[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7452710, member: 549629"] Usually its just brackets and belts that have to be removed to change out the alt. Its almost always more scary to look at, than to actually do. Most people here are DIY'ers, and with a little preparation, caution, and a few simple tools, its not beyond them to accomplish. $150 to change alts is, in most circumstances, an exorbitant price. Either they are quoting too many hours of labor at that price, or their labor rate is expensive. Usually a direct alt swap is relatively easy, its only when you get into installing multiple alts (custom brackets) that things start to get complicated. But we all have that decision to make, I do not mean to suggest that everyone has the same capabilities. But yes I agree, with HO alts, you tend to get what you pay for. If one brand is grossly cheaper than all the rest, there is usually a reason why. [/QUOTE]
