In today's Throw-Away & Buy-New economy we are one of the few re-builders in NW Ohio that have the staff with the knowledge, tools and test equipment to properly re-build starters, generators and alternators. Some of the re-builds we are able to perform are on products that are #1 not replaceable or #2 much too expensive to just throw away and buy new.

Toledo Auto Electric main rebuilding area with rebuilding carousal in the foreground and all the test and various other equipment required to properly re-build and re-condition alternators, starters, generators and control motors.

This initial testing allows us to preform a much better rebuild for our clients.

Using precision measuring equipment the end housing bearings are checked for proper size. All units repaired will receive new bearings.

We inspect the fan and replace if bent or worn, measure the fan pulley and replace as required.
The rotor is tested for field current draw, stator test will indicate any shorts or ground conditions. Any defective or failing units will need to be replaced. Repairs requiring rotor or stator replacement will naturally raise the repair cost. We always check for quality replacement units that may be less cost for our client.
