I was very happy with the Midas muffler shop in Renton for my Toyota. There was another independent shop in Tukwila called 'Bob's Auto repair as I recall that was awful. The charged me almost $600 for an alternator repair. I fought the charge and took it to Midas for at least 1/3 less.
Since you didn't say what part of town you are in, 'let your fingers do the walking' and call a few shops and ask what they charge per hour for labor rates and what 'the book' says about how long an alternator replacement should take. Then call a NAPA autoparts store to find out what they charge for a new alternator for your make/model of car. That will give you a really good idea what it should cost for the repair so you can tell who's reasonable and who's overpriced.
