"European Performance" shop in Delaware?

anyone have experience with their work? It's located in Wilmington, which is close to where I live, looking to get a new battery replaced. I've called two dealers and 2 other Indy shops, here's what I've gotten:

Union Park BMW: $575 for battery, install and registration
Otto BMW: $536
Bimmerworks (PA): $50 registration, $140 installation
M-Tech shop: $300 for battery, install and registration
European Performance: $166 battery, $50 installation + registration

So Euro Perf by far is the cheapest quote I've gotten, just wondering if anyone here has any experience. I'm comfortable doing it myself, but still need to get it registered, figured $50 for installation and registration is a good deal.

Thanks in advance

There's no science to changing out a battery. Buy a Bosch battery from pepboys and hold on to the receipt in case you need it for a warranty. I believe is 3 years full coverage and 5 or 6 years pro-rated. Then install it yourself.

Yea I agree, I rather do the battery myself, but from reading the varies posts here regarding the battery, I need to have it registered. I don't have access to a BT tool, so that's why I've been calling the shops for prices. dealerships are such a joke, I can see why most people just lease their bimmers

Thanks
