*nod* this is the second alternator they've put in my car. I assume I'll need another new one in a few months. They say it's a design flaw but I don't know..

The only crappy part of the deal is that if it goes bad after 6months, then the labor warranty isn't covered.... if they have to replace a 3rd alternator, I'd bitch a fit and have them do it for free.

Yeah, right, "design flaw." More like "installation flaw" or "mechanic intelligence flaw."

i work at pepboys, (cashier, not a mechanic), and trust me, they dont give a shit about ur car. out of all the techs, they are only 2-3 that work there that i would ever let touch my cars, i know they are good ones because pep boys is only a side job, and they have real mechanic jobs at dealerships, but yea, back to the point.... the majority of the people there, dont give a shit about your car.
