I wouldn’t listen to the clueless on this one. It isn’t as simple as just taking the hold down off and swapping terminals. Make sure you use a start pack and a jumper or you will wipe the memory which opens up a whole other can of worms.

Here’s a help video DIY

Thats not really true. When you disconnect the battery you not interfere with the computer. The only "memory" you will lose is the computers memory of the driving style of the cars owner. That memory is automatically refreshed when the owner starts driving the car again. It's the same memory that is established when you first buy the car.

AAA sells and delivers battery's.. BUT only to members

Subaru batteries
 
Subaru extended the warranty on their batteries because many of them were faulty. Call a local dealership and see if this battery is still covered, and if so, they'll replace it free. You'll probably have to charge the current one and get it to the dealership.

Yes, they did one for me.... it was even cheaper than going somewhere PLUS didn't have to get the car towed..... AAA is the way to go!!!

Well the original post by the OP is no longer discussed. By the time this is closed, it will go to discussion about car manufacturers, then to gas vs electric, then to saving the planet, then to are nebulas remnants of supernovas.

So Rocketman....did you find someone who delivers and installs the battery ?

ron32162 08-26-2025 08:57 AM
triple A always has batteries and installs

arbajeda 08-26-2025 08:57 AM
Having read through three pages of replies, I wonder why no one asked the OP why he didn't do it?

Just an FYI, the Florida AAA does not actually DO anything, compared to other locations. No foreign currency, no maps, (understandable they're mostly not printed now) and when I called them for a breakdown on I-95 they said they don't do that either. I bet that the guy they sent is just about the most response you would ever get from them. So I'm thinking I won't renew, there are better alternatives. And my bank will provide foreign currency so who needs AAA?

Battery Boys will deliver and install

Check with Subaru. There is a recall on some Crosstreks for battery issues.

Normally I would offer to help, but I am currently way too busy to take on any more tasks.
That’s because you are way too kind, I’m going to have to teach you this word, “No!” Thank you, giggle!

Are you a member? I've used our tow coverage several times.
