How much is an alternator?

[afrasay]

nasa around 5k yun reconditioned (new brushes, bearings). DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO RAPiDE. Sa HandyMan may mga alternator almost same price as the surplus/recon ones, brand new pa. They have units for popular car makes.

Where is Handyman located? Also do you know of any shops around the Sucat/Alabang area to take the car for repair?

Again TIA

I think I paid Php4,500 for a refurbished one. That includes labor for the install already. And this was for a diesel with a huge alternator. Unfortunately I'm in QC.

Handyman is in Ayala Malls if I'm not mistaken.

red,
samin sa robinsons east mall na handyman madaming parts alternator, water pump, filters, etc. parang auto supply na rin sila. Sa ATC mayrun handyman. Yun sa amin ni otep pang diesel (may vacuum pump) kaya ganun ang price. baka mas mababa yun sa gasoline car.

Thanks guys

If they lived in the Cainta area it would be easy because I have family there but they're from Sucat and I am not familiar with the area. I'll YM them the info now. Now just gotta find a shop.

It was kind of funny because her first comment on the phone after letting me know they broke down was "can you check with the people in Tsikot how much the alternator is and where to get it fixed?" This from the woman who made fun of me because I kept going to the forum. LOL

She can also try SM Hardware.

The SM Hardware here in QC also has some alternators in stock. Prices may not be rock bottom, but it's a pretty safe venue for someone who's not really into cars.

*Otep-Thanks I will let them know.

Hopefully members living around the Sucat/Alabang area can recommend a good shop.

ishin denki brand yung binebenta sa handyman. i think around 4-5k yata ang price for that car model. you can also call revzone parts* 733-5994 dealer din ng ishin denki (though manila area sila) for price reference.
