Where to buy an optima battery locally?

[Motley 10+ year member]

I went to checker/autozone and they don't seem to carry optima batteries. Where else can I buy one, besides online (I don't want to pay shipping).

I'm in Denver, CO btw...

go check their website and use dealer locator. if there is advance auto parts there, they should carry it.

try going back to autozone and ask them if they could order it. i know my local autozone sells them.

go to costco, they have em there. and for battery size, optima won't show what will actually fit. it said it didn't have a battery for my car also, but a D34 fit just fine.

it depends on the size of the battery..

It doesnt show up cuz technically that car is a group 35 battery and Optima doesnt come in group 35.

I got my yellowtop from a friend for $50 but I suggest the nice people that post classified.. Most will be in great condition for cheaper than a brand new one

So which battery should I search for at Costco? It has to fit in my battery tray with the right terminals...

Yellowtop mine has side and top posts.. what you got against paying for shipping? most sellers have a shipped price posted

Group 34 Optima should fit no problem.
