A-1 Battery Compnay

Just went back to this place for a new battery. I bought a battery from them back in 2012 (2008 Toyota Yaris) although I can't remember how much I paid for it. Drove right up to the garage and a gentleman came right out to greet me. He remembered me and hooked my battery up to the machine to check it out. One minute later my battery was confirmed to be dead and luckily it still under warranty. I paid $60 for the new battery/ installation and was in and out in 10 minutes. I will be coming back every time.

This review is from my sister.I have to tell my story:I went to A-1 battery on Weedpatch Hwy. a year 1/2 ago. I inherited my mother's car and my mother always purchased a "AAA" brand of battery. When the battery died on my me, I went to the place I have been going to for the past 15+ years. I stayed in the lobby, as I always do, and when the technician was done, said all set. I paid $120.00 for a 4 year warranty, brand new battery, or so I thought.As the year went by, I'm independent and check my oil, put in fluids in my car every now and then and looked at the battery to see it's a the same name battery as my mother always purchased. At the time, I thought, well maybe they sell the same battery brand and didn't think about it until I was ready to take my other car in for a new battery. Then it hit me!I checked for all my receipt of when I took Mom's car in and lo and behold, My mother kept that receipt, from 2015, in her glove compartment. The same brand, same numbers, written on this receipt for this Mom's car.So I called them and asked they what brand of batteries they sell and he said Centurion. He also said that's all they have every sold for the past 15 + years. Someone got a new battery, but I didn't. Maybe a wire was loose or he jimmied something, but, I have proof / prior receipts that they didn't install a new battery in my car.As my Mama used to say, "A word to the wise is sufficient" Check you car after you have sat in the lobby waiting and trusting they have done what they say they have done.I just got off the phone with the owner and he was so cruel and cold, no customer service at all. Called me names and said I was full of .....At the end of the conversation he said o.k. bring in your receipts and I'll take a look at it.I don't even want to see what kind of man this is, ever. I am letting the whole thing go.I regret ever giving them my business.

It was Friday morning, right off the get go my service truck barely cranked over fast enough to start. A few mins later I'm about to start my day repairing HVAC equipment for customers all over this town with near 100 degree temperature already, and it's not even 8am yet. Boom, truck won't start after a coffee stop.... Now what.. there's a list of customers expecting me today.. Thankfully I was near A1 Battery. In under 15 mins there is a new heavy duty battery installed in my truck and I'm back in business.. at a great price, after some great customer service.This is definitely my go to place for all my battery needs from here on out... Thanks A1 Battery!
