Yes, was quoted $700 also, didn't change and my car is still perfectly fine.

Yes, and was during my car's repeated visit to sort out keyless sensing issues...forced foc... Chip Soon had their prices listed on the wall. For servicing Mercedes parts were used. I like how the jobs get done but check it out yourself...no fancy cafe though but no big deal to me...

need not change at cnc, outside will be cheaper. battery should be renewed after 2 years

my battery was slightly less than 3 years and just went dead one night without any warning

understand that the location of the battery is also a key on how long it can last. Battery located at front bonnet was advised to change every 2 years, this is due to the heat from the engine. if the battery is located away from the engine eg. behind or underneath the seats, it shld last longer.

 

my past ride, battery is located behind the boot, the previous owner use it for 5 yrs, I changed it and it lasted another 3yrs before I kaisi and changed it.
