those are decent prices tbh. I wish I paid that much for my alternator, I have a 2004 toyota avalon and my alt replacement was $500 flat
Mine went dead a couple years ago on my 2012 camry and local shops quoted me upwards of $400 for it. So I YouTubed an instructional video, bought one off ebay for less than $100, and it was going strong up until I sold it earlier this year.
I have a 2013 Soul !. Got it about 2 years ago. Very reliable, only had one issue and that was the alternator going out on me a few weeks ago. 182k miles on it. It doesn\u2019t consume oil at the same pace others mention. It does currently idle a little rough, but Not terribly.
I would not cheap out on an alternator, especially if you’re having a shop install it as paying for labor to replace two low quality alternators is equivocal to one OEM.
To date the 4 cylinder Camry alternator is the fastest one I’ve ever replaced. From start to finish I think I spent 20 minutes on it.
only thing I've done is change a battery, an alternator and tires (weather checking).
I just went through a headache replacing my 3rd alternator in 2 years. I took it to the shop and they put an oem alternator in it and told me not to buy the parts store alternators. It's fine if you don't mind pulling them out to replace every year or so.
Someone warned me against going with auto parts store Remanufactured because they had to do it 2 or 3 times before they got a good Alt, so I stuck to OEM.
Alternator has been replaced 2 times within the year battery is also new and the odds of 2 brand new faulty alternators is pretty slim.
I’m having this same issue without the positive results. Brand new alternator battery is good. It does not drive! Turns itself off and says charging system malfunction.
