Yea, they said $150 - including labor

I'm pretty sure it is the cable though, everything else looks good

Battery is charged - they said
Alternator is new

Some cable on the alternator is chewed up...

>It'll probably be $350 by the time they replace it...

>>17760636
$150? What car do you have that requires $150 worth of work to get to the alternator?

>>17760715
