Shop labor rates are $70-90 per hour in this area. A tech who doesn't do starters all teh time would probably spend an hour tearing on down and cleaning it up, plus the cost of components, which would have to be ordered adn shipped.

Local rebuild shops are loosing a lot of business when you can go to advance auto and get a drive works new(not reman) 10DN alternator for $34. the bridge rectifier for a 10SI is $20. labor to put one in is 1/2 hour at $60 per hour, so you would need a 50 dollar bill to repair a $34 alternator.
