I absolutely LOVE Advance Auto. I've been doing this trick for the past few years. I NEVER buy anything in the store anymore, unless it's like $5.

I recenly bought a $27 socket set for removing rounded bolts for $17 (with $10 coupon) and picked up in store the same day.

Advance Auto always has really good coupon codes...I happened to use the $10 off any $25 item coupon. There are some even nicer ones if you're spending right at $100.

Just do a search for Advance Auto coupon code, and most often Retail Me Not is the website with them.

I changed mine out at around June. I used AAA so they drive to wherever I am and installl an Interstate battery for me for around 140. And they have pro-rated replacements similar to that of Costco. If the battery dies within the first three years it's completely free and they come to your house to exchange it.

I have a '08 G35s 70k miles still running on original battery. The dealer checked it out and said it was good. And I am experiencing on slow crank yet.

I will never buy an optima battery again. The last 3 or 4 I put in my talon were absolute crap.

From here on out I'm only buying normal batteries and using the advance auto coupon "trt41". That's $40 off a $100+ battery.

Is this an ever-lasting coupon? Also, is it battery specific, or $40 any $100 purchase?

Just had the original battery replaced in my 2011. The car was still starting OK but the battery voltage dropped to about 11.9 V very quickly with the ignition off. Load test result was "needs charge"... This was the longest lasting battery I've ever had. Here in South Florida the heat usually kills them off in 2 years. Get it changed - it's not worth the aggravation of getting stuck somewhere.

Just changed mine yesterday. It died on me early Friday morning, and had been recharged every time tmit was at the dealership for the past couple of months. I guess the cold weather did it in.

I replaced the battery on my 2009 G37x last month since the original was getting weak. I don't want to begin the winter with a weak battery.

I live in South Florida too, and I have never had a battery last only 2 years. Mine last at least 4 years and a few even longer. I also have a 2011 G and the original battery is fine.

I wound up replacing my battery. My cranking power was low. Probably my own fault since due to my own stupidity this past summer I had to jump start my car one day. I had an Interstate Megatron Plus installed.

I had my 2009's battery replaced last winter. Car just wouldn't start, and after a jump and driving around for forever, it would not hold a charge. I also had my dealer do it with an upgraded cold starting amps because the cost difference was negligible.
