Yes I am sure that there are some local shops that can do the work at a savings over the prices that I reported. Most likely they would not be a Leece-Neville Dealer and after the nightmare that I went through I wanted a reputable Leece-Neville Dealer.
I contacted the shop that Tom used in AZ and the prices were about the same as what I was finding locally. While here in Southern Calif. the prices are a bit more (reflected by labor and rent) any shipping costs would gobble the savings using a repair shop that was outside my driving range.
My model 3425J Alternator has been rebuilt at a cost of $425.00 and required a new Stator, Rotor and Regulator (the independent lost my Regulator and other internal parts). I am not sure that another shop could do this type of repair for much less.


Anyway if anyone sees debris at the lower portion of the alternator then the seal is most likely in poor condition and should be renewed. This could save allot of expense if caught in time. A new Gasket is less than $6.00 and the proper seal is less than $20.00 from DD (the seal is different than what is normally supplied by a Bearing House.. Viton rather than Buna-N.
