Got stuck with my 1995 Ford Mustang v6 5spd 3.8 liter engine 106k. Car stalled out after jump and only ran for few miniutes. Was able to push into a Goodyear car center nearby.
THey told me my alternator was bad and charged me $360.00 part and 70.00 labor. I been told I might have been price guaged for the part by as much as $220 dollars. What should a repair like this cost?
:cry:

I have seen that altenator priced as high as $228.83. I would ask to see the repair shops receipt for the altenator. You can argue with them about it, but with a price mark up like that, spreading the word will do enough damage for this repair shop.
