this is good advice, they'll test it for free and if it's bad they will put the new one in for you

oscar will be disappointed if you don't change it out yourself.

[HerrSonntag]

Barely starting multiple days in a row during a cold snap screams battery.

[slobber]

Change it yourself.


Gonna win 'em all!

I had 1980 Zephyr. Yes I loved the RHCP song at the time. Anyway I carried around a pipe that I'd have to hit the starter with to get it to start. Then I changed the starter myself when it finally died.

[Dr Rick Daris]

it was the battery, you guys. also got some new windshield wiper blades. 

[The Big Train]

im happy for you, rick
