>> My car was acting 1 up recently and wasn't running right, so I took it to a mechanic to have it checked. Everytime I tried to start the car, the engine would turn over for a second or two and then die. The mechanic pulled the car into his garage to look things over. The mechanic popped the hood 2, checked to see if all the hoses and belts were in working order, and then tested the car battery and battery cables. After taking a look at things for a few minutes and trying to get the car going, the mechanic diagnosed the problem as a bad alternator. He said he could fix the problem by replacing the alternator with a new ($130) or a rebuilt alternator ($80). Just diagnosing the problem cost $65, and the labor 3 was $50. I asked the mechanic to go ahead and do the repairs, and he said that there was a 30-day warranty 4 on parts and labor. Some mechanics might overcharge you for repairs, but the mechanic I go to is fair and does great work.
