Having New Alternator Installed

[TerdFerguson]

Long story short, I got into my car and and it would barely turn over. I went straight to Oreilly's to have my battery checked and he said the battery was fine and that all things pointed to me having a bad alternator. I have an appointment scheduled with my mechanic and they are going to tell me for sure what's up with my car. I have 108K miles on it. Assuming it's just a new alternator I need and nothing else, anyone have an idea of what kind of estimate I'll be getting? First my golf game leaves me and now my alternator decides to die. What's next?

In case anyone is interested, it turns out it was a bad battery. The only thing now is my passenger windows won't roll down. I called them back to see what was up and they apologized for not resetting them. Apparently you have to go to each door and roll each window down a few inches then roll back up and hold for a few seconds. I've tried that with no luck.

I also have a 2006 GS300 and just replaced the battery. I had to cycle each window at the door, not from the drivers switch. Go all the way down and all the way up a few times, and the drivers switch should work then too.

good luck!
