Thanks for the advice, it's a trek for me to Hudson, but it's well worth it to find a dealer I can trust, and it's a beautiful drive over so I have something to look forward to in the spring!
And on a dead battery note...yes, it happened to me too, I had a screw stuck in my tire and took it in to be patched and it must have been a slow night because the minute I drove into the tire place the whole crew came over to take a look at my baby, and as I have learned from this forum, ALWAYS CHECK THE TRUNK!! Which I had done before I took it into the tire place but I think the guys there were pretty curoius about the car and knowing I had checked it previously, I drove it home and didn't think about it until the day before I put it in storage...needless to say, yeah, dead, in fact I have never seen a car so dead...but a few hours on the charger and good as new...and a good lesson learned...
