Denso reman if you don't want to do this job again.
Replacement is absolutely fine as an option, but I recommend going with a genuine brand as originally specced for the vehicle (Denso, AC Delco etc). Some aftermarket brands like Jaylec (just an example of brand, not quality) aren't built to the same standard and can be underpowered.
For hpw old your car is, and the price of these boys in the photo, id go to your local autozone and get their alternator, simply because they come with a lifetime warranty
Denso, nippon, aisin are the only brands you should be looking at for an acura.
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
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.
That mechanic must be using some really cheap alternators, we use denso alternators where I work and rarely have issues.
Honda Alternators are crazy expensive. I don\u2019t recommend aftermarket unless you can get a Denso.
Wouldn't recommend AutoZone based on my experience. Had a duralast gold fail on me and had to get a replacement one.
Made the mistake of buying the duralast, first one lasted a couple months, and the second one is dying, only charging the battery at highway speeds, just like the first one before it died.
