Default New scam?

"Jack" wrote in message
Oil change places used to come out and show you that your power steering
fluid is dirty and you need to replace it. (scam)

A new one MIGHT be the "replace battery" scam? They show you your
battery measures: volts = 12.57V Measure CCA = 388 and Rating CCA = 600
(CCA is cold cranking amps)

I know the 12.57 is OK. Can anyone tell me if 388/600 calls for a new
battery?


Does your battery start your car?

If it works, don't fix it!

If your battery gets to the point where it will not start your car, THEN do
some troubleshooting to find the problem which might be something other than
the battery.
