Do you have AAA - Page 2

AAA will replacement your old battery for free if you originally bought a battery from them. I bought a new battery in 2018 and it died last month. They replaced for free. Make sure you keep your receipts. Because we live in the desert our batteries only last 2 or 3 years. AAA will also replace your windshield wipers for a much better price than a dealership.

I have AAA and I bought the subscriptions for 2 daughters.

I don’t know about the costs.

My advice for you is to always shop around, always.

Only after you’ve checked prices can you make an informative decision.

Make sure they are willing to put the battery in for you as they are a bit heavy and not easy to get in and out.

Always check with others to find the best cost.

AAA tow truck operators are more than happy to sell you a new battery. But their batteries are expensve. I've had them jump-start my car, then I make a beeline to Pep Boys (or another auto supply store) where I purchase a battery at a reasonable price.

Why not have it installed at the garage where you get your car serviced...inspected? Looking for the lowest price might not be a good idea. Buy a good battery.

How often are you driving the car? Are you keeping the battery charged?

If you have a garage (need an electrical outlet), have them put on a Battery Tender or something similar. It is attached to your car battery and keeps it charged to 100%.

A battery charger is also a suggestion. They are very easy to use.

QVC sells Halo, an instant car starter for dead batteries that will get you to a garage.

@FlowerBear I've been an AAA member for as long as I can recall.

A few months ago my battery died. I called AAA and the guy tested it after he got it jumped, and it had only 8% voltage left!

I bought one from him right then and there. I don't recall the price but it was worth it.

I LOVE AAA. They've saved my bacon more than once! My late DH said we would NEVER be without it.

My DS and his wife have had it for many years as well. They are lifesavers IMO.

The peace of mind AAA gives me is well worth the cost.I have had excellent service from them including new batteries. Living alone I know I can get service anywhere at anytime.

I've had AAA for decades and am very pleased with it. My battery is one I purchased from them. After having a few batteries 'go bad' one guy from AAA, who came to my house, told me about the Battery Tender Jr.

Because I drive so little now (like REALLY little!) my batteries were just running down. You can keep the Battery Tender plugged in all the time, obviously while NOT driving, or just plug it in to charge it up fully from time to time.

I do the second choice and, every few weeks or so, I plug it in until it's fully charged. My little driving was all that the problem was, all that time.

One of the outlets in my garage is right next to the door so, since I was always backing in anyway, the front of my car is right near the outlet so it works out well.

This has been a huge game-changer for me in the battery department. It's been quite a few years now (I'd say 5-7) and no having to replace the battery.

I've had Triple A (AAA) for many years. I also gift it to DD for her birthday each year, and she gets a ton of use from them. I once happened to sit next to a Triple A contractor/tow truck diver at an auction and he explained how it works. Triple A members get prioity on calls. They get paid less in some cases, but payment is instantly deposited to their account. And they never get stiffed, as they do with many customers. They are rated on feedback, which keeps their performance up. Once a guy spent a good hour triangulating tow ropes around trees in my yard to free my car that had gotten stuck on an icy slope. I wouldn't be without AAA.
