Alternator Denso or VALEO
Get the Denso from Rockauto, or NAPA should carry them local to you. It's a total PITA to get to, I don't care what kind of warranty autozone provides because it's not paying for my time.
I have yet to replace an alternator, but every recommendation I have seen is for Denso.
Go with a quality remanufactured unit like a Denso.
I bought one online to pick up at store and when I went to open the box something was scraping internally. No shipping damage or box damage. I bought a Denso for a different car (Toyota's OE) and I've had no issues with it. The only problem is it only carries a 1yr warranty.
Expect to shell out more $ for a Denso though if that's the route you go.
A reman Denso is about $100 more than other brands. But main thing is the labor cost. It is pretty hard to get to the Alternator for Odyssey. Saving some money with a cheaper brand has a greater risk to incur the labor cost again.
Solved both of those issues with a reman Denso. Just spend the money. One good alternator is cheaper than two crappy ones.
Denso no doubt. It's the only brand I'll buy for an alternator or starter.
Way too much, 2007 accord my son paid 425 for a denso alt.
Could just be a crappy parts store alternator. I use Denso only for replacement.
