Rebuild alternator in Houston?
Where is a good place to get my 1978SC alternator rebuilt in Houston, Texas? Or should I just buy the one from Pelican Parts?

I was in the same position not too long ago and I could not find anyone in the Houston area with the alternator I needed. I also could not find anyone who could rebuild. What I did was ordered one from Pelican, next-day air to my home and installed. This was on a Thursday and by early Sat. I was on the raod. Still running!

Have you tried the Yellow Pages for alternator rebuilders? The alternator on my 84 went bad, and I found a local foreign alternator rebuilder who rebuilt it for $89. No sense paying the "Porsche Tax" if you don't have to. A quick Yahoo search revealed these places:
A-1 Auto Electric (713) 784-4248 3817 Waldo St Houston, TX AAA Alternator Svc (713) 869-5849 2111 Washington Ave Houston, TX Alamo Rebuilders (713) 464-6874 8537 Long Point Rd Houston, TX Bap-Geon Import Car Parts (713) 783-5122 6423 Richmond Ave # Q Houston, TX C J Auto Electric (281) 561-7584 12132 Beechnut St Houston, TX Commercial Starter & Altrntr (713) 464-2118 9013 Long Point Rd Houston, TX D S Alternator Shop (713) 785-6070 9964 Harwin Dr Houston, TX Ellis Electric Svc (713) 695-7832 4335 Irvington Blvd Houston, TX Finch Alternator & Starter (713) 692-0507 4440 N Shepherd Dr Houston, TX Gulfcoast Breakers & Starters (832) 736-9771 2437 Bay Area Blvd # 233 Houston, TX Harwin Auto City (713) 785-6070 9964 Harwin Dr Houston, TX Houston Alternator Inc (713) 862-8500 1835 N Shepherd Dr Houston, TX North Houston Car Care (281) 586-9653 14444 Stuebner Airline Rd Houston, TX Rpw Inc (713) 236-8142 3501 Harrisburg Blvd Houston, TX Rusty's Carburetor Svc (713) 991-6595 7905 Almeda Genoa Rd # P Houston, TX S & H Diesel Products (713) 675-7051 4807 N Mccarty St Houston, TX Wood Alternator & Starter Svc (281) 448-0445 680 Aldine Mail Rd Houston, TX

Wow. That's quite a list. Thank you.
RAM, if I can't get it rebuilt, I'll definately go Pelican. Edit: AAA Alternator Svc (713) 869-5849 2111 Washington Ave Houston, TX AAA said they can do it in a couple of hours. I'll report back on their service.

There's nothing special about these alternators and probably any of those shops can rebuild it for you for less than $100.

On the wall of my shop we have a list of a couple places that we use for alternator builds/ starter builds I'll see if I can get them. We use them all the time and the stuff comes out great.

Here's the place we use at my shops we use them A LOT (probably have sent 50+) haven't had a fault with them yet, and the repairs are relatively quick.
