How much does it cost to replace a car battery at the dealership?
My car needs a new battery, and it’s only a few years old. My husband says I should go to the dealer. How much does it cost to replace a car battery at the dealership?

Great question. It may cost $250 or more to get a car battery replaced at the dealership.
For very unique vehicles, you may wish to go to the dealership to handle a specialty battery replacement. A major benefit is that dealers use
OEM parts
and not aftermarket parts. However, note that dealers often charge more for battery replacement when compared with an auto parts store or neighborhood mechanic. If you’re hoping that the dealer will cover the cost, well, it’s not guaranteed. Batteries are covered by some warranties but not all. The age and mileage of your vehicle can also affect whether or not it is covered by a warranty.
Finally, your cost will depend on which type of battery you’re buying. AGM batteries are cutting-edge (and more expensive). Lead-acid is the classic battery type (and cheaper).
Call your dealer to ask about this service before booking an appointment—and then call your local repair shop to get a quote.
