Avoid Midas; they are muffler specialists. Costco will by far have the best price/value. If you can get someone to install it, it’s the best deal.

If you’re going to install the battery yourself, which is very easy, find out the battery type that you need and shop around for the best price. Where I live there are several auto parts stores that I can use to compare prices.

It doesn’t matter where you buy your battery as long as it’s the correct one.

Of course, you should check out all your local auto parts stores even if you’re going to have it installed. Find a place you feel comfortable with and go for it.
