Pierce v. Larry's Battery Shop

Pierce drives over to Larrys Battery Shop to get a new car battery for his 2002 Ford Taurus. Larrys Battery Shop specializes in selling car batteries for almost any make and model of domestic or foreign car. Larrys Battery Shop also handles the installation of the batteries it sells to customers at an extra charge. Luckily for Pierce, Larry has the correct battery for Pierces car in stock. Pierce signs Larrys contract which simply reads: Customer agrees to purchase new Energizer Car Battery for $100. Within 20 minutes, the battery is installed and Pierce pays $100 ($65 for the battery, plus $35 for the installation). The day after the battery is installed, Pierces car will not start because the Energizer battery is defective. Pierce decided to sue Larry for breach of contract due to the defective battery.

Will the contract dispute be subject to Article 2 of the UCC or to the common law of contracts? Explain why in detail.
