Many years ago---in fact it was in 1981 that  I moved from Louisiana to
Durango, Colorado and had a Wal Mart battery fail under warranty.  I called
Wal-Mart in Bentonville, Arkansas and asked them what to do since at that
time there were no Wal-Marts located anywhere near me (hard to believe but
that was way back in time and almost 30 years ago).    To my delight and
surprise they said "we will send you a check for the battery and just
purchase a replacement battery from a local auto parts place."  Wow--they
gave me money based upon my telling them I had a bad battery with no
confirmation from a Wal-Mart store.  I really appreciated their willingness
to stand by their products and when I moved back to an area with Wal-Marts I
have been a great customer of theirs with no bad experiences.
