Owner reviews for alternator

I feel like I got a steal for my alternator replaced in my Avalon. Battery light came on and I went and bought a reman Denso at NAPA for $340 after the refund for the core. It was done in 45 minutes

I went with a reman Denso alternator over a new off brand alternator for my Camry and had no issues.

I've replaced the alternator (failed on me), done waterpump & thermostat (180,000km done as a precaution).

2021 Got the extended warranty, one year after the standard warranty went, so did my alternator. Extended warranty covered it.

Update: I ended up sourcing my own parts and sent them a quote from someone else and they matched it. Will have a Denso alternator installed and Costco battery for about $1k.

I also noticed that the alternator looks like a remanufactured unit. I’ve been reading about how these PCMs really don’t like reman units that are not built perfectly to spec. It’s best practice to replace these with only motorcraft units.

Been there with a Motorcraft alt. 181K miles. She stopped charging. No batter light on the dash. I laid it to rest and paid my respects.

My audi B5 will absolutely refuse to use anything but OEM for the alternator

denso manufacture rebuild. don't fall for the auto part store rebuilds, not worth it no matter what warranty

Denso only. New ones aren\u2019t that much off Rockauto. Don\u2019t get any parts store junk- you\u2019ll be replacing it again
