I’m needing to replace the alternator and have it fitted and possibly also the battery (battery is only 8 months old so it can possibly be salvaged?) It’s a Toyota Aurion v6 2006 auto sedan and it’s currently stranded at Mansfield at a friends house. I’m able to buy the alternator on a aftermarket site if that works out better or is going to save me significant moolah but if you are up for the job ( the sooner the better) contact me with potential quotes on both the replacement and fitting of said alternator or just the fitting itself if I buy the part. I’m a single Mum of 3 so don’t have a huge budget but can afford approx $400 -$450 range Thanks in advance Amanda

Fit an alternator into my Toyota Aurion v6 2006

$200

Mansfield QLD, Australia

3rd Mar 2025

My Car broke down about 2.5-3 weeks ago (Toyota Aurion V6 2006 sedan) and has been sitting at a mates place in Mansfield since, I’ve had a mobile mechanic come out to look at and diagnose it and was told that it needs an alternator replacement and possibly a battery replacement if it’s stuffed up my current battery that’s only 8 months old. I was also told that to do this would require the car to be on a hoist due to the placement of the alternator. I have found a few alternators on wholesale websites and will be purchasing one this coming Thursday (6/3) so I’m just wanting to know if someone is able to do that for me and can also give me an approximate price of doing so, the sooner the better. Thanks in advance

Auto electrician service /Alternator fitting

$400

South Brisbane QLD 4101, Australia

4th Jan 2025

Services of a qualified auto electrical professional or mechanic, required for installation of a new Alternator on my 2012 Great Wall x200 tdi, (I have the part) to be carried out at my home in a shaded covered area or I can come to a place of business. The placement of the part to be replaced is mounted on the front bottom of the engine. (Driver's side), ownership of hoist(if on business premises) , large trolley jack and or vehicle jack stands/stilts and all tools associated with type of task would be advantageous, as access is located in behind the front wheel well & could be limited from topside unless prepared to put time into teardown and reassembly to gain access.

Cristina and Sam did an excellent job, diagnosed, removed and fitted the part, and as tough as the job was they got it done with no fuss. Absolutely happy with the outcome. Cheers guys
