i have a 1999 Volkswagen passat. i got a mechman 270 amp alt that's needs to be put in. but the problem is i'm unable to put it in my self due to the location of the stock alt. should i let a stereo shop install more then any other place put it in or should i let a shop that only does deals with alternator's ?

Are you doing a dual alt setup or just swapping the alts?

Either way my vote is do some work.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

I would let a shop that ONLY deals with alts, or other mechanics, I wouldnt have a car audio shop do a alt install, only for the simple fact its probably not something they do all the time, and could fuck up something

it's a single alt and upgrading the charge wires i went to a few mechanic shops they told they turned me down and who would do it was a bunch of a** holes one audio shop told me they only install ones they sell which was stinger and another shop has someone else do it for them

I'd go to a speed shop...someplace that knows how to fabricate with metal, if necessary. not a stereo shop, not a mechanic...a hot rod shop would be best

I don't know, its hard but its not that hard you need a shop to swap the alts. I hate the engine bay and layout but its doable.

But if your bent on a shop...I would go to a mechanics shop specializing in VWs.
