First off I must share my extreme disappointment with Holebert's dealership. Wow, I thought I'd seen the worst but ... wow not impressive at all.
Had my 99 boxster in their shop three times for a dead battery. First time they charged it up and told me to drive my car more. They checked all the electricals, the battery, and everything they could think of.
Second time (1 week later) they told me the battery had "sulfated" that is why it lost charge and I had to jump it each morning. They put in a new battery $$$.
Guess what, next morning, car would not start, had to jump it again. Now they say it needs a new alternater. $645 in parts and $350 in labor.
I am taking my car back to Brandywine Porsche .. but I am interested in ideas on what might be the cause of a nightly battery drain.
