Description of the problem	Car wouldn't start at shopping area - paid $5 for a battery jump - had car tested at local auto shop - said we needed an alternator but may be under warranty - went to eastern shore toyota - for $56. 57 - yes we needed an alternator - not under warranty -cost $580 - take til tues - suggest we spend $100 plus and rent a car. We elected to take our chances and had the vehicle fixed closer to gulf shores where we are staying - cost was $396.
