- CodeWriter23 9y agoThe ~25-foot long top to bottom shelf space dedicated to car batteries at most Walmart Stores would suggest it is a significant market.
- Broken_Hippo 9y agoYou are correct on tires. Batteries, though? Where I'm from many know how to do it and only a few pay. Sometimes the guys at auto zone will replace it for free or some dude in the parking lot is happy to help. Or that friend at work. And so on. A few cars have a more complicated path to the battery and you have to remove things, but it isn't usually a problem.
- cthalupa 9y agoI'm about as mechanically un-inclined as it gets and I still install my own batteries. It's trivial. I'm pretty sure I know far more people that install batteries themselves or with a friend than pay for someone to do it.
- speedplane 9y agoHave you ever tried to replace the battery on a Corvette? You need to take apart a dozen parts... it's ridiculous, I'm convinced they do it to keep mechanics in business.
