The only thing which really gets serviced is the the belt, and that'll vary by vehicle. Inspect your belt regularly, and replace as needed. The alternator itself, all you really need to do is inspect the mounting brackets to ensure that they remain intact and the alternator remains properly aligned. You replace or rebuild the alternator when it goes out, whether due to seized bearings, insufficient voltage, etc.

It sounds like you simply need to change the alternator. Easy test: if vehicle will start, carefully remove the ground/negative cable from the battery (may help to llosen slightly beforehand). If vehicle runs, turn on lights; if it still runs, the alternator is fine. All vehicles should run on alternator only. If the vehicle sputters and dies, the alternator is dead. Replace alternator, and VERY IMPORTANT, fully charge battery before engaging alternator. A weak battery can damage a new alternator causing alternator death.
