Honda Acord 2000, bad alternator
my gf's car is Honda acord 2000, with 26K miles, and its alternator died!
The OEM part itself is like $400, not counting the labor![Scared](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/scared.gif)
It in my mechanics shop, he said he will also check if we can put something non-OEM to save some money.
I looked at her alternator and its almost identical to mine.
what the hell is going on?! even my mechanic was like: "I have never seen those things fail so early on Honda".

Yeah, my mechanic will have it done for like $300 including labor.
I could take it to Honda, and pray for them to me a favor, but my car needs towing and I don't feel like taking chances.
I dont know whats happening with those japanese cars, they were supposed to be reliable... but now we got transmissions... alternators... its fuking falling appart.
