Hi my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'll try to help you with this issue, the website may ask if you want a call, but that is up to you, So happy birthday, and I do hope it goes better, And the first thing I would say is to have the battery installed by a shop so you don't loose the memory on the cars computer. If you just pull the battery out and take it to a store when you get back the car may not start unless you have an alternate source of power.
