First, Happy New Year to you all and thanks for the help this past year. I'm looking for a new battery for my '05 Ford Escape. My question is should I get one from the dealer or go to Auto Zone? I'm obviously looking for the best battery for the money. I should say that I like my dealer, and the price for a new battery there isn't much more than a top-of-the-line from Auto Zone. Still, the warranty on Auto Zone's best battery is insane (good), and I want something that will crank in really cold weather.
Last oil change and checkup at the dealer showed I needed a new battery but all the systems were fine. I started having trouble when the temp here dropped and assume it will just get worse. And, yeah, I don't mind changing the battery in the parking lot. :-)
Thanks
