In the last 5 years I ve bought 6 used car batteries here. Every battery I ve bought, has outlived my ownership of each car. Typically I ll take the battery out and come in to swap. This time I realized my battery was about done, and stopped in on my way home with no tools. Julian gave me the price I was quoted over the phone and removed and installed the new battery. depending on your situation, a new battery may be your move (which they also offer). That said inflation has really affected the price of car batteries. You shouldn t be surprised to pay nearly $200+ for a new battery, even at places like Walmart. My 2012 Nissan Maxima, $80 installed out the door with core exchange (swap your old battery for the new one) . Make sure you bring cash! This is the spot every used car owner should know about!

Can't get thru.I am a person who calls a business before I go. I have an odd car and need specifics and do not want to waste my time or theirs, especially with the pandemic.I tried calling a few months ago and again today. No one answers. Iy answer and immediately hangs up on me.I refuse to support a small business who cannot respect their patrons. They are blocks from me and I will drive far or use the chain store 5 blocks away instead of trying to use this small business again.

Good stuff, this store specializes in car batteries and the guy knows what he's doing. The process is great too and the batteries come with warranty. Unbeatable in San Diego as far as I know.

Idk about their customer service but I needed a used car battery. Wanted $70 + $35 to install it. I called up the battery place in El Cajon on Main st and it was $50, free installation.

I was stranded in a dirt parking lot for several days with a dead alternator. And with no running water/toilets etcwithin 2 miles.Stranded because I did not have enough money for a major brands replacement at approximately $180 5 days later a nice guy walked up and recommended this company. At the same time a good friend called and said he would pay for the alternator which I had told him was $180 but I excitedly told him I can get one for $65. He was suspicious But being a former mechanic as well as electronics technician I know that any part can fail. My friend picked it up paid for it delivered it to me the next day. It's a pain on my car and I never had done it before so after YouTube video or two I began with ended up being a 12 hour start to finish job. Covered in dirt from head to toe careful in threes in the nastiest dirty could ever get in your body I fired it up as a sunset and it was all good. I happily drove out grateful and looking for a shower and then it happened the lights on the dash came on I was going 80 miles an hour then everything went black I couldn't see there was no light whatsoever I put it in neutral it's a manual trans and then when everything came back I put it in fifth pushed on to make the exit to my house and not able to see the K rail on the shoulder of the interchange I was passing through nor hardly anything else through the quarter inch layer of dirt on every part of my car. Fortunately after three or four of these episodes I made it to the gas station. After checking everything out and there's not that many connectors to check it's hard to screw up on just a pain to figure out everything that has to be removed and how to do it I hooked up the bolt meter and there was 1320 bolts all good I drove around the block a few times to my friend the following and headed on to a week A job I was a week late for only to make a U-turn 20 feet later and parked the car. He drove me in this motorhome to her I needed to go a great expense for premium gasoline on an old large block V-8. The next day I called San Diego battery because the symptom I have never before heard of or experience the man on the other end of the phone said "no problem will exchange it". Well it was a big problem for me because there I was with my car left 20 miles to the south and looking at repeating this pain in the butt RNR and then what how do I get it further 20 miles to the shop? And will they do something for me like give me an advanced replacement? I don't know but I I had to be in court in the sea short hours and so I decided to see if I could make it 14 miles without any load and set forth well before sunset happy to make it with no events. I spent most of the night cleaning the layer of powder like dirt from every part of my interior and everything in my car doused the body with water so my black on black car wouldn't look like some kind of breaded fish stick ready to fry, and made it to my appointment this morning. I'm on my way now to this company to find out how they're going to handle it lo and behold I'm parked underneath the freeway bridge in the shade fortunately with and alternator that perhaps is not doing either since it crapped out a block or two ago. In retrospect I should've been suspect I should've done more research on this company but I took it at face value from this guy who seem to be helpful and good intentions but just rolled in from another state........ He said he was headed to the store and so I gave him money to get me some supplies I've never seen him sense so I find it ironic and in retrospect wonder how he could've known about this company if he just arrived from Florida I love this post once this is over and perhaps raise the bar or perhaps lower it. Stay tuned

If you need a battery in a pinch this is the place, it's low prices and with warranty. The owner is cool and has a cheerful demeanor.
