Trying to get a hold of Start-N-Charge

[Burninout101]

I have been trying to get a hold of Start-N-Charge to order an alternator. Been waiting on a call back and always get the machine. The number off of cobrabobs shiftergasket site goes to what sounds like a residential answering machine. 509.447.0289. Does anyone have a better way of getting a hold of Jamie to place an order? Is he still accepting orders?

Thanks

Yes he is still in bizz.

He just posted up on ModFords about a family emergency that had him out of contact for quite a while.

Two people just got their new alternators from him.

Keep trying.

I'll try to find a link.

Has all the issues been sorted out on these units? Id like to have one on stand by for when my stocker dies.

I recieved my alt about 2 weeks ago. He does this on the side so you will just have to wait for him to respond. Yes, that is his home answering machine.

Great guy to deal with, once you get him.

I called them twice on 2 different days and they picked up right away...this was less than a month ago

He's always been available to me and the one time I got his machine, he called back within the day.

Jamie isn't always able to answer the phone as this is not a full-time business. I've called a number of times over the months since I advertise for him on my website but have only gotten him once. So be patient. Leave a message and he'll usually respond within 24 hours. Trust me, his alternator is worth your patience. He knows alternators like nobody else IMO.

I have the same problem..been trying to get a hold of him but no answer.. Stocker already died and I dont wanna put in an autozone one. Guess my car will be outta commission till I get a hold of him! Anyone know about how much they cost?

 

[latemodelracer2]

pm cobrabob i think he should know how much.

 

[Pock]

I think he's around $300.00 for everything...

Is this for a straight up buy, or is there a core charge? Just wondering if I could pick one up to have on the shelf in case the stock one quits.

mine was $327 but it already started to whine and sparks when I rev the car up, but i think something is wrong with me car.

there's no core charge

 

[steve5575]

Mine was around $337 which was $300 for the alt and lead wire with mini fuse, $15 for a stock size Cobra pulley (I'm pretty sure he offers difference sizes) and the balance was for shipping from the North West, US to Austin, TX.

good info, thanks guys.

It might be great if Jamie was able to do some sort of online ordering with payment by PayPal. Again, his time to turn these around might be limited. I would imagine a good amount of time goes into doing the modifications. Definitely worth the money.

Well my start n charge alt failed in two weeks, I emailed Jamie twice and he has not gotten back to me I will try and call him today after work and see what he thinks (if I can get ahold of him).

Been thru this before. Guy dosent really have a web site and operates out of his home. His alts. are starting to fail because its a desgin flaw with the small case and too much heat. You can build one out of gold and it will fail.
Get one from ford! $230 youll get 30,000 to 60,000 miles out of it. or have it rebuilt for $130 and get 15,000 to 30,000 miles out of it. Autozone and other drive in part stores will sell your the wrong alt that is not 130 amps.
