Has anyone here had any experience, good or bad, with Quick Start High Output Alternators of Grand Rapids, Michigan? I'm curious about both the products and the customer service.

If you are talking about these guys:

https://alternatorparts.com

Then yes, I have one of their CS144HO alternators on my 71’. It’s been on there for about 9 years and 20k miles....it charges great, keeps up with all of my electronic load even when heat soaked in the summer.

I’d definitely buy from them again.

I also have a 140 amp CS144 in my 78 from them....Been on the car for 10 years with zero issues. Charges like a champ at idle which is what I was looking for versus the stock 63 amp alternator. It is capable of 80-90 amps at idle!!!!!

Also, have a quickstart 140 amp CS130 alternator on my daughters 01 Grand Prix. That alternator is approaching 100,000 miles and still working great..............

Assuming the quality is the same today, I highly recommend them based on my 2 alternators that I have purchased from them!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that both of you are satisfied. I am thinking of getting a 105A 10DN from them for my '67. Thanks to both of you for sharing your experience.
