Hey im in need of a new alternator for my 328, looks like i can get one for about 125 shipped from this place. Anyone used this company in the past?

and also i looked at the diy seemed strait forward, anyone have any thoughts on that either? Thanks, Jeremy

About two weeks ago I bought one from them. Looks and works like new. I've been really happy with it so far. It even has a one year warranty, which equals a new one.

I actually bought it to replace a brand-new alternator that I needed to return on a warranty claim (whine). The remanufactured one was FAR quieter than the brand new one.

Have you thought about getting the alternator serviced.There are places that check alternators free,it may not be necessary to buy a new one.I had mine checked then had new bearings put in for $40.It runs like new,real quiet.
