Never pay dealer prices. Always best to go to aftermarket.

I picked up a DieHard European battery from Sears a couple months ago for $169 installed. I called around to Batteries Plus, AutoZone, Napa, and a couple other places at the time and they were all around the same price (in my area). I opted for Sears since they were they only ones who had it in stock. No problems with the battery so far (fingers crossed).

Hi. Go for an AGM battery if you have a lot of consumers.
