Preparing Your Alfa Romeo for the Seasons: A Comprehensive Guide

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your Alfa Romeo is a stylish, high-performance vehicle that requires regular maintenance to enable it to work at its best. Alfa Romeo maintenance is performed by expert technicians using only Alfa Romeo-approved replacement parts to supply the level of excellence you expect and deserve. As your Alfa Romeo dealer, we want to tell you some examples of the types of maintenance we provide.

Examples of Alfa Romeo Maintenance Available at Your Alfa Romeo Dealer

Alternator Replacement

The alternator is a mini-generator that produces electricity for all your vehicle’s systems. It’s a very hardy component and will usually only need replacement after approximately eight years. As an alternator gets older, it spins more slowly due to worn parts, and this reduces the amount of electricity it can supply.

If your alternator is wearing out, you’ll experience issues like seemingly random electrical faults, a weak battery, and strange noises and smells from the engine compartment. Our technicians will examine your alternator and repair or replace it, depending on the situation.

Engine Diagnostic

An engine diagnostic is a quick and efficient way to diagnose issues in your engine. Your Alfa Romeo contains numerous sensors, each connected to an important component. The sensors monitor their connected component and can identify minute changes in a component’s behavior. If a problem is detected, the relevant sensor informs your computer. The computer will assign an error code to the problem and illuminate the check engine light.

We’ll connect a diagnostic scanner to your computer to identify the problem. The scanner can read the error codes logged by your computer, and these codes point to the system in trouble. The scanner saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent searching for the problem. This makes the repair process faster and translates into reduced repair bills.

Radiator Hose Replacement

The radiator is a heat exchange device that’s essential for controlling your engine temperature. Your engine works most efficiently at high temperatures, but your engine must be protected against overheating. Liquid coolant absorbs engine heat and transports it to the radiator, where the heat is removed by airflow over the radiator tubes.

Two strong rubber hoses connected your radiator to the cooling system. They are specially reinforced and designed to transport liquid that can easily reach over 350 F for sustained periods. As time passes, the rubber can crack or leak, and the resulting coolant loss will cause your engine to overheat. We can replace the hoses in minutes to fix this problem.
