I had the radio of torn out of my pickup and it wouldn't start. I had it towed and they called me saying that my batteries were dead and I needed new batteries. I indicated to them that the batteries were good and they should probably try charging them. He called me back the next day after talking to his Tech again, and said he says the batteries are dead and need to be replaced. It's going to be $593 to replace those batteries. I declined and he said that I could bring batteries in and put them in myself or have them put them in. I ended up bringing the batteries and put new batteries in which cost me closer day $150 because there is a prorate on the batteries that I had. I did take the old batteries home though and put them on a charger and retested them after charging them and they were perfectly fine showing 900 + cold cranking amps. I was very disappointed that they would not charge the batteries themselves knowing that they had been drawn down completely by whoever got into the vehicle and left lights on. I don't believe with the experience that I had that I could rightfully tell a friend to take their vehicle there for service. The comment that was made to me by a service advisor about the batteries was well insurance will pay for it because the truck was broken into. That was pretty presumptive, and in my book might be considered insurance fraud.
