Has anyone dealt with Auto Battery & Electric in Portland? They quoted me about $130 for a 130 amp 3g alternator, which seems pretty good... I believe it was a rebuilt unit but it looked like a high quality piece as far as I could tell. Anyone know if their alternators are any good?

I was also considering going with a low mileage used alt to save some cash... anyone know if they any part recyclers in the Portland area that either test their parts or at least have a good warranty/replacement policy? If I go used I would definately want to make sure it is actually a low milage unit that works properly...

I have been trying to get the word out about a company called Alterstart ever since I got one. Check this out http://www.4alterstart.com/pages/st...p://www.4alterstart.com/highoutputalternators I belive they are of equal quality to PA for less money. I love mine, and if I had to get another, it would be from them.
