Repaired Valeo/Bosch >> cheap reman alternator with questionable reliability |
We have a place here called Electrical Motor Systems that sells reman alternators or new alternators and back both their products with a 3 year warranty, so hey, whats to lose? If anyone else had a store like that around their town/city, they should probably check that out.
