I brought my electric scooter in today with a battery I had purchased from an outside source. The cords on the batteries were two different sizes. Alfred and Jonathan were able to cut the wires and connect them to my new battery. I am very pleased with the service and hospitality I received from these guys. Thank you both so much!

Extremely friendly and helpful. Changed the battery on a large watch that other places couldnt. Will most definitely be returning as their customer service is just fantastic. Great job guys and thank you!

So, Susanna at the Emmet Street location is an angel of customer service. She saw me approaching the shop, met me at the door, and took my old car battery from my hands (not gonna lie-I was struggling). Then she sold me a new battery, at a good price, and got me out of the shop in less than 5 minutes, and she was so friendly the whole time. This is literally the kind of experience that turns a bad day into a good one.

Called and asked if they could program my key fob for me, was told I needed to be there by 6:30 pm because it was a 30 minute process and they closed at 7pm, told them I was running behind(traffic) and would be there a few minutes after 6:30. I’m not one for keeping people after their work schedules ends but not being able to be service because of 10 minutes when it’s already been a messy day anyway was just outrageous to me, not the slightest bit of empathy shown.

I went in to get batteries for two watches and one small clock. Staff were very helpful and installed all three batteries. Convenient location and easy parking. I would definitely return to this merchant.

Went online and found the battery I needed for my motorcycle. By the time I drove to the store it was ready. Tech was happy to check my old battery which I bought in for a core. Definitely bad. Friendly staff and good service. And theyve always had the battery I need in stock.

I have always experienced excellent, friendly service here. They had the car battery I needed in stock, and it was easy to purchase online. The installation at the store was quick and professional. In the past, I had gone there to buy a tractor battery. They tested it, said it was actually OK, and then charged it for free. Great honest service!

I walked in wanting to add a few more deep cycles to my battery generator we use for outdoor church. The associate greeted me as soon as i walked in the door loaded the batteries i needed and rang me up super fast. She tested them and everything in about 5 minutes. When I need hands on help with battery needs I get it here. And when I need to grab a few batteries super quick no hassle I get it here.

I recently had a problem with the SIM card for my IPhone (user error). The folks there fixed it quickly, cheaply and courteously. My experiences at this store have all been positive. This one saved me time, money and aggravation. Highly recommend!

I had the best salesman I have had any where in a long time. I needed batteries for my handicap scooter and could find them no where else but you dont deliver to homes. This man made arrangements to deliver them to a business in town where my neighbor worked so I could get them. The salesman was so kind and polite to me and explained to me how to order them online. the delivery driver went out of his way also to deliver them to this business. Both of them deserve a big raise for being such exceptional employees.

Lets face it batteries are not exciting but they are necessary. This location has an excellent knowledgeable staff. The manager was helping me with some large 6volt batteries. While I was waiting her staff unloaded my battery cores which weighed over 100 pounds each quickly, installed a watch battery, gave a quote about a cell phone repair and answered the phone twice!! I was only waiting 10 minutes, my point is this place is excellent. They have gadgets, flashlights, cell phone repair and of course every type of battery and bulb with the knowledge to back it up. I drove over 2 hours because they had a particular battery in stock and I would not hesitate to do it again!! Great store, Great Service.

Went in there with an fairly bad cracked 7 plus screen. Never had a phone repair before he told me straight up they had what I needed in stock, how long it would be and how much. I came back an hour and my phone looked brand new 😄 everyone was knowledgeable and nice! Will be coming back if I ever need a phone repair again. (Hopefully not tho) 😃

We just left here and the service was phenomenal! We needed a new car battery and needed help putting it in. It was storming, so they couldn’t do it outside and they don’t have a bay. Instead of having us wait out the storm, Ian and Tyler cleared space in the storage space/area where they get their deliveries. They let us pull the car in and they replaced the car battery for us. Thank you, Ian and Tyler! You went above and beyond.

Always so helpful and knowledgeable! Even if they dont have something they will help you find it somewhere else, thats amazing customer service! Most places would just tell you they dont have it and move on to the next customer. Its the little things they do to really help each customer that makes them my go to!!!

Review №54

The counter guys were incredibly nice and helpful--inviting. However, in addition to needing a new battery and screen for my Iphone, there was a question as to whether or not it was charging. They didnt test for that and gave me a battery needing a complete new charge. Fair enough if it was the case that the charging mechanism was working properly. But 90 minutes later that isnt clear. If it is not then my situation is not improved and I may have wasted my money and their time.

Review №55

My phone was damaged after going into the washing machine! It worked for a day or so afterwards and then began having issues. I brought my phone in and Travis at the Emmet Street store looked at it that day, sending a comprehensive report on what had been found after troubleshooting--and *no charge*, as it was determined that it couldnt be fixed. I really appreciated their thorough, friendly and trustworthy customer service along with the fact that I wasnt charged a thing. Thank you!

I dropped my samsung s9 phone on the ground and the screen had cracked. When I walked in the store I was greeted promptly and with a smile. I explained my screen was broken. The said they can replace it in 2 hours and asked if i wanted a new battery also for a discount. Since then the screen works like new and the battery swap was a good idea, the phone lasts much longer. Over all a very pleasant experience. I thought the price was as little on the high side. You get what you pay for. Also beats paying $900 for a new phone. I highly recommend Batterys plus.

I ordered and paid online. The order was ready when I arrived at Batteries Plus Bulbs. When one item was not what I expected, it was easily taken off my bill and the items I thought I had ordered were selected and billed. Its the easiest and best way I know to get these items. The sales people are patient and helpful. Its at least a 5-star experience.

I had great assistance from Alfred, John and Suzanna to replace the coach (living area) batteries on a small motorhome. This required some diagnostics and then research on the best AGM batteries to utilize. The research and install were handled very well by them and much appreciated! We have gone back for an auto battery change out, also efficiently handled!

Put in the order online. The online chat operator checked with the local store. Once I finalized the purchase online the battery was set aside for me. Later that evening I went to the store and I was greeted with a friendly and helpful representative. He had the battery ready and seemed to know what my questions were before I did and answered reassuring me. I was back out of the store in 3 minutes tops. Excellent customer service

Our business made a commercial purchase and we could not have been any happier with the transaction. Alfred was a pleasure to work with and made the sale effortless. He even was making the delivery to our customer himself. Thank you for answering all of my questions and getting us everything we needed! We look forward to working with you again!

I had difficulty finding the correct car battery for my vehicle. Every place I looked trying to sell me one that was too tall and that hit on my hood when I closed it. I called batteries plus and asked them if they would measure their battery for me - they did it gladly and theirs was the proper size. I purchased it on the Internet and went to pick it up immediately. When I arrived it was waiting on the counter and they were ready to install it for me. They were the only place in town that had the right battery, at the right price, and with exceptional customer service. I will definitely be going back to this store.

Batteries Plus Bulbs is more than batteries and light bulbs. They can fix your cell phones cracked screen at a reasonable price with quick turnaround. They do have all types and sizes of batteries. The only downside is the parking - the lot is small and tight.

I went in to have my car key fob battery replaced. They were quick and efficient; changing the battery within 10 minutes at a really good price of ~ $6-7. Of course, I could have bought the tool and changed the battery on my own; but I didnt want to risk breaking the plastic connectors inside the fob, dealing with extra batteries/tool storage afterward and this was far too easy for me to have gone through so much trouble for something so small. For a single key-fob replacement, this was an easy solution, which Im glad I found.

I Purchase car phone charger this week and spoke to a young man named Will. Gave me excellent service and did not try to upsell me on things I did not need. This place I love because they have old fashioned service which is so hard to find nowadays. Would highly recommend. By the way they sell a keychain flashlight it lights up my front yard like the sun in the middle of the night. Fantastic price for 30 bucks it really makes your wife a lot safer especially on a slick driveway with leaves, ice or snow in the winter. Rick B, Charlottesville Virginia

I ordered a car battery online, was told it was ready to pick up; arrived to find they hadnt pulled it yet. Got the battery home (20 mi into the country) went to install it, and found that the vent plug and vent elbow kit had been opened, and the parts removed. Improvised. Nice people at the store, but the experience overall wasnt great.
