Sterling did my battery for $375 + tax. Not bad considering I got quotes as high has $700 from other dealerships.

im looking for someone that can code cheaper... i know it takes less than 30 minutes to register... I know some guy that can code anything i want on the car for 50 bucks and thats any code i want on the car... just forgot his SN... i called several dealers including my favorite dealer and 3 others said coding will cost.. $500-700 and i gave them a little insight on how coding works and made it seem like i dont know what i was talking about.. ME: Hi i would like to get a quote on getting my battery register. DEALER: ok let me check.. Retrofit, coding and register will cost you $825 ME: Retrofit? Coding? All i need is to register, also what retrofit are you talking about its a battery replacement. DEALER: We have to make install and make it fit and it will take time to code.. ME: (at this point im already cracking up) Retrofit? how would you retrofit a battery that is a rectangular shape and the new one is exact same size. I can install that without any issue. all i need is to register.. DEALER: (he mumbles and stumbles on words) oh oh I mis-understood you.. oh ok you just need to register.. let me see... it will cost $230 ME: to register a battery can take 30-45 minutes and will cost $230? DEALER: yes ME: how much do you charge per hour on Labor? DEALER: $90 ME: ok doesnt that answer just how much you should charged me? DEALER: no no its different.. ME: CLICK

ok--this is incredibly confusing. battery prices vary according to size, but why does bmw use different batteries? If i had gone with a Civic M3, i would need a smaller battery, but if I have a car with auto start/stop, I would need a $500 battery for all the constant drain!

For those needing the additional CCAs (extreme cold or lots of gadgets), stick with the OEM size.

New models have start/stop, so you get bigger battery... that cost a LOT MORE!!!

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
