how much was the gas Like $14 My car gets great mileage. So yeah, I basically didn't make anything But I guess it's better than my battery dying a week from now and me not having made an extra $200 --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

At least you didn't pick me up last night. I was pretty drunk and would have possibly thrown up all your car.

Why is your battery so expensive It's some special type of battery I guess. I took it to Advance Auto to check it and they were able to determine the battery was bad but said they weren't certified to replace that type of battery. It's a freaking Dodge Dart. I tried pricing the battery all over and that price was normal unless I wanted to wait a few days, which I couldn't really do. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

How did you diagnose this problem? Your car battery doesn't die from driving around. The belt for your Alternator that charges the battery could have snapped, but for regular use, it shouldn't be your battery that was the problem.

Auto parts store hooked up their little scanner thing and said the battery was bad. Battery light would've come on if it was the alternator belt(at least that's what happened to an older car of mine). Car is just over three years old and apparently Chrysler put shitty three year batteries in these things because a lot of other people made posts online about theirs going bad around the same time. --- ...

The belt for your Alternator that charges the battery could have snapped, but for regular use, it shouldn't be your battery that was the problem. Batteries generally do just die. They fail slowly, but the difference between holding enough charge to crank the starter and not is incredibly minimal. Likely the alternator suffered a bit recently though. --- "Why do people respond to r4x0r?" -BLACKUboy ... Copied to Clipboard!

Whenever Uber drivers talk about how much they make they never seem to factor in the maintenance costs of the vehicle.

Friday I only made 120 in the same amount of time. Are you actively factoring in maintenance costs though? Like following the old $1 on maintenance for every $1 of fuel rule as a guideline? Seems to me like a lot of drivers almost borrow equity from their car for a bit of short term cash by ubering. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!
