So, although this place is called«Batteries plus Bulbs»(which is practically all they sell), they DONOT install headlight bulbs for customers, only car batteries… Seriously? Nice way to take customers from AutoZone, who actually installs them for you… Change the name back to Batteries Plus

Needed a battery for my Genuine Roughhouse scooter. Most auto parts stores didn’t even know what I was talking about when I searched for a battery for my scooter at their locations. Went to Batteries Plus Bulbs, and the sales associate immediately knew the type of battery needed, beat the best priceI could find anywhere else and then had it charged and ready for install. Great service. I will be coming back for car batteries etc.

Here’s the deal. I am a little sister so I have spent most of life being punked, pushed around and told what to do. I did not like it as a kid, but at this age, it is no big deal. I am used to it. So when my big brother told me his watch stopped working and he needed to get it fixed before he left town, I drove over picked it up and brought it to my go to place only to learn then did not have a 2430 Sony 3V battery and it would take a week to get it. Lucky for me, the folks suggested calling around for one, so I did. The representative who answered, checked and confirmed it was in stock. I drove over, picked it up and received service with a smile. A1 service in my book. In my brief visit, I also noticed they sold everything from car chargers to windshield wiper replacements and of course, light bulbs. I left thinking I absolutely must spend some perusing the store sometime to see what else is in store. Being a gopher afforded me the opportunity to discover BPB and I am so glad I did.

I live nearby. I went there about five times looking for specific button batteries for my watches or vintage cameras. Every time they were out of stock. They said they will order the battery for me and asked me to come back in two days. When I did, they didn’t have the battery or even a track of my order. The clerk(tall pale guy) is so calm and relaxed like just came back from a meditation class. He doesn’t seem to be worry that his customers leaving with no purchase. When they can’t find common batteries in this store, many items are constantly out of stock(empty shelves in button battery dept), the clerk can’t answer basic questions about their merchandise, the store is unreliable and waste of time. It most likely doesn’t generate any profit. Today my 675 batteries I purchased in Walgreens because Batteries+ currently were out of stock. Next time I’ll go straight to Walgreens. Batteries Plus becoming Radio Shack. Will be out of business pretty soon.

I had the same experience as Mary Ann when my Volkswagen Eos car key stopped working. I was hoping it just needed a new battery. Not only was I also out of there in 5 minutes, but the person who helped me even went online and found me a coupon, so I got a great deal(especially compared to what I would have paid at the dealer). And the key worked fine. Since then, they replaced a couple of watch batteries for me. I had the same experience, quick, friendly and competent service.

Had no idea the test and sell car batteries here. Plus they tested my alternator too. Also spent $ 40 less than if I would have bought down the street. Very great service.

This place is fabulous! I walked in looking for a battery for my Honda CRV car key. I was so worried I would have to go over to Honda for this. NOPE! I was immediately helped by a nice guy. He replaced my battery. Charged me a reasonable price. I was in and out in 5 minutes. I will be back…
