Good store to buy car battery
Hello,
I know this is a little off topic but I need to buy a battery for my Yukon Denali. I’ve been looking at auto zone, Napa and all the others and pricing is similar. Is there a store that offers a better battery or are they all the same?
Thanks

I get my batteries from a mobile mechanic. Over the years I've seen the same performance. I think he gets the batteries from Auto Zone. They perform better than dealer OE batteries" which disappointed me.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Until recently, I think Johnson Controls manufactured batteries for many retailers. Looks like they sold off their battery division to Clarios. So they may be making the batteries now.

Only thing I would recommend is an AGM battery due to electronics, lift gate, and if you have actuated running boards. You don’t have to buy the highest end ones. A trickle charger does wonders to the life of a battery.

Interstate +1. Even in the AZ heat....these batteries out-last all other batteries. I have this brand in 3 vehicles and my boat which has 1 cranking and 2 house batteries. Easy to find an Interstate dealer too.

Interstate is about the best thing going in automotive batteries imho.

Interstate for me too. My car came with an Interstate battery when I bought it 3yrs. ago and it hasn’t shown any signs of quitting so far. Next time I need a battery I’ll be sure to get the same kind.
Duralast batteries from Autozone are garbage. I used to buy them because of the warranty and I always needed a free replacement within a year.

Interstate @ Costco
They don't prorate the warranty. If it goes bad - new battery.
I don't go much past the warranty. I consider it a maintenance item. Just buy a new one. They recycle them anyhow.
