UPDATE: If you have battery, alternator, or starter problems this should be your first stop. Awesome service! Hard to find good honest mechanics these days �\_( )_/� The Tacoma Mobile broke down and not only did they test the battery but also the alternator which was bad. They lend me a spare for the time being so I could move my car that was inconveniently located, and to also bring it in. Now that s friendly service. Fair prices too. Thanks Doug!

Got sent here by the roadside service person who jumped our car. He said our battery wasn't dead but we should get these guys to check it. They have been so quick and efficient I thought it was too good to be true but the other reviews confirm that these guys are great and they get the job done. And while our battery was able to be jumped -- yes, we needed a new one. So glad we were able to make it here before it conked out again.

Really helped us out in a pinch. My husband needed a battery quick and we were able to get in and out in less than 15 minutes, got a refurbished battery for about $77 and don't have to stress any longer. Would recommend their business and would use them again.

This place is great! Really fast service great prices. Dealt with Trevor he help me figure out that my 6 year old battery was dead, got a new one for $79 with a 5 year warranty. They cleaned up my battery compartment at no charge, very happy. Doug is great too and has been here for 38 years. Can't say enough positive things about this store.

The guys at budget battery were amazing! I'm getting ready to go on a road trip and took my car to McCabes in U.P for an inspection. They told me my battery was bad(it's only 4 years old)and wanted $500 to replace it. I instead went to budget battery. Instead of just selling me one, they checked mine first. My battery was fine! It just had some corrosion on it. The guys cleaned it up for me at no charge. They even put coolant in my car because I was a little low! This is good business! They didn't try to get over on me and they were so nice and helpful!! I now will be telling all of my clients and everyone I know to bring their business there! And unfortunately McCabes has lost a customer and a good referral

I recently visited Budget Batteries with an issue concerning my Prius battery. Even though the battery was dead and the hatch was initially inaccessible, the staff member who assisted me was incredibly persistent. He eventually managed to open it, test the battery, and install a new one. I'm very satisfied with the service I received and highly recommend Budget Batteries to anyone in need of battery assistance. I will definitely return in the future!

They were very nice. Charged my battery for about 40 minutes and sent me on my way. Told me to drive it long distance on freeway to keep battery charged. It starts up right away. I am very pleased with how they helped me. Will be back when I need a new battery in a couple of years.

Experienced staff, variety of batteries and quick free installation of batteries. I've been going to several of their stores for over 20 years. This visit was to have four 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries installed in a motorhome.

These guys saved me. I came in with a dead battery and they GAVE me a loaner, to get my car to the shop. Then, as if that wasn't enough, the service my car needed was SUPER cheap.After saving my rear end, they also saved me at least $100!!Can't give these guys enough praise. Whether you're in a tough spot or not, this is the shop you want to go to.Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!

I stopped in a few weeks ago since my mechanic said that my battery needed to be replaced. Two employees greeted me and, after testing my battery, told me it was fine. One of the men even cleaned the connections for me. When I offered to pay him for that he refused and told me that was what they were there for. They are extremely honest and helpful- the reason why we have visited them for our battery needs for over 10 years now.

Doug took such excellent care of us when we came in with broken van full of kids. He was attentive and went above & beyond to take care of us. He was so kind & we are so grateful for the recommendation to come here. If we need any battery services in the future we will absolutely be coming back here. All his workers were kind & helpful as well.

....the guys here are solid..went in because my fairly new battery was drained..they helped me troubleshoot to find out what was causing it..helped me fix sensor on my door and recharged my battery..now it's good as new!. They could have just said "yup your battery is dead" and sold me a new one..not very many places like this around anymore..they have a customer for life now!

I just bought my new battery here and service is great, quick, and doesn't hurt the pocket.Value is top notch. My last battery lasted slightly over three years for me before I decided to replace it. Yeah, it still worked and the price was still exactly the same at $60.I've been to parkland and center st locations.
