What is your question?
My car is going on this 12th year. Mechanic says that the Oil Filter Housing needs to be replaced and the Alternater will need to be pulled out to get to the Oil Filter Housing. When to Alternater normally go? I am thinking that I can get an alternater for about $200 dollars and the labor can be free since this item will be removed anyways? However, if alternaters last 20 years then I will be wasting my money. Thanks,

If he wouldn't charge any extra to slap the new alternator in... I would go ahead and have him do it. Likely your current alternator is getting tired and will fail soon anyway. Probably cost you about $300-$400 for the new alternator. But you would save about $200 on labor if he put it in for free.
