D&V brings onsite car alternator replacement to your driveway anywhere in Surrey and Metro Vancouver — certified mobile mechanics test and replace faulty alternators at your location, no tow truck needed. Labor is $125 for the first hour, with additional costs quoted case by case depending on the job — and 1,656 five-star reviews (4.8 stars) behind us. Book online in minutes or call (604) 210-6099.
We diagnose the full charging system — battery, alternator output, and drive belt — before replacing anything, so you only pay for the repair you actually need. Most alternators are replaced in 2–4 hours, and same-day appointments are usually available.
The prices shown are for the labor to replace the alternator if you know it’s the problem and have the alternator ready for us to install.
If you’re not sure what’s wrong, we charge a $150 fee to visit and check your car. If we find it’s the alternator, we’ll source the part and come back another day to fix it.
The labor prices in the table will apply, and we’ll tell you the cost of the alternator. The $150 visit fee is due on the first day, & $75 will be credited toward the repair cost.
All prices are estimates and might change depending on where the alternator is in your car.
Book at our booking page, and we’ll contact you with an exact price for your car’s make and model.

Had an amazing experience with them. I had hired them for a pre-purchase inspection on a car I was considering to buy. After the inspection, they had found a couple of critical issues. I decided to purchase the car anyway at a discounted price thanks to their findings and called them back to see if they were willing to do the repairs for me. They were able to promptly and professionally find the parts needed for the repairs and packaged it for me at a discounted price. They replaced my brake pads, rotors, control arm, and valve cover gasket. They even changed my oil too. There was a slight issue with a previous problem that needed repair, but they came to an agreement and ensured my satisfaction while trying to maintain the vehicle stays in its top shape either way. I really recommend them as they are reliable, efficient, and convenient. Very kind staff and tries to make sure customer is satisfied.
Unbelievable service. From the top down my whole experience was amazing, The owner had clear and concise communication through the whole process. I needed to use a Mobile service to avoid a Tow and they had no issue coming to the location of the vehicle. The 2 employees were friendly and very clear in their communications also. They arrived and got straight to work on the vehicle diagnosed and fixed it within an hour. I was so pleased with the service that if ever I have another issue these guys will be the guys I call. You wont be disappointed in their service or prices, it was top notch 👌
I'm grateful for companies like D&V for existing as they truly were the most cost-efficient, friendly, convenient and honest people. My car wouldn't start one morning and I had called 3 different auto shops and was quoted over $400 to replace a starter plus a towing fee. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to stumble across D&V on a basic google search. I was able to get an appointment promptly, they came to my garage, confirmed a starter issue, replaced the starter, and had my car running in no time! No tow necessary. Their mobile service saved me a lot of money and allowed me to get work done from home while they worked on my car. I would genuinely recommend their mobile auto repair service to anyone looking for an honest mechanic and I look forward to calling them for my future mechanical needs.
