In my area there's a small shop that rebuilds alternators, generators, starters and other electrical devices. They've been here since 1949. I'd never go anywhere else.
I did one thing based on their advice. When the brushes in the alternator on my 84 Honda (purchased new) wear down to a certain point I replace them. With 4.4K miles the alternator is working like new. I'm now on my 3rd set of brushes.
