was going to the store and my battery is dead...couldnt get a hold of anyone so since I have roadside assistance w/ my insurance i called them up...at an hour wait though
whats the best place at a decent price to get a new battery installed. Last time I went to walmart, which this battery only lasted like 3 years, I could have sworn batteries last like 5 years
yes and I care what you think
I dont know shyt about cars, but i know how to change oil, batteries, and tires
lol at paying to install a battery, ive never done that
oh ok
my question was pertaining to what place has decent prices on batteries that also install. For example, walmart and autozone dont charge for battery installation, but autozone batteries are more expensive
oh ok
Its not the fact that we cant change the battery, its the fact that if its 11 at night and your battery is dead you cant walk to the store and pick up a battery. Why not make a call and have AAA bring a battery and install for you.
I dont know about you but I wouldn't just leave my car overnight and wait till the morning until Autozone opens.

update:
went to autozone, stated my battery was bad even though I just bought it in 2010
warranty had passed
but I did get a credit of like $58
ended up paying $60
my uncle and I installed it, took less than 4 min

man, this exact same thing happened to me last week. I got off the train and walk to my whip and the battery was dead. I ended up getting a battery the next day from Costco. They have warranties on all their shyt, so if its decides to go out, they'll give u a new one. or pro-rate it depending on how old it is. same goes for buying tires at costco, cuz I had to have a $250 tire replaced, and they only charged me $60 based on the amount of tread left on the tire.
I started to call for roadside assistance, but luckily someone driving stopped and gave me a jump cuz I was out there with my jumper cables all hooked up.
another time, I lost my keys in a bar a few years ago and had a 2nd key inside the car and they were gonna come open my door at 2am. fortunately, I ended up finding my keys in the bar before they came.
but I think the roadside assistance is worth it. I mean it doesn't really cost but like $10 extra on ur insurance over the 6 months.

thats bullshyt. my costco battery cost $71 including tax and that was with no discount or credit. I went in the parking lot and installed it myself on the spot.

im glad your uncle taught you how to change your car's battery. You should get your uncle to join the coli.
