Alternator OEM Toyota or OEM BMW

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 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).

A 98k on a alternator made after 2020 isn't bad. Almost impressive.

I needed a new weather strip (DIYed with a $30 part off Amazon) and a new alternator ($400, could have DIYed but didn’t have time to wait for a part to ship).

Sometimes when u replace the alternator but the battery is bad it'll just fry your new alternator.

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 ended up getting a new one from BMW after two remans failed with once catastrophically failing and catching fire almost burning up my car.
