You want surgery, go where they have tool boxes sitting under lights with big doors to wheel you in. No more than the CLERK in a pharmacy can set your broken leg. And no, the CLERK behind the counter who is working in a RETAIL store is not your mechanic. Last night, my car had been sitting for a couple of. If you are going to the auto parts store thinking they can handle your negligence, we've just highlighted the problem. I tightened those down, borrowed my dads battery charger to give it a full charge and hoped for the best. They add five quarts when the engine light comes on. They ignore maintenance, the life cycle of parts, and they don't even try to prevent catastrophic failure. It's not rocket science, for all those who at least clean their CCW once a week, I can point out most do not clean their terminals at all until failure occurs.Īmericans practice to fail. I've cleaned the battery terminals twice this year, too. My starter is acting up, I don't drink beer, so, it's getting changed out this month, BEFORE it fails leaving me stuck someplace. OMG the starter only has 165k on it and its mostly working right, why change it now? Paying attention and keeping ahead of normal wear and tear is asking far too much. Its accuracy is more than 99 when batteries are in good condition and not too old (less than three years). Most Americans simply ignore things until it's too late then demand everyone kiss their ass fixing their incompetence. The AutoZone Battery Test is 99 accurate in testing traditional 12Volt batteries, including wet cell deep cycle/ starting, AGM, and gel cell. They also require you to intelligently use them and not discharge them with 1000 watt amps, lights, or neglect them waiting for failure to do something about it. Batteries have a finite life, need repeated maintenance to clean the terminals, and require an alternator that works to maintain their charge. I know places like Autozone have a battery tester for car batteries where they crank in the cold cranking amps and put a load on it, but I dont know if. Now you want to clerk to pull the broken ends of the bone back inside and stitch it up? Nope, not happening.Įven worse, you've been ignoring the growing sinkhole in the yard for weeks and now that you did fall in and break your leg, its suddenly important. You have already failed in not utilizing the correct solution. Going there for competent diagnosis is like dragging your broken leg into CVS and asking them to set it. An auto parts store is not the emergency room.
