Another big battery at $140

I just hope the sales person is as lucky when the boss finds out..:-)
Unless he /she is the boss ??

Ahhh for what could have been but for my honesty...! I had the GU in for new rear shocks, steering damper and a cranking battery today, prior to the big trip Willem. They gave me the bill and it was exceptionally reasonable. Half way down the road I figured to myself that they hadn't added the new Bond Battery to the bill. Brief moment of indecision and back I went. Sheepishly the owner told me that the garage crew had forgotten to add it to the work sheet! They were very happy that I'd returned and told them they'd neglected to bill me. As it happens, they gave me the Crown Lager battery but only charged me for a fosters lite so that was nice. I notice the difference between the two. She turns over like a 24 volt import now...real fast!

Cheers. Mick.

(Hey between the batteries and the freeby jerry can and fuel on the DCR, you're probably wasting be your time buying a lotto ticket lol.)

Willem, Battery World are competitive but not the cheapest, but it still shows you the huge markup they make just for the price of a phone call to order it.. I hope the batteries serve you well!! Michael

Willem,

Batteries are one of those items that end up with huge margins slapped on them and as it goes when you need a battery-you either buy one or you go nowhere.my best mate is an auto leccy,he puts a fair mark up on them but is still cheaper than most other places.for instance a battery you buy in repco for $122 i can get from him for $70 inc GST.thats the unmarked up price.i bought 2 800cca 160ah reserve batteries for the caravan with 3 year warranty for $224 inc GST.cant complain about that.cheers Paul

HAhahaha!, You have everyone running around like Chooks with their heads off down there!!. When are you Pee...ing off again ?. Got those bloody wheel bearings sorted yet?

Cheers Axle.
