Honda Car Forum

Hi , I'm trying to determine if my mechanic is ripping me off !? He says my
car wont start if it's - 10 outside ?! It was -19 degres this morning ( with
the windshield ) and my car start with no problem ! I went and got it tested
at another shop ( Call me paranoid but as soon as they see a woman walk in
they see Dollar bills ! ) It was over 14 volts at all times with the car
running , I even pressed on the brakes to make sure reading was accurate as
well as turned on all my defrosts , radio , and heat . the 2 nd dealer said I
do not need a new battery . I'm confused now !? How can I know for sure if I
need a new battery !? Please help me ! =)

I think your paranoia is well placed. Don't go back to that guy.
