cost to replace an alternator on car with 130,000 miles and battery

The miles does not affect the price often, but knowing what engine it has in it would be much more helpful, and the trim level…

What good would that do ? The location and shop might be completely different than other people might use or there might be price increases when the next person needs this repair.

The only thing of interest . . . imo . . . would be hours of labor charged

The labor rate will vary wildly, based on the location and what kind of shop we’re talking about

I started to look it up but there was 3 engine options, I figured when the OP answered a few questions I would look it up, but not wasting my time if the OP is a no show… lol

Why not say something like this:

“The cost to replace the alternator and battery ranges from about $250 (if you purchase the alternator online and the battery from Costco, and DIY) to well over $1000 if you take to the dealer. Hope that helps.”

Mainly cause I am not pulling a number out of my butt, the OP has been asked a few times for more vehicle information, and once that info is given, I will do what I do and look it up gladly for the OP… Hopefully the OP will return with some more info, but at the time of this post the OP is a one and done, no sign of being back, less than one minute of read time total… Not being mean, just a little more blunt than normal I guess… :grinning:
