2. Tech arrives, tests first.
No assumptions. Resting voltage check + load test before we sell you a new battery. Sometimes the alternator is the culprit.

Keeps power to the car's memory chips during the swap. Without it, you lose radio codes and some settings.

Old out, terminals cleaned, new battery installed with proper hold-downs and torque.
5. Verification.
Engine running. Voltage on the new battery should sit at 13.8-14.4V at idle if the alternator is doing its job.
6. Pay and recycle.
$125 labor + battery cost. We take the old battery for recycling at no extra charge.
