The service in Rochester, MN store is superb. For watch battery replacements I go to this Batteries Plus store because their service is excellent and the prices are reasonable compared to what other stores charge. You will not be disappointed for shopping at this store.

Unfriendly staff unwilling to help.I used to trust batteries plus and they were always friendly and professional but not these last two experiences. First they said they had no records of a battery that was under warranty until the receipt was found. Then they gave her a difficult time replacing the battery under warranty. Disappointing experiences considering I thought they were pretty awesome at one point. Maybe just a bad batch of employees?

Although the store was closed, I love the fact that I could place an online order AND confirm that my rare watch battery was in stock at my local store. I placed the order online and get a text message just before the 8 am opening that my order was ready for pickup. Done deal by 8:10 after spending more than an hour driving around town on Easter Sunday looking for the rascal in every open store! Thank you!

Went to have a key duplicated for my 2018 Focus. Yes, I walked away with a functional key, but it took 1.5hours from start to finish, and although the worker apologized, it was such a long wait. Also, he completely nicked and scratched the plastic housing on both my existing key and the new one when he had trouble opening them to replace the batteries. I was able to open just fine when I had replaced them at home. I know thats picky, but it bothers me to see all the damage that I know didnt have to be there. In the end, I would have happily just paid the dealer price to avoid all of this. Next time I guess.

Show up at their opening time at 9:00 a.m. in the morning and they were not open. I figure well something happened and the Person who is supposed to open the store is late. I waited around until 915 and no one showed up. I guess this store doesnt really want anybodys business. Pretty sad news for a national chain. I would give them 0 stars but thats not an option.

They changed my watch battery when other stores are refusing to do so. I have a usual go to store for watch batteries but they are claiming that due to COVID-19 they are not currently offering that service. I was able to walk right in and they had everything they needed, no questions asked. They were super nice and almost apologetic about the cost which was comparable to my usual place. Highly recommend going there!

Review №18

I brought in identical, rechargable battery packs and asked for them to build new ones for me. Their first attempt gave me two that did not match. The ones I picked up today dont match either. The reason for the difference was, The original packs were corroded. This is what we built. What else would you expect? Thats a direct quote, folks. I am the fool for prepaying. I wont make that mistake again because I will not be back.

Got a chance to find the battery I was looking for to get my LG v20 phone back and running more efficiently after 2 years with the old battery and I had a great time being educated with all the neat stuff they had inside the store itself! The cashier was amazing and I also got a chance to buy some really great Duracell light bulbs that were on sale at a great price too.. 😉. It was a great time and Ive recommended to about several of my friends so far. Thanks again!

You have every kind of batteries and bulbs in one store, so I dont have to go to other stores to find batteries or bulbs. At some other stores, it is hard to find somebody to help me out. I get help right away at your store and I appreciate that. Thank you.

When my car battery died for the second day in a row on a Sunday, I was in a pickle, as I needed to use the car the next morning. The Firestone dealer I went to did not have the kind of battery I needed, but Justin (kudos!) called around, and found one at Batteries and Bulbs.Lee at Batteries and Bulbs was terrific. Lee got the battery and installed it expertly and with care, spraying anti-corrosion solution on the battery posts before hooking them up. My car was operational again - on a Sunday. Thank you!

Review №46

Very disappointed with my experience with this company. I went to return an item to the store where I bought it, only to find (after getting 3 little ones out of car seats) that they had moved and left a handwritten note on the door with their new location. I went to their new location only to find that they only have a 2 week return policy. The items were unopened, but could not be returned for a refund. I was very disappointed and expected better from this company.

Great customer service!I came in for a new car battery and grabbed a pack of Duracell AAs too when I saw how cheap they were priced. They offered to install the car battery for free as well!

If youre buying something in-store, theyre fine.But if you are not leaving the store with your item day of, prepare for a lot of frustration. Ive had two separate incidents here.1) We paid for a trickle battery charge and were told that we would be called back within the next 48 hours or something along those lines. One week later, we called and asked how it was going. Weve had some issues with it, we will call you back tomorrow. Alright. Another week goes by, still no call, and they still havent recharged it. We go in and pick up the battery uncharged. This should have been our final visit.2) We went in to purchase a key fob and key replacement. Theyre not in stock, itll take a week. Cool, thats no problem, just please remember to call us when they get in. Guess what folks. Two weeks go by, not a peep. We call to ask about the status. Our regular supplier doesnt have them anymore, we are looking for alternatives. No problem, it happens, just please update us when our timeline is adjusted. Today I receive the call, come on in we have your items. Cool. Go in and...its two key fobs. No key, which is considerably more expensive. Short-hair guy asks if Id rather have two key fobs. No man, I want what I paid for weeks ago. I then express my frustration at the repeated issues and even point out that printed on the image with my order, again from weeks ago, is a picture of a key. Its not my job to compare images. ........k. At this time he begins pushing me to get a refund and go pay more at a dealership.3) I got the refund without incident so theres that.When I first found the store, I was stoked. Great selection on batteries and bulbs, I mean its in the name. It became kind of a joke among my group of friends that I was hyping them up so much. I want to like this place. I really really do. But the incompetence is so bad that I cant recommend it anymore. Then, on top of that, to act like these issues arent on them at all...run far away.That said, I briefly met with the van guy from Owatonna and he called, arranged a pickup, apologized once he found out the wrong item was in, and was all around pleasant to deal with. Ty sir.

Made a special trip to bring in a Seiko watch to replace the battery. Staff was unable to open watch to put the battery in. They did recommend a jewelry store that quickly replaced the battery at the same price.If you need a watch battery, save yourself a trip and go directly to the jewelry store.

They all need better training and possibly a better attitude. Went in looking for wraps for 18650 batteries. The first guy was unsure what he was looking for them the second guy told me I had to buy new batteries when the ones I have are perfectly useable. Would not go back the treat their customers like they are idiots.

Left my iPhone 8 to get the screen repaired. It is a gloss black and they repaired it with a matte black and the entire screen is not even glass like the original. The cost was $115 and I wouldn’t have done it knowing that they were going to replace it with a difference front that’s not like the original and a different color/look. On top of that I bought a screen protector from there for $49. What’s a waste! It doesn’t even cover the whole from of the phone. The customer in front of me was complaining that they were going to put the wrong color on her Samsung phone. That’s should’ve been a red flag there.

I am from Naples Fl and was RVing thru Rochester, Mn when my wife decided that the two 12 volt batteries in our 5th wheel needed to be replaced now and not when we got to Ancorage Ak. When we stop earlier for lunch we had some difficulty in getting the dinning side in due to failing batteries. So she has me call this store and the response was amazing. “Yes we have your battery in stock. “Yes we can install it.” “yes we can do it NOW”. Great service, great prices and knowledgeable personal. Don’t waste your time shopping your battery needs just go to this store.

I was very disappointed that the battery I ordered on-line was incorrect. When I picked up my order, the battery they had pulled from stock was different from the picture on my order. The sales person said I cannot trust the picture for the battery shown. They credited my account, but then charged me full price (on-line order saved 10%) for the same battery (order number for the battery was the same on both invoices) I ordered on-line.
