I can recommend TOCO, I use them and they are well worth the money. $37.00 per month top to bottom, I don't want to break any rules on here so I can not give you the phone number. You can find them online www.TOCO.com

Hi Margaret,It sounds as if you have an issue with the charging system. rebuilt alternators are around $125.00 and well worth it but you need someone to check and see if that's really the issue. Other thought: Loose battery connector, and/or corroded terminals or combination of both. Voltage regulator could be set wrong or not working at all. Check all fuses and make sure everything is turned off when you shut down the engine. All of these things can be done at a good auto parts store where you could pay $125 for the battery and no charge for the services. Also, while I am thinking about it, If your car has too many miles the warranty would cost much more and there is a waiting period of 6o days before it goes into effect.
