Took my first drive in roughly 7 1/2 months. I remembered how! Freedom !!! Glenn tested car during driving following new battery install mid-January. All appears OK. Not sure if it's a promo, but Glenn installs a new battery, then leaves his hand tools he used in your car. I found them about 2 months later. I'll check with him on this one.😁

Many thanks to Glenn for great service. I just rec'd a mid-April consult with an ortho surgeon re a full hip replacement. Movement and flexibility has slightly improved since Glenn's service, so I plan to take my first drive (with my daughter) since my mishap. I look forward to an improved level of freedom. My car seems ready to go.

Absolute shout out and thank you to Glenn for his assistance. He picked up a battery at Costco, came to my place , installed it (started right up), loaded up my snow tires on rims, went back to his shop to swap wheels, do oil change, check running gear (brakes, fluid levels, etc) hen back to my place. I have no mobility due to broken hip, so my appreciation to Glenn. After all this, I hope I remember how to drive. 😃🚗🦽

My 2005 diesel has been unused and unstated for almost 6 months. All was ok when last used late August. Garage kept, on a battery tender. A broken hip ruled out any use. Tender was accidentally unplugged 3 months ago. Battery went completely flat. Plugging in mid-Dec showed dual lights on tender. Battery remains completely dead as of Jan 10. I know I should have tried starting car on a regular basis, but physical inability ruled this out. I know I'm facing a new battery and oil change asap. Brake fluid and maybe transmission fluid aside, is there anything else I should be looking at to restore my car to roadworthy status? I'll be swapping summer tires on rims with snow tires on rims.
