I am about to take my 2008 Civic for another oil change. I take my car to the service shop at a Honda dealership because it was advised to make sure my warranty stays valid and so I have record of maitenance on my car. Last time I took it in I had them check the battery because everytime my car sits from more than 3 days without being used, it always needs a jump - regardless of the time of year. It just so happens that the last time I took it in, I needed a jump that morning and the emergency assistance person said that according to the indicator/window thing on the battery, I needed a new battery. When I took it to the dealership they said the battery was fine when they checked it. Currently my car is under warranty but it won't be forever and I don't want to jump my car every time I leave town for a couple days. On random days my car sometimes has trouble starting and it only has 33,000 miles on it. Any suggestions to "make" the dealership change the battery under warranty?
