I think I remember how to pop a battery out of the car unless there is something different about a Honda Rafaga that I don't know about. Where is Typhoon Motors. I assume they can recharge it right? Test it or whatever they do.

That seems to always happen during TDY's.

That seems to always happen during TDY's. +1 You deserve at least a full point for that one.

That seems to always happen during TDY's. It's always cars with us too. Battery here, Battery and Brakes in SC, Battery and hose thing in GA. The Battery because the kids play with the lights in the car and at some point we forget to check. This time husbands fault though..lol.

Thanks for the reminder, I am going to ask hubby to show me how to jump-start a car, and how to get to Typhoon Motors as well before he leaves. Best of luck to you, I know there is a Typhoon Motors on Foster behind the pool/fields area, as well as one on Camp Hansen.

+1 You deserve at least a full point for that one. I say that because it has happen to me too.

You don't have jumper cables? I do, but the car is parked in our spot and I can't get the other car close enough. I don't mind popping it out and taking it in though. Just need to know if Typhoon will do it and where they are. I'm on Kadena. 

Julie --- 15 years ago -

Is there a place on Kadena. I just always hear to take it to Typhoon Motors 

Julie --- 15 years ago -

Try taking it to the Car Care center next to the gas station on Douglas. They might be able to help you. oh okay, thanks, I didn't realize it was a car care place, just thought it was gas and a shopette.

I dont think there is one on Typhoon Motors, I think only on Marine bases... I could be wrong though but thats the assumption Ive had the whole time Ive been here with hubby. They will recharge it for you, and sometimes they have to replace the water too, and thats a couple bucks, usually it takes overnight for it to recharge. 

Julie --- 15 years ago -

Pick up a jump box while you're there. Good Idea thanks.

Typhoon Motors on Foster: If you enter the base through the SPOT gate, take your first RIGHT, Typhoon Motors will be on your left hand side of that road. Hope that helps!
