Good morning. Owner of local alternator/starter shop passed away. We've taken heavy equipment and automotive starters/alternators to this place for decades. Never much problem or hassle.
Son and daughter-in-law have it now. Their "new" approach to business leaves much to be desired. I was told I'm the "only one who wants" my alternator rebuilt a certain way and "we only do it like this now", etc. You get the point. They were even rude to my 77-year-old father who brought in the last (our very last) alternator, as he took it our decades-old, promptly-paid account was still active. The girl told him "We now only provide accounts for big companies and with the city." Treat me like a stranger, and I will definitely become one.
I'm not close to any other shop, but I keep spares and can get back going with the spare while getting old core rebuilt. I'm willing to ship to a place who has competitive pricing and good service. Can anyone on here recommend a good shop they have a remote "will ship" relationship with? In the long run, this will probably be better for me, as shipping saves me nuisance trips to town.
