Macs Auto Electric in Victoria

I'm searching for a higher amperage alternator to run a couple more lights, I don't really trust ebay for this sort of thing and an 80amp supra alt if it was enough would be pretty tight with the extra 40amp draw... I figured I might as well see what a shop would charge to make me one. I was hoping to get 100amps out of it, so I called Macs Auto Electric today and the guy said he can build me a 140amp alternator for $200. That's a lot more output than I was looking for, but it's also cheaper than I expected for double the amperage. He said it would have a 2 year warranty, has anyone used these guys before? seems like a good deal if he does quality work. just wanted to check as I have no experience with them nor have I heard of them before.
thanks!

I've never used them.....

I go to Brian Roberts Electric.......they have quite the stellar reputation for high quality work.

I've had a good experience with them a number of times over the years. Their rebuilt alternators have never let me down, although they may not be the cheapest in town.

Awesome news! I figured $200 seemed cheap for twice the amperage.? only other place I called said it's not possible to get more than factory amperage out of them reliably..? So I didn't want to pull the trigger until I checked with you guys

with the jeeps if you jam the stuff in the smaller alternator to get more output, they can be prone to overheating (but this is idling down a trail) so I wouldnt be worried about it getting too hot where its located.
