I have a mid-2012 cMBP 13, and guess the battery is dying I believe (470 cycles with 65% capacity, last only 1.5 - 2 hours for normal usage - no heavy stuff).

Did anyone replace a battery at any of the local apple reseller store, would like to know how much it will cost?

So far there is no issue regarding MBP lasts for 4 hours as long as you don't use apps that uses up resources...
Sorry, I couldn't remember whats the name of the shop, but I remember it is at 3rd floor (need to climb 2 floors up to reach ATM on the top floor)

Not really...
The shop keeper said it is not original, but I saw there is an Apple logo on the battery.
