Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.

I have had a Chrysler 300 for 10 years, and it has now 160k km. The only things I had to change were an alternator, a battery, and 3-4 tire sets... it is a 2013 model 3lt turbo diesel.
Pros: reliable, few replacements
Vehicle:
Chrysler
Mileage: 160000 km
Good job OP. I had the battery light turning on/off for months and figured it was the alternator(newish battery). Was about to purchase a reman Denso for $160, but glad I found a video of Timmy the Toolman on youtube before purchasing and went this route. Pretty easy and straightforward.
Pros: easy and straightforward
I'm guessing you could be Australian the labour charge would be somewhere between 120 and 150 per hour plus parts which retail close to 550 for a good quality Bosch unit so your not too far off the mark with the quote.
Pros: good quality Bosch unit
Vehicle:
Toyota Avalon
I\u2019ve had an ac delco alternator from rock auto in my Honda Fit for 7 years now.

Go for a Denso alternator if they have it.

FWIW I bought an oreilly\u2019s remanufactured for my e34 a few years ago. It failed and was replaced twice in two years until I just bought the Bosch from FCP. No issues since.
Pros: no issues with Bosch
Cons: failed and replaced twice
Vehicle:

Hyundai's and Kia's absolutely do not play nice with aftermarket alternators such as Napa and Autozone. I tried them both and they failed within days (Napa was about 1 week) I finally installed the Hyundai/Kia part and it has been fine since.
Pros: fine since installation
Cons: failed within days
Vehicle:
Kia Sorento
