I DROVE INTO THE SERVICE BAY TODAY OUT OF 5 DEGREES COLD. THE SERVICE ADVISOR IMMEDIATELY POPPED OPEN MY HOOD AND CHECKED MY BATTERY. HE SAID IT WAS A 570 CCA  
  
 BUT IT WAS ONLY PUTTING OUT 450 – SO IT WAS BEGINNING TO FAIL. DID I WANT A NEW BATTERY TODAY AT $98.00?  
  
 I THINK MY BATTERY WAS COLD. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR A CCA CHECK WHEN IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 2 HOURS.  
  
 INFORM ME PLEASE FRANK
