Vehicle began having problems starting. Started fine with a jump, but would sporadically start without one. Had to have battery checked several times as it would report charged from time to time. Even the internal battery level check would report 100%! After going to yet another shop to have the battery tested, it finally gave a "replace battery" reading. The battery was $185 and I was quoted an additional $200 to replace it! Since the battery is located under the drivers seat and can be difficult to remove, I went to my old faithful YouTube and found the instructions for replacing the battery. I had to pay $6 for the special tool to remove the screws, but consider it an addition to my tool box and did not include it with this repair.
