The differences for batteries are not nearly as big with quality aftermarket components. Definitely does not justify the $300-$500 or 2-3x price tag you quoted for Lexus. A quality interstate battery from Costco will be just as good and cost $150. Lexus dealers charge $300 for the loaner and free donuts and because they can.

I found this:

Pep boys is selling Bosch AGM batteries @ 25% discount, and offering a $40 Visa Prepaid Card Rebate, comes with 48 month replacement if they go bad.

https://www.pepboys.com/car-batterie...%203.5L%20DOHC

Get a Bosch Size 24 AGM for $146.24 plus tax installed.
And send in $40 rebate to bring it to $106.24 plus tax.

Bosch & Champion batteries have a $20 rebate
Bosch AGM & Champion AGM batteries have a $40 rebate


Rebate: http://img.rewardpromo.com/1/7554/21853.pdf or you can file online.


It's easiest to just submit the rebate online at pepboysrebates.rewardpromo.com/#/home/receipts[rewardpromo.com]
HOWEVER, you usually have to wait until the day after you pick up the battery, because your receipt number won't be in their system until then.
