Alternator OEM Honda or Duralast

My local mechanic put a new alternator in my older Accord late last year. It was around $550, including a new serpentine belt.

We just replaced the wife's X three weeks ago. Had the same problem you had with a battery light and brake light. Ended going to AutoZone when we were in vacation and got a Duralast Gold and had a local mechanic do the install.

Honda OEM alternator

If you go to autozones website and plug your car info in, what price does it give you for the duralast gold alternator?

My light was due to alternator-08 odyssey- alternator also was starting to wine pretty bad as well. Local mechanic fixed mine for just over $500 I also had the oil leak happening prior to alternator going bad.

The only good thing about buying a duralast is it'll be the last alternator that you have to *PAY* for. But it def will *NOT* be the last alternator you install in the truck. Lol

My car 2012 honda pilot died while I was driving down the highway yesterday. The stereo cut power on and off, then I lost power to the vehicle and I pulled off the road. I got the vehicle towed to a garage assuming the alternator crapped out (120k miles on my SUV).

I have a 2007 Chevy suburban and the altenator died so went to Autozone and purchased a new duralast 220.00. This worked for a few days and the battery died again. Checked voltage and only had 9 volts coming from altenator. Took back the altenator for them to bench test and they did not have the proper connections. Gave me another altenator installed worked great for 2 days. This new altenator was also not working and was given a third altenator.

Duralast 11120 (if that's what is on the invoice) doesn't have a lot of great reviews...

It was in fact a Duralast dud! One more example of a “new” alternator being broken out of the box.
