Hi,
Whilst my 5 year old Boxster S is in for servicing this week, I'll be having work done to fix / replace the alternator.
The service I'm having done is a 24K Major Service and I'll be having spark plugs changed at the same time. I'm therefore assuming that I should be trying to negotiate a discount against the alternator repair / replacement labour cost, given that the guys will already have stripped things away as part of the Service. So two questions:
1. Anyone know what the 'standard' labour charge is to replace alternator and perhaps what I should aim for as reduction in price?
2. Assuming it's a replacement alternator, any ideas re. cost of this item?
Many thanks,
Mike.
