Lancaster Starter Alternator rebuilt my 44 year old No longer available European Ford starter. And at half the price of a specialty restoration shop rebuild.. Best decision of 2021, these guys are the real deal and do wonderful work. They even painted the unit and returned it in a box looking as new.. Just great folks..

This place is the best for great workmanship, quality service and parts. Ive have several motorcycle and automobile starters and alternators rebuilt and repaired with no problems. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Hard to find a shop like this these days.

Bart is the best! Took care of my alternator issue when the Lucas alternator crapped out in my antique British car (Joseph Lucas is the Prince of Darkness). Bart is a British car guy himself. He recognized my old alternator when I walked in with it. Who recognizes 45 year old alternators?? He went the extra mile by coming in early to get me back on the road ASAP. A new alternator with just under twice the capacity (at my request) was ready for pick up 3 days after I dropped my old one off. He even glass beaded and painted my old pully before putting it on the new alternator. Bart really took a genuine interest making sure I was well taken care of. He knows his stuff. Definitely a do-it-right-the-first-time or not at all kind of guy. A dying bread for sure. He even helped carry my parts to my vehicle. You dont get that kind of service at a chain store. No cheap China stuff here either. Im betting this alternator will outlive me. A family owned business. He was highly recommended to me by a friend who has been restoring cars for almost 50 years. Glad I took my friends advice. THANKS BART!

LSA is awesome! Wish I could give them more stars, they were recommended to me when I had some alternator issues on my truck, & I couldn’t find a replacement. I have since used them numerous times for starters and alternators and I’ve never had an issue with any of the parts I’ve purchased from them, what makes it even better is that they treat me more like a friend than a customer every time I walk in, and even if I had issues with the product I would still go there for that reason alone. Thanks for being so awesome guys and putting out great products!

Review №20

I have been going to LSA for years. I typically have questions and requests over and above a stock replacement piece, and Bart always takes the time to answer my questions and helps me pick out the right part for my application. I have bought many alternators and starters from them over the years and I refuse to buy those parts from anywhere else. I have never had a failure and these parts help my performance vehicles reach their potential....Id give more than 5 stars if I could, I love these guys.

WoW!!!I am a small business owner of a tree company. When things go wrong it can be costly!! I was able to fix a issue I had with my chipper instead of buying from Robbery NAPA !! @ $360. So I paid a lot less with these guys. And they were on point and new what to do. So please use these guys!! I’ll definitely go back if I need them in future!! Thanks

They seem to stand by their products and do their best to help the customer. I would purchase here again and continue to trust their parts in my car. They resolved my situation very quickly with no trouble, it didnt even take very long. The store is low profile from the street but they are very professional and take things seriously.

Review №35

Tried to give this place an opportunity to earn my business but after being lied to I’ll never go here, called in to ask about a starter being rebuilt and they blatantly lied to me and said it’s not rebuildable, First of all from a business standpoint, you should never lie to your customers or mislead them but obviously it didn’t matter in this case. I tried another shop and what do you know they rebuilt it with no problems. You guys should’ve been upfront and honest and just say we prefer not to rebuild them, you’d be better of with a new one or something like that, not just lie to sell a new one.

I needed brushes for a 58 year old starter generator. Checked other places and came up with nothing, these guys not only had them, they were cheaper than eBay and I was able to get them the same day! Excellent customer service, highly recommend, will be back if I have any starter/ generator/ alternator issues fixed n the future.

Went in @ 7 am on a Friday for a car battery. Staff was professional and helpful. Confirmed dead battery, took old one, and replaced with new. New quality battery at a fair price. Had me back out the door in less than 5 minutes. Would recommend to anyone looking for a retail experience hard to come by anymore.

These guys are top notch. Came in for an alternator for my Cherokee, and was charged the price as if I had my core replacement with me. They trusted that I would bring in my old unit after I changed it out, which I did the following day. Very happy with my rebuilt alternator, even came with new hardware! The unit went in very easily and I didnt have any issues installing. Will definitely be back if needed.

These guys were super amazing! Not only did they test my alternator to make sure that it actually was and alternator problem, they were super helpful in finding a better mechanic than the one that I currently have and could not have been more helpful or more hilarious. Special thanks to Bart who helped me deal with the lack of power.

Went in here to ask some questions and have my alternator tested and the customer service was great!! Bart and the whole crew there are awesome friendly people!! Bart even went out of his way to call a few other places to help me out with my problem. I couldnt be more happy with there service they offer and i would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for alternator, starter, or battery service. I will definitely be returning again. First impressions are key and these guys knocked it out of the park.

Review №54

I came in looking to upgrade my 65 amp 1g alternator to a 130 amp 3g model. Like most diy people we research the internet for hours collecting good and bad information. I wish I would have just came to Lancaster Stater and Alternator right from the start. Totally would have saved me so much time looking for answers they already had . Brat set me up with the right upgraded alternator, upgraded connectors and power wire to get this project underway! I was well informed and left completely satisfied! I’ll be giving you guys a shout out on my YouTube episode! Thanks 🙏!

I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHATICALLY REBUKE AND CORRECT THE NEGATIVE GOOGLE REVIEW BY JAKE RHOADS ON NOVEMBER 29, 2018.MR. RHOADS BROUGHT AN ALTERNATOR INTO LANCASTER STARTER CLAIMING THAT HE PURCHASED THE ALTERNATOR HERE LAST YEAR SOME TIME. ANYONE WHO HAS PURCHASED A STARTER OR ALTERNATOR FROM US KNOWS THAT LANCASTER STARTER ALWAYS PLACES A LANCASTER STARTER AND ALTERNATOR FOIL TAG WITH OUR NAME CLEARLY VISIBLE ON THE STICKER. WE ALSO STAMP THE DATE & PART NUMBER ON THE STICKER. THE UNIT THAT MR. RHOADS BROUGHT IN HAD A PAPER BAR CODE TAG THAT WAS CLEARLY A REMAN UNIT FROM A PARTS STORE. WE TRIED VERY PATIENTLY TO EXPLAIN TO MR. RHOADS THAT IT WAS NOT ONE OF OUR ALTERNATORS BUT HE WAS VERY BELIGERENT AND UNINTERESTED IN THE OBVIOUS FACTS. MR. RHOADS IS EMPLOYED BY ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND THREATENED THAT HIS COMPANY WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS HERE AGAIN. WE CONTACTED HIS EMPLOYER TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE VERY HAPPY AND ARE AWARE OF OUR POLICY OF MARKING ALL OF OUR UNITS WITH OUR STICKER. IT IS ASHAME WHEN A PERSON CAN POST A BAD REVIEW WHEN THEY ARE CLEARLY IGNORANT TO OBVIOUS FACTS. I HOPE THE PARTS STORE WHERE THE OFF-SHORE REMAN WAS PURCHASED WAS ABLE TO HELP HIM.

I grew up working with these guys as long as i can remember. Never had ANY problems with them. Nicest guys to work with until today, Wednesday November 28, 2018. Went in there to see if they could rebuild an alternator that i had bought from them around a year ago give or take. And all they wanted to do was argue that it was not theirs. Bart, this has NOTHING to do with the company i work for. Its my own peraonal alternator. You sit there an threatened me with a civil law suit because you wanted to argue with me thats not how it works buddy i just needed the dam thing rebuilt n you had to argue then you went as far as to call my boss and the owner of the company i work for .sorry buddy thats not cool it has nothing to do with them you guys will no longer be getting me as a customer it was the worst customer service i have ever dealt with ever
