three hours labor and the retail price of a ford alternator that might do it....
Even places like auto zone want $250 for a bosh alt.. and they are a discount store...




Total bill was $450 with tax (MI 6%) which was $30 for a new belt, $185 for a new alternator, and $200 labor. They found my pinch bolt on my strut missing the nut (oops...fast install) so they also padded their pockets for some cash to replace that as it was a safety issue. But the big thing is...if it goes bad again..I go right back there for work. Not in my driveway again...
