If you go to a dealer, you will likely wind up paying $400-500 for the 'inspection and battery replacement'.


Owner: "I think my battery is failing, could you inspect and let me know"

SA: "Sure, diagnostic fee is 150"

Owner: "OK, let me know"


[music plays...]


SA "You were spot on- battery is dying. Replacement is $300 plus installation and computer blah blah. So a total of $445.99. But we wont charege a diagnostic if you replace it." If you just want to piuck it up, its $150.


Owner "dang it, should have just bought one for $199 and picked up the carly app, or paid an indy $50 to code it"
