Was a 20 year customer until today… vans sold me an alternator last year that had a parasitic draw that I finally diagnosed as the alternator. I took it in for a warranty, and since there is another customer in the building, I was told I was inconvenient. I’ll pay $10 more and go to one of the big box stores. Thanks for the inconvenience and waste of time.

Bar-none the best place in town to take any starter/alternator/generator you have. Old school knowledge you just don't find anymore. Almost always has a replacement on hand. Been taking parts here for years👍👍

we had an alternator go out while we were on a trip from northern Wisconsin and we couldn't find one. We called Van's and they said they had one for $150.00. When we got there he said "as long as you are from out from out of town I cannot warranty it." I said that would be fine as long as its good. Well we got back to the motel and put it in........ 10 minutes later the bike shut down! The battery is dead and so we had to have the bike towed to the Honda dealer. In doing there checking they found the alternator was no good! $700.00 later I called the guy and told him what the techs found and he agreed to only give us back half of our money. Run a bike for 10 minutes and he won't give us our money back! Well when he finally put half the money back on the card they wanted to keep our original receipt. When I said no I wanted it (20 minutes later) they got mad and slammed the other half of the money on the table and said there you go good-bye! Just a bunch of jerks and trying to screw people from out of town!

I always take my alternators and starters here to have them checked and would buy rebuilt ones from them if need be. Only place I go. They do great work!

More often than they sell me something, they bench test my items and eliminate it as the problem. Every part I have purchased from them has warranties and has been high quality. No complaints. I have gone here for years and will continue to return for as long as I have the opportunity.

They rebuild starters and alternators at a low price. Every brand from golf carts up to the starter for my payloader.
