Attn: Car experts or anyone who works at an auto parts store
I am trying to buy a battery for my 06 Hyundai Elantra. NO ONE stocks them. I wanted to avoid going to the dealer and paying billions of dollars for one. Does anyone know why they aren't stocked, or why they are so hard to find?

I don't know much about Hyndai's but I seriously doubt they use some sort of special battery. Did you try Sears?

I tried WalMart and NAPA. NAPA had one in a different location, but it was a ways away. WalMart needed to order special. I didn't try Sears. If nothing else, I'll get the one at NAPA. Or maybe Fleet Farm...

grr
that said, I go there anyway, because they always have what I need.
Re: Attn: Car experts or anyone who works at an auto parts store
The nearest to me is 35 miles, but I have a great AutoParts store 12 miles away, Their warehouse is just across the street, so everything is almost always available. Not always the cheapest, but easiest to get odd parts quickly.glg wrote: Don't know if you guys get the same ones, but their radio commercials are super annoying.
