I store my Jeep over the winter, change the oil just before
storage. So come spring I needed a new battery. The garage tried
to sell me an oil change even though it had only 100 miles on the
oil and 2 or 3 engine starts.

Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking of taking it to a
dealership out of town(roughly 50m away). They always get good ratings
for their outstanding service! As far as myself doing it, no way! I'd
just as soon roll it off a cliff, with me in the driver's seat!

Exactly what I said the last 5 times this came up...............not
complaining.............happy to get a chance to say it again.......even
happier to see that more people agree with me than I had previously thought.
