There is a whole thread on “The Lex Brodie Effect”:

Lex Brodie’s could not have a worse reputation, and it’s nothing new. They tried the “we can’t let you leave” crap on me 40 years ago. How they can possibly stay in business all these years with the same m.o. is beyond me.
Therefore, I would not trust that the “wrong alternator” diagnosis is correct. Maybe it is, but I highly doubt it. Obie’s points are valid. Wrong alternator making the car run badly doesn’t make much sense.
One thing she could do to clean up the alternator question would be to get the identification numbers off of the alternator and see for herself if it matches up with her car. She could do it herself online or call one of the parts stores.
I would definitely make sure before accusing the mechanic of screwing up based on what the scammers at Lex Brodie said.
