AC Delco makes a good product. Alternator technology is really old, so it's not difficult to do right.
Pros: good product

I have the acdelco in my old Comanche and it works great.
Pros: works great
I have a honda crv and it went out today. I ordered the alternator on amazon which cost me about 200.00 and it only takes 1-2:hours.
Pros: alternator cost $200
Vehicle:
Honda
I'd just get something with a warranty. I've been using Duralast from Autozone for the longest time and haven't had too many issues
Pros: warranty, not many issues
DIY Guy here, I always use Denso parts for my Hondas when it comes to electrical stuff. Denso is the OEM parts supplier for Honda's alternators. I just replaced an alternator in my sister's 2011 Acura RDX with a remanufactured Denso unit and she's had no problems with it at all.
Pros: no problems at all
Vehicle:
Acura RDX
That mechanic must be using some really cheap alternators, we use denso alternators where I work and rarely have issues.
Pros: rarely have issues
Cons: cheap alternators
Don\u2019t get any of those aftermarket ones. I\u2019m not sure what aftermarket brand it was that my mechanic got but months later the steering wheel would intermittently lock up while driving. It was not easy to diagnose as the voltage would read fine. Ended up getting a Denso one, paid a lot because needed it urgently. Been fine ever since.
Pros: steering wheel no longer locks
Cons: steering wheel intermittently lock
I just bought this car and I was about to replace the alternator belt but realized it’s not aligned. From this prospective the alternator is too far to the right
ACDELCO because if I get another API alternator that’s defective I’m going to kill somebody
Cons: defective alternator
I had the same problem with a high output Singer alternator
Cons: pulley size issue
