text: Before we went to the Woodies on Independence now closed we actually tried Woodies Dilworth and they did a pretty decent job changing out a battery Unfortunately they did not fix the problemnnIt is true that we had a problem with our battery but we eventually had to replace the alternator that caused the problem with the battery The people at Woodies uptown were nice about it they just did not fix the problemnnEditnIn response to Steven M Originally we took the car in to McDowell where we had the battery replaced at their suggestion as the alternator is a rather more expensive repair so we were encouraged to hold off on the alternator for the time being Even replacing the battery was not a cheap repair but it would be nice if it fixed the problem Love saving money and allnnUnfortunately it did not help so we went to a closer location Independence now closed to have it looked at under warranty where we were charged another fee to analyze the electrical system Despite nothing beyond this fee and no apparent problems cropping up during this inspection this did not help eithernnSo we actually had the alternator replaced in approximately one year after the initial visit at the Tryon Street location for you guessed it another rather large fee Still did not help We eventually sold the carnnTo their credit this particular car gave fits to at least one other mechanic and a Nissan dealer So it may be the car more than Woodies but the problem was one that was not resolved in the first second or third visit and we kept getting charged the whole way But to say that we ignored the advice is misleading at best
