Alternator repair

[Trident]

Does anyone know of a good repair centre ? I always used Power Components at Westbourne but sadly he retired with ill health and "Just Alternators and Starter Motors at Southampton have also closed down) Google gives me page after page of places that will replace but no one that still repairs.

Based in Chichester but anywhere I guess will do as we can ship it for repair

Probably too far away to be of interest but have a good reputation locally ( and I've used them a couple of times) :

Curd Brothers in Tunbridge Wells

I've used these people a couple of times.

Royle Jackson Ltd | Marine & Electrical Engineers | Southampton

Further to the recent thread in the Lounge, these people are long established and I have always found them excellent. They have rebuilt alternators for me in the past but are more likely to supply a rebuilt unit unless the thing is unusual in some way.

They may not even request a common unit for exchange as they have access to more than they need and only choose the best for rebuild. Too far to investigate personally though:

The Starter Motor & Alternator Co

I bought a new one for a Penta 2030 it was aftermarket from Parts for engines, £125, top quality, American, I decided for that price hardly worth repairing an old unit. They are very helpful on the telephone.

I've always had good service from

This thread has several links to alternator repairers (Advice about Volvo 2003 alternator needed). But I replaced the alternator in the end - not actually that expensive.

I usually try find an Auto Electrics shop and let them at it ... basically the alternators are same as auto ... unless you have some fancy kit ...

Few years back my Perkins alternator decided the throw a wobbly .... gave it to local auto shop ... 2 days later in my hands ... back on boat - works better than ever !!
