Default Slow to start

On a long road trip this past weekend I would pull over for gas and notice that it was starting slow. You know.. like an old car where it gives a delay/turning over sound.. then starts up. At one point it didnt even start the first time. Ever since it's always started but there is some delay.

Spark plugs were replaced a few months ago with no problems.

The car is getting full power from battery.

I'm at 130k. Is this a starter issue possibly?

Thanks.

Will any autozone type of place check voltage for me?

I guess I figured that if I was getting power on my accessoriess/electricity on then my battery is cool. I"ll have it checked.

Yes check it at autozone. It's free to check it and cheap to recharge it if you have too.
