I wanted to let anyone who is interested in having their alternator or starter rebuilt to get in contact with Jim Ridge at Dixie Restoration. He has done a couple of each for me and his work is outstanding. His costumer service is outstanding as well. He has more than gone out of his way to help me with my restoration. Anyone who has used Jim can attest to the quality of his work. Dane Young
Dare I ask.. How much they charge

why are repo parts that have falsified date codes acceptable but altering engine/tranny information or even VIN information is strickly forbidden?
Mass produced “cookie cutter” parts are not governed or mandated by the DMV and the DOT. Vehicles are assigned serial (VIN) numbers that federally register the power train and sub frame to "THAT" particular vehicle. The alternator, tires, battery, etc…. are very similar to components that are used to construct a building. You do not need to amend or alter the title/deed when replacing door trim, hot water heaters, or roof shingles. Just like the alternator however, these replacement components need to comply with guidelines established by the building codes and industry standards. Printed “date codes” do not alter the function or performance of a part. They simply provide a way to know when, or from what batch, a component was manufactured. Synergy….the whole is greater than the parts!

We're up front about our service costs: $225 for starter restoration and $250 for an alternator resto. This pkg. price assumes the core is complete and original. We always call our customers after receiving their core to discuss condition and talk about any potential "up-charges." We also establish a time frame for job completion, usually two to three weeks with a good core and no "surprises." We do not accept payment until AFTER the alternator or starter has be received by the sender and he/she is 100% satisfied with the work. We proudly stand behind our workmanship and our attention to detail. Call (803)924-6247 for information.
Thats the way a buisness should be run.
