If you want a good laugh, go down to your car dealer and price some
OEM parts..

A few months ago I was quoted over $800 to change the alternator on my
truck at the dealership. $400 of it was the alternator. An OEM
alternator from a parts store (not rebuilt, not remanufactured, not
repaired, but new) was $200. The serpentine belt was $40. I did it
myself. It was a pain actually on that model truck, but I figure at the
same labor rate they charge I could do it for just over half now that I
have done one.
