Default Weak alternator

I had my battery tested when I got my tire changed and they said that my alternator was a little weak, which is causing my battery to not be fully charged. They said that it should be at 14 and it was around 13. Do you guys think I should get it changed as soon as possible or will it not be a problem until further down the road?

Have you had any problem? If not don't worry about it, usually they will tell u something to make money off of you....

Make sure re-test it at your local Auto parts store. If i was weak then you should replace it.
