The trouble is the phrase 'refurb' is badly used, most alternator places simply clean them and fix the faults, many don't replace the bearings (hence how they can do them for 50-60 notes).

The Vx ones are re-manufactured so new reg, rec and bearings plus a full clean rebuild and test.

Similarly, a hone repair can be pretty close if not better than this for less than a questionable refurb price.

Plus you can use decent bearings and not the elcheapo skate board ones some of the shops use  :y

And a 12 months warranty ;)
