lickthecoil Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Need Alternator. Can anyone recommend any places in the GTA where I could find a rebuilt one. New parts places want $200+ which seems a little steep. Online I've found them for $100US plus shipping and duty. I would like to support the locals first. Need to be ready to roll for Phil/Trey July 8. Thanks in advance for any help offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Sorry, the best advice I could give you is to is to get in touch with McKale's Garage in Ottawa. He did a great job finding me used rims for my '90 VW at a huge markdown as well as some other parts.McKale's Service CentreMarlin McKale852 Bank St.Ottawa, ON K1S 3W3Phone: 1-613-234-5132I've had sub-par/uninterested service from dealers in Toronto, and I've never got the same 'bend over backwards' service here as I got from McKale in Ottawa.

Same for The Bug Pack. It's nice to have a group sympathetic to similar problems.Kooky, do you work at this place? I will call down on Monday. It's an 84 Vanagon with a 1.9L engine. Thanks again.
