Car battery went kaput last night, mechanic recommendations?

Sarah from Hataitai

Good afternoon, Helpful Neighbours! I am in need of a mechanic recommendation to replace a car battery on our 2006 Mazda Premacy. Our car battery died in dramatic fashion last night while I was driving; I barely had time to pull over before the car completely shut down. I was able to temporarily revive it by begging a friend to come out and jump it for me (thankfully I never travel without cables!). The alternator appears to charge the battery, but I'm pretty sure the battery needs to be replaced. Thanks so much for your help!
