I need some guidance!!!
I drive an '06 coupe with less than 28,000 miles on it. Just had it in less than 600 miles ago for oil change & all points maintenance. Warning light came on last night so took it to dealer this a.m. Waited 2 hours & finally asked status. Service writer told me that it was the alternator, that I needed a new one & they were rare. It is going to run $1,267.00 
and will take several days. Am I crazy or does this seem a little high?! He proceeded to tell me about the whole Daimler/Chrysler story like I wasn't familiar. He seemed now intent on the new Fiat association. I was a little suspicious when he didn't know that the rental PT Cruiser was on a Neon chassis. I'm just a "dumb woman" looking for another opinion. Thanks for all feedback.

I'm sure someone in Oklahoma can help you get it on. Or take it to an indi shop to verify it's the alternator.

Re: I need some guidance!!!
Find a local shop that rebuilds starters and alts. I have a shop here that rebuilds both and they do all the parts, bearings etc. Auto Zone and the other stores usually replace the broken parts. If a diod is bad the only replace it and put it back in service. I can get a complete rebuild for less that a partial.
Good Luck
