I don't know where you live but some local alternator shops will repair your unit a lot cheaper. I took one to a local rebuilder with 60,000 miles on it,and he installed a new set of rectifier for $55.00 advance auto wanted $128.00 for a rebuilt unit. They also know how to actually check a unit. It depends whos working when you go to auto zone. But then can tell if your charging.
