i asked and the guy said "LIFETIME" , but when i read the receipt it said limited lifetime. my boy also told me that dicount has crappy alternators/starters, although i hadn't had any probs with them the sound of lifetime warranty sounds good. eventhough i had to unload 2bills

 

If I have the choice, I always go with the higher amp alternator.
That way I have fewer problems.-Bob

 

Autozone is better than Advance b/c you get an Autozone Rewards card!

$20.00 purchase or higher = 1 point

5 points = $20.00 giftcard to Autozone!!! I figure "you might as-well get something for free!!!"

 

my son need a alternator for his b16a it's in a 95 Civic or what do I ask the AutoZone person for

 

When you enter the store, ask "Who is the guy in here with the most experience?"

I would carry the alternator into autoparts store, put it on the counter, and ask "can I get another alternator just like this one?"
Can you tell by the part number?
Do you have this alternator in stock?
If he knows what he is doing, he can look up the part number and find it that way.

Otherwise........

Parts guy will ask: "what year"?
ONLY if you have to...........Tell him it's a '95 Honda.
If you mention "Civic" and his screen doesn't list it as stock on a 95 Civic,
parts guy will go crazy, since most parts guys can only look up what was stock.
If the civic did not come stock with a B16A, it won't be in his computer as such
and parts guy won't know what to do.

An experienced parts guy knows different ways to find a part number.
----------------------------------
Open the box, if alternator is dirty or looks like it was installed, go to another store.
Visually look to be sure it is the same alternator.

Whatever they have, TEST it before leaving the store. That way everyone knows it was good.
