Any experience with this vendor?
The alternator on my 83 Regency has given up the ghost. I found a place online (that's actually local to me), that has great deals on alternators. They are less expensive than anywhere else I've found. Money is tight, of course.

They offer really good prices ($69.99) and free shipping. No core charge either. It seems almost too good to be true.
Even a chain parts store unit costs more!
Anyone had any experience with them?
Thanks,
Henry

That is cool. Now you have to ask yourself if you buy this alternator, and it dies 6 months from now will you have to pay extra to ship the alternator back to the company to get your warranty fulfilled?

Another option is to find a local alternator/starter rebuilder in the yellow pages, and let them rebuild your original unit w/new parts. Often in the same price catagory as a "cheaper" one from a national chain, and a much better unit that still has the original look.

They are actually a local rebuilder, too. I guess that would mean my alternator can only fail M-F 8-5.

If only new will do, go with what you can afford, who you can trust, and the best warranty. (personally, I have found that warranties make good toilet paper or fire starter from a lot of vendors)

If you're local (AZ), make the trip across town to Genstar on Glendale and 63rd Ave. See Gary and have your original alternator rebuilt to like new condition. I've used them for over 20 years and never been disappointed!
Be prepared to wait a few days, they're busy but the prices are reasonable.
Good Luck!
