For $150 from a local "Rebuilder" shop. It would be in a stock core, with rebuilt internals. My car is a '94 Chevy Lumina Euro 3.1L. It is a "small case" alternator housing. Do these claims sound accurate at all to you? Do you think they are trying to rip me off? Any experience you can share would be appreciated. |
