If your mechanic is game to do this it's a lot cheaper than a rebuilt or new or even used alternator, and can be done alternator in car. And it's most likely what the trouble is. Usual cure is buy a new voltage regulator, comes with new brushes already in place.
Could also be a cracked ground wire from alternator to motor block, even an easier fix. Cracks sometimes inside the insulation jacket.
If you opt for a new alternator make sure mechanic knows the trick to installing one, posted on here or on townsendimports web site: Remove one lower bracket bolt, tilt the bracket on the engine block and remove alternator pivot bolt towards motor, room made by pulling it not straight out, but upwards at an angle.
