Battery Woes
After a good run, my OEM battery has finally died. Took a look on the forums and everyone was saying to give roadside a call. Well I did, and the wanted $75 just to drive out, in addition to local dealer cost for battery. No more free service (yes, I've spent thousands at the dealership in the last few months).
Called dealership and they wanted $276 for the battery!!!! (Just for the part alone)
Unfortunately I'll be forced to pick up an interstate from Costco for around $175 instead.
I like to stay oem, but at some point it's just paying $100 for a logo buried under the carpet liner of the trunk.

There's many threads on where to get a battery. I think Advance Auto has it for $195, but there are $50 discount codes that you could find on retailmenot. Same with Autozone and Pepboys. I think Advance auto will install for free, but Pepboys charges. Those are also AGM batteries. Does Costo have an AGM battery or is it just a regular battery?
