Which alternator should I buy?

I don't want to get a cheap one, but I don't want to order a re-manufactured one from majestic honda since I need to install it this weekend.

Is there anything you guys prefer? I normally go to napa after checking out their selection online.

You know I prefer Hondas remans because they are consistently very reliable.

I would have bought the majestic honda reman after doing research. Seems that non-OEM is iffy. Thanks.

Re: Which alternator should I buy?

Had an autozone reman with lifetime warranty. Failed after 7 years (bearing seized) and got a no-cost replacement with no wait, no questions asked, when I brought my broke *** one in.

Luckily it seized as I pulled into my driveway. Lol
Otherwise, AAA membership

Re: Which alternator should I buy?

u can rebuild yours , there is changable brushes inside.. there like 10 bucks if i remember correctly.. Check the bearings , if u need one of those they are dirt cheap.. and you can have the original.. sometimes those aftermarket at autozone or napa, are cheap rebuilds with chepeast parts from china or wherever they could get them.
