Is the waranty for a part such as an Ac delco, given by you(the store) or by the manufacture?

I ask becuz i keep getting screwed here....

I bought and Oh'rieleys alternator a couple years back, and about 10 miles later it crapped out at 2 am in some po-dunk town between miami and daytona.
The only store that had one was Bennett Auto suply. witch is only in Florida
They wouldn't waranty my oh'rileys alt' obviously, so i had to buy a new one. I got a Ac Delco, thinking if it ever went out, any store would carry them.

Well now, the new Delco is dead, and i am in Texas. I called bennett and they said it only good for a year???
I checked with AZ, discount, advanced etc and they all other Lifetime.


Please, if you work at a store, can you help me out? This will make the 3rd $200 alternator i have bought($600 on just alternators )
Let me know please.
Ac delco 321-1113 is the part #

 

The warranty is by AC delco but through the retailer, so you return it to the retailer who returns it to AC Delco and gets credit for it. The problem is a lot of places won't take an AC Delco alt. if it was bought at another parts store. Advance won't... but if I'm closing with thr right manager one night I'll see if I can get that taken care of for you.

I'll email or PM you if I can work that one out.

 

Thanks man i really apreciated it
