[Classic Heartbeat]

Most manufacturers warrantees are good for the amount of time that the manufacturer gives. In this case GM. Yours happened to be 3 years or 36,000 miles and that is all that GM is responcible for. If you have problems with certain components that cary a longer warrantee, like your battery, or tires for example, then you are supposed to take it up with the manufacturer of that particular part. In this case your battery. The same holds true in all sorts of consumer products. Another example is a house. If your house was built with a 40 year roof and it goes bad in 20 years, the contractor that built or sold you the house will not put a new roof on under warrantee. They will tell you to get in touch with the company that manufactures the shingles to have them warrentee it. When your GM dealer (parts manager) sold you a new battery and prorated it, he did it because you were an unsatisfied customer. This way they hope that you will be back for another car, or more parts. Sears does it with their craftsman tool also... They did what they could for you, and you should be happy with it. WES
