Alternator Trouble - Toyota Yaris Forums

My mother is having trouble with her 2006-2007 Yaris Alternator. The battery indicator light came on so she took it in for service. Toyota said the alternator was bad and not keeping an adequate charge on the battery. The dealer said it was registering a 13.7. The dealer said above a 14 is acceptable. She has been to another garage for a second opinion. The second garage told her a 13.7 to 14.2 is an acceptable range. The Yaris has been running fine with no problems starting or running any features. Anyone have a definitive answer on the acceptable ranges? or had any alternator trouble that is similar? Thanks for the help.
