Alternator Denso or Mitsuboshi

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.

I used a Denso re-manufactured unit through Napa on a 2014 Camry a few years ago. Many short trips as it gotten 4 teenagers through high school. Still going strong.

I went with a reman denso and it's been a while but I swear I remember reading the remans were better than new.

Only only only get oem alternator. They won’t last otherwise. I believe the brand is denso. Other brand only lasted 3 months in mine.

Get the denso reman. Most reasonable option vs buying a new denso at the dealer. Main difference is no Honda logo otherwise absolutely identical.

Way too much, 2007 accord my son paid 425 for a denso alt.

When my alternator went out I got an aftermarket that failed within the week. Afterwards I was told that the element alternator is in a spot that gets more heat than a normal car so it needs a higher temp solder. I got the denso oem after and it’s still good after 5 years
