I am looking for someone wheather it be car dealer shop or whatever to deliver a battery to my neighbors house who is in assisted living. Triple a was there Saturday and confirmed dead battery. It’s a 2022 Subaru crosstek limited.

AAA should be able to bring a battery & install.

I thought AAA sold batteries on the spot. But you can order a battery from a local Autozone store and they will deliver it and install it. I think other auto parts stores will do the same.

I asked triple a guy and he said they don’t do it. Seemed to me he was like a independant contractor and did this on a part time job. Thanks for the auto zone tip.

They don’t deliver and install

Interesting. The store I talked to in Lady Lake told me that they do.

If you can get the car started and drive to an auto parts store, most of them will install it.

I have had AAA deliver and replace batteries, but not here. Maybe it is a local thing. But it is certainly surprising. The last time I got a jump from AAA, the guy had batteries in his truck to sell me without even a request. But that was in TN.


Why is the battery in a 2022 Subaru no good? Its only 3 years old. I could see it being dead, perhaps from sitting a long time. But you should be able to jump it or put a trickle charger on it, at least enough to get the car running. Something is odd.

I did that at a dealership once and had to park it in their check-in service area.
When they tried to drive it in the service bay, it wouldn't start,
They had to jump start it and charged me a $50.00 for jump starting it.

Nice!

Call AAA. The guy is lazy.

If you can get the battery out, you will get the $40 core charge when you go to the store, it appears any of the other suggested options you lose the core charge. If you can borrow a charger, I would attempt to charge the battery, and get the car started, go to the Autoparts store and have them install a new battery. Normally I would offer to help, but I am currently way too busy to take on any more tasks.

Had triple A install a battery in my driveway a few days ago. You will pay a premium if not a member. Find the AAA website Florida location

I don’t see many wanting the liability for this car.

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.

This is the reason i suggested getting the car started and going to the Autoparts store, they typically have a device to plug into the OBD port that will keep the car memory intact.
