How do I get the battery replaced on my MacBook Air?

I have a MacBook Air 11 inch computer bought in 2011. I would like to replace the battery in it. Can Apple do that for me? I am willing to pay for the work. I live in Honolulu, HI.

If you're at all handy, it's possible to DIY this. Looking at the MacSales.com website, it appears this is the battery you'd need: MacSales Battery. Cost appears to be $75, and it comes with all the tools, guides, and video on how to do it yourself.


Or you could find an Authorized Mac service provider and ask them how much they'd charge to install the battery for you. (As KiltedTim mentioned, Apple lists this Mac as obsolete, so they won't service them any longer).
