I feel 455.00 for a car battery is way to expensive while most places charge 177 and my car dealer charges 225. $400 for a car battery is way to much. Resolution Sought Charge the decent amount for a battery the car dealer charges 225 for battery not 450.00.

Dear Business Consumer Alliance I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to address your recent consumer complaint Ms. Biernacki. Ms. Biernacki also has defamed us on a few local social media posts on a site called Nextdoor regarding the service we provided for your vehicle. Firstly, I'd like to clarify that the vehicle was brought in by your daughter, and we accurately diagnosed the issue as a battery problem. After discussing the necessary work with her, we provided a quote for the battery, including installation and a charging check. Your daughter subsequently approved the work, and we have both video and audio footage to confirm this approval. We also offered you a 10% AAA member discount on labor, which reflects our commitment to providing value to our customers. While I understand there may have been misunderstandings, I encourage you to verify quotes and services before making judgments. I reached out to three Toyota dealerships using your Vehicle Identification Number to gather accurate pricing for the same battery. According to my findings, the battery part number 2880021172 is priced at $492.21, plus installation and checkout. Notably, the warranty we provide for the battery matches the 3-year warranty from the dealership. Lastly, I would like to mention that we are not part of the AAA battery program, primarily because we believe their batteries are not of high quality after their recent vendor switch. I appreciate your attention to detail, and I hope this information helps clarify any misconceptions. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out directly. We would be happy to furnish you with a signed signature of the invoice if you would like as well. More importantly next time you address a concern, or a complaint please make sure you as a company do your full research on where to send letters see above address is the correct address. At this present time we see no need for any sort of refund to your client who made the complaint, nor will she receive a refund due to the fact she has already taken matters into her own hands on social media. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards
