I came in for a routine oil change. At the time of my service, i was notified that my car battery was dangerously low, and recommended replacement, at the estimated cost of 195, plus tax.
I had previously had a battery replacement by Honda PASADENA 14 months prior, covered under warranty.
Typically, batteries last 3 years. They can even last longer, if they are more expensive batteries, which cost around $200.
My question-
1. Was my replacement battery from Honda so cheap it only lasted 14 months? (Because it was replaced under warranty)
2. Or would i have paid Honda $200 for a new battery of equally inferior quality?
As u could imagine, this situation made me mistrust Honda PASADENA, and i chose to replace my battery elsewhere. A Long lasting gel battery cost me $140....hmmmm.
I would appreciate a reply to this situation, thank you.
If i don t get one, i will have my answer.
Other than that, my service rep was very nice and the oil change was well performed.
