Took it to dealership last week for normal oil change and inspection, battery tested bad. Wanted a second opinion so I took it to O'Reilly and same result but also found out the alternator was testing bad.
Took it to Autozone to get a Duralast and checked one more time with same result. They suggested trying to get warranty replacement but alternator is 3yr/36k. Dealer is throwing out $800 for a new alternator, I know I can replace it myself for $200.
Question is, has this happened to anybody else? Do I need to check something different? Seems very early to have both of these issues at once.

My 2010 alternator went out in 2013. As did the battery. My alternator was replaced as it was under warranty still, and the dealership covered the battery. Zero problems the last year and a half of having the new alternator. It took them over a week to get in a new alternator, no idea where it came in from or why it took so long.
