Starters & Alternators

I swore I would never go back to these guys after a bad experience a few years ago. Glad I did. They are under new management and the woman running the place keeps it clean and organized. They even washed off my alternator so it looks new. Glad to do business with them and would go again. One star missing because it was a little on the expensive side but everyone is like that out here unless you have some kind of hookup.

Great service.
My Nippon Denso alternator crapped out on me one morning, leaving me stuck on the side of the road. I swapped in the spare I had, but that one died the next day.
I gave these guys a call, and they let me know that they could rebuild it in a matter of hours.
So, the next day I took my alternator out, handed it over, and went back home.
3 hours later, I got a phone call letting me know that my alternator was rebuild, included a limited lifetime warranty on parts and labor, and that I could pick it up whenever I wanted. I headed straight there, drove back home and installed the nicely rebuild alt.
They were nice enough to add a coat of paint and position the warranty sticker nicely.
10 minutes later, on a test drive, my battery light came on again! (oh no!)
Alternator wasn’t charging my battery! –Expletive-​, I said to myself. I called them back, and they told me to bring it back.
They guy I was talking to said he’d check it out. I went in, handed it over again, and not 10 minutes later he came back out to the storefront and told me that whoever had rebuild it had rebuilt it with the wrong part. He asked me to wait another 20 minutes and he’d fix it right up.
So, I waited, and sure enough, 20 minutes later he came back to the front with my re-​rebuild alt, handed it to me and told me it was ready.
Drove back home, installed it, and it’s been working fine since. It’s been around 5 months since my whole ordeal.
I’d like to tip my hat to Starters & Alternators for handling the situation so well. Had they accused me of buggering the install, I would have instantly frozen the charge, left the alternator, and taken my money elsewhere.
And the technician didn’t have to fix it that day either. He could have told me to come back the next day, since it was so close to closing. But he handled it. He fixed my alt, and I am completely satisfied with the repair. The lifetime warranty (which is voided, by the way, if you soak the alt in any fluid; makes sense) is a nice touch.
If I need a starter or alternator rebuilt in the future, I’ll come straight here. Great service, quick service, and reasonable prices.

This is a good, honest well run repair shop. I came all the way from the mainland because I got tired of hearing how my auntie and uncle kept getting screwed over by bad mechanics.
She was told 2x the alternator was bad, (neighbor and the local sears) and Sears recharged her battery. Next morning, car dead. I was told this over the phone and assumed someone knew what they were doing– and because I knew how the shops can be here I was figuring at least $ 500 to fix, after towing and all the headache.
I flew in from Las Vegas (hey, vacation right?) got here, ripped alternator out of Honda CR-​V (since car would not start and jumper cables no way to test alternator in car) and brought it here to test. I came down here to do all the maintenance, tune up everyone’s cars fix this alternator and save my auntie a lot of money since I am very mechanically inclined. Packed TOOLS in my suitcase.
I threw it on the counter and said «test it and if it needs fixing, do it” — they took it out back, bench tested it, opened it up and checked inside and said it looked like NEW.
It was just a bad battery. I bought a battery from them and vehicle has been fine since, and we saved $$$ since anyone else would’ve sold her a battery and a new alternator, and who knows what else.
Thank you guys for doing such a good service!

I went to this place last wk to buy rebuild alternator. I went to my mechanic and he suggested to me I should bring this alternator to checker to check for voltage. I went to checker (I think now is not checker but I forgot the name). The guy at checker told me that the alternator is bad and I should buy one from them. I went back to starters &alternators place and brother BOb test it and he said it worked and the voltage is 14.5. I even asked him to talk to my mechanic and he said ok. I brought thismy alternator back to my mechanic and he installed it. So far no problem yet. Big mahalo to keoni and brother Bob. They are professional and treated me with respect. They are friendly too.

Good customer service. My alternator just crapped out on my 96′ Celica so I came here under recommendation. They’re known for selling some new but mainly rebuilt alternators and starters. The rebuilt alternator from here ran me $ 119 (before taxes) and it comes with a lifetime warranty (only good for original purchaser). Not too shabby. If you’re looking for a great deal and aren’t too picky if you’re buying used or new, this is the place to go for all your starter and alternator needs!
