Car battery dies -> Get battery replaced

Battery dies again 3 days later -> Okay, something else is wrong, get it towed to the place I bought it from to take a look at it.
They fix it. I pay $1K. Battery dies 1 month later.

Where did you take it

@deadgerbil Local place that I originally bought it from.
My thinking was that I would have some leverage since they originally sold me it in the first place.

@DDonde I need to take my work truck into Firestone. They seem to be pretty competent with the times I've brought it in previously

@deadgerbil I would be less than polite. Likely alternator/regulator issue... OR something draining battery while "off." Some cars have known issues for this from bad initial design.

I would be expecting ALOT of gratis labor at this point if same shop, tho' prob. less frustration to take elsewhere..
