How reliable is AutoZone?
I'm having a prob with battery alternator complex... My car wouldn't start without a jump and when shut off wouldn't start again without another jump. I took the alternator out and went to AutoZone and they tested it and it was fine. So I take it back and reinstall it and decide to just take my car to the zone for testing the battery. After the jump and on the drive up there I guess I fixed a bad connection because it began to work fine. I could start it alone and it was perfect. That was a week and a half ago and now it is doing the same thing again. Could I still have a bad connection still? Was AutoZone right about the alternator? Do I just need a new battery...? Thanks and sorry for the long ass explanation.

Re: How reliable is AutoZone?
Is there corrosion around the battery terminals?

Re: How reliable is AutoZone?
Also, an easy way to clean off the corrosion without all that green crap flying all over the engine bay, is with a can of Pepsi. Pour some in a cup and then dip the battery terminal in the soda. Allow it to sit a couple of minutes, rinse with water, dry and reattach.

I'd go with Coca Cola it is more potent.

Re: How reliable is AutoZone?
I know but some pops have a higher concentration of acidic contents. I'm pretty sure Coke has the highest too. That is why I said that. Don't get all bent out of shape it isn't like im promoting I don't even drink pop. Geez

Re: How reliable is AutoZone?
I've always found a lot of baking soda with a little water to eat corrosion right up. I'm not completely sure, but I don't think you are supposed to turn a batt upsidedown. Then when it's all clean add a little petroliem jelly on the terminals to keep it from corroding again.
