Driving down owen K garriott to take my dog to the vet and battery light came on and my car started slowing down and I saw jackson's on the left side of the road so I pulled in their and they hooked my car up to some kind of test that took an hour and gave me a ride to the vet.when I got back to jackson's I was informed tha 5tit was my battery and they had changed it.well went to leave and a while after I was driving battery light came on and I was going to hang out a friends and when I went to leave my friends my car was dead.so I left it parked overnight there and the next day came and jump started it and was able to get it to my house.this was the 4th of July weekend and nothing was open.so Monday I called baker's alternator and they said to get it in.my car would not hold a charge and I had to have it towed.they said it was unusual that a car with this low of mileage to have alternator problems but they did their checks and found it to be that both my pulleys on the alternator to be worn out.it cost me $196.
