Problem is my car won't start (it's not dead, just almost zero cranking power, even this morning), and rather than pay to get it boosted AND pay for a new battery, you'd think there would be someone offering a service to come out and just replace your battery.

Anyone heard of such a service?

I'm leery of replacing the battery myself, not sure how hard it is in my car and I don't want to wreck any of the electrical stuff.

Not sure why you have to pay for a boost. Just ask a neighbour.
As for replacing the battery, it's a pretty straight forward process.
Hell, if you're at all worried about it, I'm sure there are step by step instructions in your car's manual.

Replacing the battery is the easiest thing you can do to get your car back up and running.

Give it a shot, you'll likely save yourself some money.

Edit: Heck, I'm sure Canadian Tire will install it (probably for free) if you buy a battery from them.
