Rant: The week every car seemed to need a new alternator

Had three different vehicles in the shop last week, a Ford F-150, a Honda Civic, and a Chevy Silverado, all with the same alternator failure. The parts guy at NAPA said they'd sold more that week than in the previous month. Anyone else see weird spikes like that with specific parts?

Three different trucks all in one week is wild.

That "weird spike" the parts guy mentioned is probably just a coincidence, three cars is a pretty small sample size. It's not like there was some nationwide alternator curse last week, lmao. Just one of those random things that feels bigger than it is.

Check the parts lot for a bad batch.
