Yesterday my battery packed it in on a trip between Whistler and Vancouver. In Vancouver after much stop and go driving and engine starts/stops, the sunroof would go through cycle of close/open when I tried to close it after shutting off the car. Knowing this was a sign of the end of the life for the battery I called Wal-mart in Squamish. They had an Energizer 108-94R battery in stock. The purchase took all of 1 minute (and they carried it out to the car), the installation took about 5 minutes. It fits like an OEM. All for $114.

 

That is awesome! I never would've thought about looking there.

Walmart is a machine. They are taking over the world. Assimilate or be destroyed. Resistance is futile.

 

Hahaha yeah, they are destroying the local businesses though. I know a few shops that went out of business because of a Walmart that moved into town.

 

pretty cool

 

Tried to get my oil changed at Walmart. They even had the oil, but they wouldn't do it. Something about they didn't want to buy it. It was OK Zims did a great job for about the same price- and gave it VERY personal attention.

Buying a battery...yes....but I would draw the line at having them change the oil!!!

 

+1 - I don't mind purchasing said oil... But I wouldn't let them touch my car with their high school undergraduate program (no, I'm not interested in hearing the quality assurance program they have).
