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.

Pros: going strong
Cons: expensive local shops
Vehicle: Toyota Camry

OEM KIA Alternator

I have a 2013 Soul !. Got it about 2 years ago. Very reliable, only had one issue and that was the alternator going out on me a few weeks ago. 182k miles on it. It doesn\u2019t consume oil at the same pace others mention. It does currently idle a little rough, but Not terribly.

Pros: very reliable
Cons: rough idle
Vehicle: Kia Soul
Mileage: 182000 km

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.

Pros: OEM parts are better
Cons: low quality alternators

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.

Pros: fastest alternator replacement
Vehicle: Toyota Camry

I just went through a headache replacing my 3rd alternator in 2 years. I took it to the shop and they put an oem alternator in it and told me not to buy the parts store alternators. It's fine if you don't mind pulling them out to replace every year or so.

Pros: oem part solves problem
Cons: parts store alternators bad

Someone warned me against going with auto parts store Remanufactured because they had to do it 2 or 3 times before they got a good Alt, so I stuck to OEM.

Pros: OEM is more reliable
Cons: remanufactured is unreliable
Vehicle: Toyota FJ Cruiser

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.

Pros: new battery
Cons: faulty alternators
Vehicle: Toyota
