Actually if you get a rebuilt alternator and/or rebuild your own, or even a good junkyard alternator, the labour will cost you only $100-$150 CDN, that's what I got charged when my stupid bloody thing failed. I did it at some local dealer on Weston road and FInch, the Harmeet Electric or something like that, if you're ever in the Toronto area, but you could also do that, the junk yard alternators still work especially if the car was just rear ended or something.
