Yeah, that sounds about right. My alty died on me when I was driving back from Nags Head.. The day before it happened, I thought it was the battery because I was driving and the whole car basically shut down, all the gauges went to zero, and I couldn't accelerate it just constantly was dying, so I purchased a new battery since it was 2am and nothing but a Kmart was open at Kitty Hawk and it was just about the closest place my car would limp to, and had to get back to the house 30minutes away in northern Nags Head. So, the next day driving back from nags head that new battery is constantly being drained, the battery light would come on if I drove below 30 and above 55 mph. So, as I made it all the way back to VA beach before it decided that it was ready to die.. so, to make a long story short.
$70 battery
$140 tow - $20 thanks AAA.. they paid for the first 5 miles...
$200 for the new alt
250 for the labor
$700+...
