An alternator failure on my friends Bonanza got him a $300.00 estimate from  the mechanic to fix that one.
(Brushes) He said the brushes for a car alternator would not work at  altitude.
 
So he took the number for his Motorola to the NAPA store and got some low  altitude car brushes and fixed the thing himself for under $15.00. They have  only run for 6 years now, so he is not sure if the guy was right or not.
 
  
The guy got off so cheap 'cause he didn't change out the alternator fluid like the mechanic would have.  You need to warn the man before something terrible happens.
