I* need a new alternator. Should I have my pricey dealer service center do it with a new alternator, or is a remanufactured alt installed by my local mechanic with a warranty just as good. New with dealer is about $900, remanuf with local mechanis is about $500

    Napa has new alternators http://www.napaonline.com and the labor is about 2 hours
    These are great alternators so no need going to the dealer
