Wow, I totally forgot about the abomination CVT. Well, that's a hard pill to swallow.

I just got done helping them install the new battery, the engine has a misfire but that's the least of their worries.
After I was done they asked how much do they owe me, I told them nothing at all and not to worry about it.

Looking back I probably helped them avoid the parts shotgun, even with the new battery it wouldn't of started due to the corrosion. They where oblivious to it. I cleaned the insides of the terminals.
