I drove my car to an alternator/starter re-build shop. When I got to the shop, I heard weird noise from under the hood. The mechanic tested my battery and it was charging at 12.62 volts. He also noticed the noise and said that it was definitely my alternator.

Now, I'll do a search on replacing the alternator. I know there are 2 bolts for the alternator, but I'm a bit confused w/the tensioner.
