Wow you would trust some moron at Wallmart to work on your car :eek: :eek:

I just picked up a Delco for mine since I wanted to keep it original looking. It's not hard to replace a battery. About a 10 min job.

Actually, the boys at Walmart didnt do it. They wanted to write a service order to test if my old battery was dead if it was still in the car. So....I took out the battery, tested it at 135 CCA, walked inside, bought it, borrowed their tools and installed it myself. Heck no would I let a 17 yr old HS dropout touch my car. But the installation HAD I actually let them touch would have been free. No core charge...strange.....

Oh, the Walmart battery was yellow. I kinda felt there was a theme....
