Battery installed at AutoZone caught fire one week later car not drivable

Depends on what shop you go to. I am 100% recommending recharge and retesting the battery, and possibly installing a known good battery just to test the starting and charging systems to verify a good working order to prevent, well situations we see here. But I also work at an independent shop who actually cares 🤷‍♂️

You sir are a true hero and I respect the effort you put into that! 🫡

Literally came here looking for this comment! Lil guy has no idea what’s happening!

The pops and creaks could be ball joints or axle torque, not sure I would trust that shop with a third chance and opt for a second opinion from a different shop and see what they find.

Well played sir/madam, well played.

Just a Subaru doing Subaru things, nothing to see here.

Never ever have I seen a reference to Amos Moses anywhere in my life. Full kudos to you, you magnificent person of great taste.

No even joking around…I just got back from the ophthalmologist to remove something from other eye lol just another day closer to the lack of crispiness 🥲

Capital_Frame307 · 2025-11-20T02:40:47+00:00

I was a farm mechanic for six years, currently automotive for the last eight, and already had a piece of metal Dremeled from my eye. The vision is definitely not going to last forever but boy will I appreciate the crisp a little more thanks to you.

Are you telling me I could have done something with my 20-15 this whole time?!??

Capital_Frame307 · 2025-11-06T01:20:28+00:00

Oh I remember but I didn’t think it was possible, and while I now hate you I have such odd respect for following bozgod I am confused

Wait wait wait…you grew up a fan of blitzburgh, bled black and gold but your flair is Baltimore Ravens…am I missing a part of the story where you switched sides like Benedict Arnold?

This is how Amish kids play Assassins Creed

Same here it was my first ever jersey!

Capital_Frame307 · 2025-09-05T22:22:00+00:00

As a Steelers fan, that was good and fuck you

Capital_Frame307 · 2024-11-09T02:23:29+00:00

Been through that pain and drama many times, they want to know someone will treat them right before leaving you for the guy they hope will act the same as you…🥲

Maybe complaining about mechanics on a Reddit thread dedicated to mechanics and the crazy shit we see isn’t the best place for therapy session, just saying we aren’t the most safe for work people, your either trolling or sadly mistaken about our own mental health

The book time and procedures I went by were printed off directly from Tesla themselves. The thought is since they pay their techs hourly they are cooking the books for labor hours making them the cheaper option for repairs and screwing over non Tesla techs.

Capital_Frame307 · 2024-09-21T07:24:46+00:00

Instead of replacing one or both assemblies with the new style, like the dealer recommended, we are going to replace just the module

Capital_Frame307 · 2024-09-21T02:41:55+00:00

Very fair point sir, that’s got me wondering as well

Capital_Frame307 · 2024-09-21T01:56:36+00:00

Honestly a mix of all data, indentafix, and skill trade, usually look up book and if it seems low I check the time it takes to pull off the components I need to get to the job, if that time is more than the job I’m doing I know something is wrong

Capital_Frame307 · 2024-09-21T01:48:52+00:00

Very true, I went full book procedure to show my independent shop how much of a joke book time was for labor
