    even though this battery had very few miles, it was 6 years old and likely failed a standard load test. however, if the dealer replaced it without your permission, THAT is a problem. discuss this with the Service Manager and perhaps he will discount the ticket.
    this is just another reason why you should find a local
    Honda specialist and NEVER go back to the dealer.

    Yes overbys is right , no work should be done before checking with the car owner.
