    Re: Good store to buy car battery

    I purchase directly from Interstate Battery. They have a warehouse just a few blocks way from my apartment. Great prices and customer service.

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    If you have a local Auto Parts store not Autoworks or O'Reilly's you can probably get it cheaper there. The bigger store's charge more because they are paying for the whole chain of stores, I remember when I bought a battery for my Volkswagen and Autozone wanted $230.00 for it, because they told me it was for a Volkswagen only then I went to a local parts and they sold me the same battery for $123.00 they said it fit numerous cars.

    With most "normal" car batteries, you're paying for the length of the warranty (time and/or pro-rate). I prefer East Penn made batteries, and get mine at NAPA. If it goes bad early, there are nationwide NAPA stores that will exchange it.

    Re: Good store to buy car battery

    I actually just replaced my 8+yr old battery in my mustang with one from Fleet Farm RoadRunner brand.
    The old battery was still going, but I could tell it was getting weak. It was a Duracell brand from Batteries Plus.
    The new battery has a 24M replacement with 72 month prorated.
    I analyzed, over analyzed batteries and decided I didn't need to get the most or least expensive.
    I also watched Project Farm's battery video, which is what steered me away from the $$$ ones.

    Re: Good store to buy car battery

    8 years? Wow! Around here only 3 years is pretty much the norm. Sometimes less. Having to replace batteries so often drives me crazy.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
