    Battery replacement

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I guess my battery is about to go, this morning it just wouldn't start, had to jump it. Car tests shows battery good but who knows. Looking to get one from advance auto parts, don't want to go to dealer for a battery.

    Ideas?

    Just go into advance and ask for the replacement. They will have it in stock.

    I bought mine at Interstate. First one I've ever owned. Seems to be very high quality and running very strong at 4 years. Had my fill of Sears, Exide, Advanced, Walmart, etc that last 3 or 4 years. They may all be made by the same company.

    i baught a used battery for $45 for my mazda 3 and lasted 4 1/2 years and with the audi i baught another one same brand for $45 and will probably last me that long again. is those type of batteries that new cars get repossessed and then they take off the battery. so is basically new/used. will never pay $100 for a battery. not because i'm cheap is just no difference to be honest.
