BimmerBonez Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Anybody have a go-to shop or source for getting a new alternator? Sounds like I've got a bad bearing in mine and need to get a replacement this week. I'm located in Madison, but willing to travel to Milwaukee or further if needed. Thanks all, Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jc43089 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 If it is just a bad bearing I would get just that repaired, OE alternators are always better than parts store replacements. Hopefully somebody over your way can recommend a good shop to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 YoungCR Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Rockauto is a good place to find a Bosch alternator for a good price, usually they have better warranty's than other sites too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Earl Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I use RockAuto for most things. Ebay may have a remanufactured unit for a good price too. A used OEM one isn't a terrible thing either=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tsweers89 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Used parts are used parts. No point in having to do the job twice as it fails again down the road or worse leaves you on the side of the road. What year and model? I get parts discount through some suppliers. You would have to come to me to pick it up or if you wanted me to install it i would do that for extra cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
