I've installed maybe 10 alternators in my day and it's not as easy as it used to be. We had one car where one practically had to remove the engine to even access it. I didn't want to spend an entire day underneath the car trying to do the job myself (with no guarantee of success) so I charged the battery and drove it to Curlees and had them do it.
More recently I installed one in an Impala. It took a lot longer than I thought it would and I had sticker shock when I called around to price the replacement. It was at least $300 after trade-in. It did come with a "lifetime" warranty (10 years) and it was one of those times when one takes care to save receipts and paperwork.
