  The battery is replaced on my car, and the cables fixed. The Subaru dealership also washed that car as soon as it arrived to get rid of the battery acid. I didn't even think that would have been a problem since I didn't see any! But, apparently it was. The front trim of the car under the headlight is missing some specs of paint where the acid splashed out. I can touch that up, though, and in the big scheme of things it's not the worst thing that could have happened :). At least my car is running and it didn't cost too much. Special thanks to urlLink Arlington Auto Mall for turning my car around in about 5 hours with such short notice. I think most of that time was washing it twice and waxing it though ;).
