Changed alternator on a 2006 Mazda Tribute witj V6. Quoted cost was $893 parts and labor..Our cost..parts only, owner provided parts, we did the labor at no charge.
Time of repair, 2hr 17 minutes
To include exchanging his battery for new one.
Job required the removal of cv axle, and top motor mount so engine could be jacked up, thus allowing room to pull out old alternator and sliding new one it. Not a horrible job, but an almost impossible job for someone who doesnt have the right tools or equipment. Hence why or how the shops justify the high labor cost..
Avoid the high shop prices. Call us, well get you back on the road, without being broke.
