I put a remanufactured Autozone on mine in a pinch because that’s all the was available. Never trusted it. Replaced it about a year later with the Denso remanufactured for peace of mind.… when I took the autozone one off the bearing was squeaking pretty bad. Denso has given me zero problems, going on about 4 years.
The next best thing for Honda is DENSO as they are the actual OEM supplier. 90% chance ur old alternator says DENSO on the side (as long as it's the original).
I just had everything you mentioned done on my 2017 Camry. I paid about 900 but the alternator was denso which makes oem parts for Toyota.
Get it from rock auto. Remanned Denso. Been using it works good
I would go with a Denso remanufactured alternator. I've used the Advance Auto alternators in a Honda Odyssey, Lexus IS250 and my '08 TL. They all failed within 2 years. I don't think Auto Zone parts are any better than Advanced Auto's. The Denso has lasted 3 years and is still going.
My local NAPA had [Denso remanufactured alternators in stock](https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/DEN2100511), vs the standard parts store brands everyone else carries. They're about $200+core, so a bit more expensive, but cheaper than Honda
Got a Denso Reman, and my mechanic installed it and kept the car for a week to test. So far so good.
He commented that before the alternator replacement, volts would go low when the engine was warm. Now they're pretty stable.
These cars have a lot of electronics. A cheap alternator might not be able to handle the load as well. I sell parts for a living and definitely recommend going with a denso instead.
Just make sure to buy either new OEM, used OEM, or a good rebuild like Denso. Parts store ones have a bad record of either being bad directly out of the box, or crapping out in short order.
Im going to say OEM. I have a 2004 acura tsx, which is essentially an accord. I replaced my alternator with a denso remanufactured unit from rockauto. It worked, but the battery light stayed on. I bit the bullet and bought an OEM a year later just to turn the damn light off.
