I had to have remote service come out to our house to install a new battery. At twice the cost it would have if I brought it to a service center.

Lesson learned. Replace your battery at least every 4-5 years to be safe. Fair warning folks.
Generally my motto is “if it’s not broke don’t fix it”. On the car, I would call AAA. We got the grandkids AAA last Christmas. Best present ever my granddaughter says! But to each their own…
