Auto Parts For Less blows

[c5dura]

I don't know if you guys have any experience with Auto Parts For Less (http://www.auto-parts-for-less.com), but my experience with them has been terrible.

I ordered up a 130A GM alternator from them on January 20 to do the dual-alternator install. The price was $174 without a core which was pretty decent.

But here we are more than 2 months later and when I go to their website to check my order, it still says "Processing".

I have called them 5 times and never get to talk to a person but have to leave a message, and nobody has ever called me back.

Parts Zone Online, on the other hand, is a class act. I ordered all the other parts I needed for the install from them and it showed up in a couple of days. To bad they don't offer a good deal on the 130A altenator.

Anyone know of a good place to pick up the 130A alternator for ~$175 so that I can just go ahead and cancel my order with Auto Parts For Less?

Thanks!

You might try a company in Texas called Alterstart. http://www.4alterstart.com or 1-800-607-0016. The 105A stock alternator is an AD230 and the 130A is an AD244.

Also, an eBay seller who goes by the handle Truckandrvsupply usually has new, take-off AD244 alternators for around $89.00. I bought one from them about a year ago. It was brand new.

I just did a quick search, and it doesn't appear that they have any listed. But, you might contact them to see if they have any in stock.

These guys are very responsive and offer free shipping, which makes their rebuilt prices very competitive if you can't pick up in person:

Last yr, purchased a 130A DelPhi off ebay from an outfit out of elkhart(?) IN for $69 plus shipping. Looked new and they were pleasant to work with on the phone also. I notice that of late, ebay sellers are becoming less communicative after a sell ~ but nothing like 2months ~ yet.

Oyazi- That is truckandrvsupply. Their price did jump $20 on their alternators. (must've been selling too fast!)
