Default Mobile mechanic?
Can someone suggest a mobile mechanic?

Simple work. Just change out a battery.

Thanks.

In what car?
CAA will test your battery, and replace if needed.
But really, 5-10 minute job. Not even long enough to finish your beer.

In the 1965 corvette.

Filled it with water, charger switching on and off. There's too much crap in there for me to try. I'm a spaz.

Does it have AC? If so you should relocate the battery once it's extracted. If no AC you still need to be careful with the heater core lines. A quick search revealed that they can break easily.

Doesn't sound like an easy battery to swap out.

Good luck

Ha. I asked Burlington to send someone up here. No chance, they're off my xmas card list.

I'm not a CAA member.

Check your email.

Try them, no personally experience with them and not affiliated but I have come across them. They seems to have good reviews
