There are a lot of towns without an Auto Zone or a Walmart.

But most of those towns have a GM dealer or an independent repair shop that sells ACDelco batteries.

I live in a town of over 100,000 people. We have 2 Walmarts, a Sam's Club and 2 Auto Zones in a 25 mile radius of the city limits.

We have 6 GM dealerships in that same area and probably 30 - 40 independent repair shops that can sell and warranty an ACDelco battery.

If you are on the road and have a problem, you are more likely to find a GM dealer than a Walmart or Auto Zone, not to mention an independent repair shop that sells and installs ACDelco batteries.

I had independent repair shops in towns of less than 500 people that stocked ACDelco batteries in southern MN and northern IA. No Walmarts within 25 miles for most of those shops.
