Well I don't know of any alternator shops or dealerships in "nowhere". But when you're somewhere, look for a Toyota specialist/dealership for a new one or a starter/alternator shop for a rebuild of your old one. I would also recommend if it's an old battery that you make sure that is not the problem as well. An optima sealed battery is an excellent low-maintenance replacement that you can get at almost any auto-parts store for an increased price of course. But here "somewhere" in Arizona, I brought my brothers alternator to Smartstart for a rebuild cost of about $160. Once again, I want to emphasize that you should make sure it's not a dead battery first, 'cause it's a B**** to take off that alternator and put it back on.
