  • I stopped by and asked where I could find an auto parts store so I could have my battery checked for no charge. One of the guys said that they could check it for me. One of the guys brought out their midtronics mdx-p300 battery tester. He ran a quick test and printed out the receipt with the result "replace battery" printed on it. He said I needed a new battery. I said thanks but I'm not going to do it now and left. I drove on to find an auto parts store where I could price a battery and get an idea of what it should cost for one. I found an "O'reilly Auto Parts" on North Litchfield Road just south of the freeway. They gave a quote for a battery. I pulled out the receipt given to me from the Goodyear guy and told them I'd just had my battery tested down at Goodyear. A manager approached and asked if he could look at the receipt. I said sure. He looked at it, looked out at my car, asked if I'd seen the guy at Goodyear program settings on the handheld tester (I hadn't) and asked if I'd like him to give it a go. I said sure. While testing my battery, the O'reilly manager explained that sometimes people manipulate settings to get a particular negative result. He explained in great detail how it all works and tested my battery a few different times, each time with the same result. My battery is good. (So is my starter. So is my alternator.) Apparently my battery had had a heat related hiccup or something. I thanked him for his honesty and told him I'd be back when I really needed something. No charge. No $200 battery I didn't need. I then called and spoke with the Goodyear grifter who'd tested my battery at this Goodyear location. I told him what I'd learned in the few minutes since I'd left and that I'd like to give him another chance to test my battery while allowing me to watch him input the settings in the tester. I told him I was considering posting a negative review but wanted to be fair and give him a chance to show me what I'd missed. He said "I've already given you a free test." I said "so that's a 'no' to testing it again while I watch you input settings". He said "that's a no". I said "then I'll be posting a negative review because you lied to me" as he hung up on me. I'm not sure what it is about auto that attracts bottom feeders, but ... protect yourself and avoid this Goodyear until they discover integrity. Glad my battery's OK.
