Titus Livius: Men are only clever at shifting blame from their own shoulders to those of others. Peter McWilliams: Stubbornness is also determination. It's simply a matter of shifting from won't power to will power.
The alternator replacement cost can be quite high, with prices running between $133 and $915 for a new alternator. The work itself is quite straightforward, so the cost for labor is normally quite low in comparison to other automotive services. The alternator cost will range from $200 to $700 just for the part itself! To have a new alternator fitted at a garage you can expect to pay between $172 to $1046 with an average cost in the mid $500 range, depending on the part used and the model of car you own.
The average time for most alternator replacement is two-to-three hours. That gives you roughly $120- $200 in labor to start. The rest is going to depend on the price of your alternator. Most alternators can be purchased from auto parts stores for much less than the dealership, but the buyer must beware here.ost vehicles will fall into the $350-400 range for the total job of alternator replacement with no other parts replaced. If the serpentine belt gets tacked on, add another $20 to $50 to your bill. If you decide to go with dealership parts and labor, expect the bill to climb over $500 in many cases.
