2006 hyundai sonata is not working.?

Question

I went to two different shops and they tried to rebuild it but they couldnt, they said that they are missing a piece only the dealership has. I look online and i find a 2006 hyundai alternator for my car, should i get it or take it to the dealer since its still under warranty. Also when they rebuild a alternator do they replace any parts if so will that void my warranty. I was also wondering that it only took me 2 minutes to find a alternator they say that was from the manufacturer, why couldnt they do the same.

Answer 1

Take it down to the dealership....Don't they repair it for free?? Have it done there....Leave the mechanics out of your hair for now...

Answer 2

why would you take a car that is under warranty anywhere else but the place that will fix it for free...if it's a convenience issue like the closest dealer is 8 hours away, then I could see swapping out an alternator on your own otherwise go to the dealer.

Answer 3

If it's still under warranty, take it back to the dealer.  That's what the warranty is for.

Answer 4

The reason they said only the manufacturer can get it is because they charge more=more $$$.  Simply replacing your alternator or having it rebuilt will not void your warranty.  This is a very simple issue that you can easily solve by getting your alternator (2 minutes away).  

Answer 5

TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.  you can void your warranty if you dont
