I think that charging $514.79 for a simple alternator change and belt swapout is outrageous. Being charged $289.99 for a rebuilt alternator alone and keeping the core alternator for refund is nothing more then thievery and price gouging.

If you are waiting at the shop while getting your tires rotated or your oil changed, grab a snack from the vending machine and watch TV comfortably.
