AUTO MECHANIC PROBLEMS (AGAIN)

Could you tell us the Make, Model and year of the vehicle ?

Obie,
It's a 2015 Honda CR-V with 116,000 miles.

.5 at Lex Brodies would be about $150.00 based on hourly rates, shop charges, tax and parts etc .

I would stick with the original repair and ask the original mechanic why he did it !

Damn, no doubt you're right.  Living in the past here, I figured it'd be $50 labor plus a relatively cheap plastic part. 

We need to hear from Sue.  She mentioned Lex Brodie's by name but not the original mechanic's shop.

Is he too affiliated with a repair business or perhaps a shade tree clan member?

I appreciate all these comments.  It helps when you give your opinions, and when this is all over I'll let you know what happens.  I don't want to mention our mechanic's name unless he lets us down. We'll know by later today after she talks to him.
"Running terribly" means the car still loses power and acts like it's going to stop running after the new alternator was put in.

You mean loses power like electrical power, or loses power like the car doesn't have much oomph?  The latter could be just about anything other than the alternator.  A clogged catalytic converter can do that.

It loses electrical power and "oomph".

It loses both electrical power and "oomph".
