Still do the oil/fluid changes, oil does start breaking down after about a year, and you shouldn't run it much longer than that. But the other stuff should be fine.

The Clips are cheap, I think I paid $1... I bought 2-3 cuz I broke a few... it's a PITA.

In fact, if I remember the clip is plastic so it's worth replacing anyhow. I think the key was using a small needle-nose vise-grip on the clip it gave me enough leverage to get the clip to get in.

And 4/32nd's is quite a bit of wear difference, so not too big of a deal.

Since most new tires run about 10-12/32nds... 4/32nds difference minus the 2/32 legal bar area means that you can pretty much have half worn down tires on one axel, and new tires on the other and...

Not too bad, if a battery is completely dead I recommend a slower charge though.

Usually if it's REALLY dead I'll use a 2-4Amp, which usually takes 4-8 hours, but it's easier on the battery.

Some of the new "High Frequency" or "smart" chargers won't charge a really dead...

Walmart/CostCo/AutoZone are all the same Battery (Johnson Controls).

And my local costco quit stocking it also. Sucks because they have a 3 year swap out, 100 month warranty. (Although it is the same battery at all three places... Autozone rips you off at $89 though).

Did they make you sign a written estimate?

If not... They broke the law, and you need to report it.
