The alternators in both my vehicles have rebuilt by my former boss, his side
line job at the time was rebuilding them, starters, generators etc. He had
to do a rebuild on a newly rebuilt alternator the previous owner had
installed in the wagon (2 months before I bought it), I know the shop that
did the original rebuild and would rather trust my 7 year old to rebuild
them better.
