Advanced Autoparts reman alternators are JUNK!! Had them test 2 off the shelf, both bad including the one I bought, installed, and brought back. Never ever ever buy alternators from Advanced Auto!!
Always test alternators before leaving store
If the car was having the same problem after the alternator install....then it wasn't the alternator to begin with genius. Take it to a better mechanic that has basic knowledge of electrical systems.
Chances are so slim that they sold you a defective alternator. I'm sure you've had this problem remedied by now and realize it was a different problem to begin with.
It's called WARRANTY.. Plus, all the stores (AAP, AZ, OR) sell the same exact parts, different boxes.
I would take the repair receipt back to store manager and ask him to submit a labor claim.
