Shout-out to Eric! I called because I needed a new battery for my car, and he confirmed it was in stock and gave me the price over the phone. When I arrived, he tested the new battery, helped me swap out the old one, and had me back on the road in no time. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend this place for its quick service, professionalism, and ability to make everything as simple as possible. Thank you, Eric! read more

A week ago, I went to get the battery replaced in my wife's watch. The person who helped me didn't want to do the job; they barely looked at the watch and told me they didn't have the screwdriver--nothing special. I don't know if they just didn't want to do it, or perhaps because there were people ahead of me in line and they didn't feel like doing their job. Not good for this company read more

Batteries Plus - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Great father son owned store, easy to access off95 in Springfield. Called ahead to check stock and the son knew the exact model number and located it in the store immediately. The father was there when I picked it up and double checked that I was indeed using it as a sump pump battery. Very nice and knowledgeable fellows. Took a break from in stalling a customer battery to ring me up quickly. Was referred to this exact location by Watchdog the manufacturer of my house sump pump backup. This store had my battery in stock where the other Batteries+ locations nearby did not. read more

Needed a new motorcycle battery. Just good luck they are local. Called and it was ready on the counter when I arrived with the old one. Price was good, service was good, got me back on the road in an hour. Good resource to have close by when you need them and friendly, competent team. read more

Highly recommend for car battery replacement if you live in the Alexandria/Arlington (Virginia) area. Excellent and friendly service by Josh. It took about 20 minutes total to replace the battery, including check-in and check-out inside the store. Price of the battery was excellent - saved just over $100 from what the dealership quoted me, and a lower price than the brand name auto parts retailers. Save yourself the hassle of going anywhere else. Pro-tip: purchase the battery and set up an appointment time online to ensure the battery is in stock and to avoid any walk-in wait times. read more

Advertised 18% and got text code way after ordering. When I got to store mobile website was not working on my phone or wifes phone after already canceling original order. Lost website price and 18% discount. Had to ask Laurel Md store for a three-point check as advertised on there website. Was told that tec had already started work on the vehicle and therefore could NOT do a check, but after arguing, they did a ckeck. Batteries Plus NEVER again. read more

I went to Batteries Plus to receive a new car key for my Subaru. I purchased one key and waited over an hour only for the representative to tell me they couldn't figure it out. I purchased a second key from them (this one $100 more) and went back the next week, only for the exact same thing to happen - both times waiting an hour, both times not getting what I paid for. I took the key to a locksmith in DC and the locksmith said the key was faulty. Not only this, but the key was chipped from their multiple unsuccessful attempts to program my key. Spend your money elsewhere and don't waste your time. read more

We went to the Batteries & Bulbs store at 4450 FL-7, Coconut Creek, FL 33073 on November 1, 2024. When we got there, we were greeted by a completely rude and arrogant attendant. It's definitely not our fault that she didn't study enough and didn't have a better opportunity in life and became an attendant. We just asked her for details about the product because she works there. If she doesn't like her job, then don't work there. Acting like a monkey is not recommended for the company. She couldn't even be a prostitute, because a prostitute has to be polite and attractive. We came a very long way to get to this store. We wanted information about a product, but we were going to buy 1,200 units. It seems like you don't care, but just out of curiosity, how do you allow someone to work like that? What is the advantage of having an attendant like this? read more

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE...that has a warranty anyway. We recently purchased a home with a brand new sup pump battery. The previous homeowners assured us there was a warranty on the battery. The battery was faulty so we took it in to exchange it. Even though there was a warranty on the battery *apparently* it's only valid for the person who purchased the item (battery.) I went back and forth with customer service saying, "what if I bought a battery for my grandmother?", "what if the original purchaser dies?" All valid questions. They couldn't truly answer any of them. Point of the story, they have a shitty warranty policy for their products, which seem to also be shitty since my battery was faulty after less than a year. read more

BatteriesPlus, if you're reading this review, please update the Bradlee's location to indicate that it is now closed and that it has moved to Richmond Highway across from the Target in Potomac Yards. I went there today to get a new battery for a car key and was surprised to see that it was closed as I've been there fairly recently. read more

Quick and friendly customer service led to a great overall experience. My go to spot for phone repairs.

I would stay away from the store. I was just in there to buy a few little batteries and ended up having to leave with nothing. There was a huge line waiting at the register and the clerk just talked on the phone for 20 minutes and showed no sign of serving anybody. read more

Terrible experience! Never again! I bought the battery, but as it turned out they didn't have it. They told me that they could place it in order and I need to wait a week. After more than a week I called them back to ask about my order status, but they didn't even place that order. Great job read more

The salesperson a black male was super helpful and knowledgeable. He replaced the battery in my FOB so quickly and the batteries were reasonably priced. read more

Came here to fix my spare iphone6 screen that had glass & LED damage. I actually had to come back 4 TIMES because the technician Jon, assist manager, and Matt messed up multiple times with my front facing camera and nicked the cable to my home button. However, despite their mistakes and inconvenience their costumer service was simply top notch. That's what's all about for small businesses and I'm thankful that they were able to get the job done effectively. Make sure to use the online coupons for a discount on the phone repair! read more

Helped me test my batteries, and when we replaced the dead battery with a good one and the device still didn't work, let me return it right then and there without hassle. read more

I came here to get the remote batteries for my key less entry changed. They ran out of the ones I needed but the guy told me if I brought him some batteries he would replace them for me. I would do it myself but I don't have a screw driver that small and I am too cheap to buy one. read more

This is one of those shops you don't plan on going to, but it's pleasant enough because 1) the team members there are competent, helpful, swift, and customer focused. Too, you can find every imaginable and unimaginable type of bulb and battery here, which is whole lot easier than going to some big box store. I visited recently with a shattered iPhone 6+ screen. After 2 hours at the Apple Store ($300 to fix!) and my Verizon insurance coverage ($199 plus waiting 1-2 days for a shipment of a refurbished phone), Batteries Plus won the price and convenience showdown. They charged $179 (not cheap, but still the low price leader), and we're done in 45 min. I noticed the home button was sticking after the repair, and they quickly fixed it, no complaints. Give them a try! read more

5-stars, 10-stars, 1 million stars. These folks are fantastic! My best friend told me so. My trainer told me so. Now I know it. For years I've struggled with replacing the batteries in my heart rate monitor and sensor. I know the pain of trying to get those little discs out only to find that 3 of the 4 in the pack you bought are dead. So when they died this time, I said no more. I popped in 20 minutes before my workout with my trainer and made it to my appt. in time. They replaced both batteries - even checking to make sure that the replacements were good - and sent me on my way. I was happy to see that the technical tools I used - a nickel and a micro screwdriver - were the same ones utilized here. But so much nicer having someone else do it in a fraction of the time and deal with the frustration of dead "new" batteries. Money well spent! read more

Took my phone in (yes they do phone repairs) and the guy was so polite. I live in DC so I forget what nice people are sometimes. Anyways the dude is really friendly, fantastic service. I got rice stuck in my headphone jack and charger port and he took it out no problem, didn't even charge me for it! If I did pay, it would have been very inexpensive. They're great. Highly recommend read more

About 5 weeks ago I purchased a battery for my motorcycle from a different store which is quite far. The original screws did not fit. So I went to the Alexandria store near me to see if I could get screws that would fit. All 3 guys in there set everything aside trying to help me. Well they couldn't find screws. They have a 2 week return policy. But they took the battery back and gave me a full refund and sold me a different one that worked out great. Best service I've seen read more

Why pay the alarm company 2x the price and an installation fee for your backup battery? Batteries Plus Bulbs will most likely have it. If you feel unsure installing it, take a picture prior to disconnecting it. It is easy. I purchased my second alarm battery from them. Why go elsewhere? read more

Don't go to this store for any reason. They are inept at best. I asked them to fix my charger port, they said it would take about an hour and half. Then they said they needed 2 more hours. After that point, they said the phone broke. Upon further questioning, the technician said he broke the phone. "Let me get my manager." There was about 20 minutes of scrambling and then they said they were going to find a part from another phone. That took about 2 more hours. I sat there waiting for some explanation, something. After the next promised time came and went, my frustration blew over and I asked for my phone back. They put it back together with the home key busted and without a working charger port. Hey, how about a refund for wasting my entire afternoon? Also, it's clear if you don't have the coupon for the discount on the repair, they will not tell you about - which sounds predatory to me. And they want your email, but say "we don't share info, we are just a franchise," which makes no sense if you think about it. I learned all this because I sat there for 2 hours (!) waiting for my phone to be repaired. Terrible! Get it? Don't go there. I mean it, they will break your phone. Don't go there. read more

Great service and vibe. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Awesome little store! This is the spot for all things battery related & more. Highly recommend. read more

I have generally had good experiences there but I would caution anyone about having a watch battery replaced at this store. Do yourself a favor and go to a jewelry store. read more

Great service today - needed to replace a watch battery in my daughter's watch and my watch, as well as get a bulb. Had everything I needed in less than 10 minutes, and at a reasonable price! Thank you! read more

Have been here twice for cracked iPhone screens. I'm embarrassed to say I'm not sure what the black guys name is that worked there- but he was cool. Nice and helpful. The guy who fixed my phone Jeremy was super cool and helpful as well. They replaced my screen yesterday but my screen kept going gray. I called him and he told me it could be a defective screen and to bring it back and he would fix it. He fixed it under an hour and did it with a smile emphasizing their warranty. I've had some really bad customer service lately so I was worried that coming back to them with my phone not working right they were going to be nasty about it and blame it on me. Not at all. They were both nice and accommodating. I would recommend anyone to go there with their cracked phone screens. Thank you so much for making me feel like a valued customer. read more

Dropped off an iPhone 10 for a screen repair and got it back the same day. The customer service was great. Josh and Mason were very knowledgeable and informative in terms of how long the repair would take. Will definitely come back in the future. read more

To sum up this long review: Batteries Plus, broke my perfectly working watch and lied to me several times. They were also very disrespectful. When we lived in Fairfax, my wife and I would take our watches, and other appliances to the Batteries Plus in Fairfax. It was convenient, the service was good and it wasn't expensive. We moved to Arlington recently and sought out the closest Batteries Plus: this one in Alexandria. I have used Timex Ironman watches for decades. They last a long time and have the types of timers that I use for exercise and other activities. My newest Ironman was showing signs of a dying battery. When switching modes, the display would fade a little bit. I decided to get a new battery now, rather than wait until the old one completely died. The day before I took it to Battery Plus, I had a workout at the gym in which I used the interval timer and the standard watch functions. The watch was working perfectly. The next day at BatteriesPlus, a young man took the watch and proceeded to open it up and change the battery. Later, from the manager, I learned that he was a new part-time employee. He did not check whether the watch was working before working on it. After working on it for quite awhile, it was deemed finished and given back to me. Before paying, I pushed a few buttons to make sure everything was functioning properly. The buttons for changing modes and setting times would not depress anymore and would not work. The young man took the watch back and went to work on it again. We stood around waiting for quite awhile. He told us that there would be another employee showing up at noon who was better with Timex's. We could go home and they would call us after he got to work on it. So, we went home. Early in the afternoon, Batteries Plus called. Another young man on the phone said, your watch is working now, you can come and pick it up. I drove all the way back to the store. But, when I tried the watch, it was exactly as before. The buttons would not depress nor work. At this point, another young man began working on it. He also told me that the watch had been broken when I brought it in. This was the first of many times that the employees of Battery Plus told me this lie. Again, I waited in vain. After awhile, this employee gave up too. He said that there would be yet another man who was more knowledgeable who would be in the store the next day. I ask what they would do if they couldn't fix this watch that had been functioning perfectly before they broke it. He said something about the store having insurance for such things. I made sure they still had my contact information and left. The next day came and went. No call from Battery Plus. Early the next day, Monday, I called and asked to speak with the manager. When I started describing the situation to the manager, the first thing he said is "That's not what I heard..." He told me that the story in the store is that I brought them a broken watch. I told the manager that the watch had been working perfectly and everything else that had happened. The manager said that they would send the watch to a main office where it would be looked at and determined if insurance would be used to reimburse me. He said it would take a couple of weeks. Since I wasn't expecting to hear anything for awhile, I was surprised when the store called me the very next day. It was the second young man who had worked on my watch. "We have fixed your watch. You can come pick it up. Your watch was missing two springs. It was that way when you brought it in. But we went and fixed it anyway." I was angry that, once again, I was being accused of giving them a broken watch, but I kept that to myself and agreed to come pick up and pay for the watch. At the store later, again the young man started telling me how the watch was broken when they got it. I asked him how he could have known that since he wasn't even at the store when the first young man started messing with it. Of course, he didn't have anything to say to that. I checked the watch out before paying. The buttons seemed a bit stiffer than before, but they worked. So, I paid and took my watch home. Too bad I didn't actually test out the time function all the way. It wasn't until I was at the gym two days later that I found out that, now, the beeps for the timers and alarms no longer sound. I considered that, perhaps, they had been turned off and I could find out how to turn them back on by downloading a new manual. I downloaded the watch manual from the Timex website, but there is no way to turn off the alarm beep for the timer functions. (There is a way to turn an hourly chime on and off, but that is something different.) I did further internet searches, but was unable to fix the watch. At this point, I'm just going to order a new watch. BatteriesPlus has lost this customer. read more

I had a pretty horrible experience with this store, which I'd like to pass on to others. Nearly two months ago, I brought in my Polar sports watch, and asked for replacement battery. The watch was a gift and had sentimental value as well as intrinsic value ($380 when new). The watch worked perfectly but needed a new battery. I paid for a new battery, which the guy behind the counter agreed to install. When I went back to pick it up a few hours later, the same person said that they broke the watch but would replace it with a new watch of comparable value. I left my phone number and waited for a call. Days went by. Weeks went by. They never called. I returned to the store and got the runaround ("it's on the way"). Thus, this Battery Store destroyed my watch and kept it. They also kept the new battery I'd purchased from them, and they lied about about compensating me for my losses. I have found the personnel at this store to be arrogant and dishonest. If they don't have the wherewithal to install a battery in a watch, they should not try to do it. Worse, they should keep the commitments that store personnel make to customers. I am out my sport watch, my cost in purchasing a battery from them and anything approaching an apology from the Alexandria King Street Battery Store. read more

Went to buy a 6 volt lantern battery... Picked inexpensive generic and at the register the price was $7 instead of the $4 posted. Complained; was told that they need to update prices. Thought, oh well, I'll spend the extra buck and buy the name brand alkaline instead as is was only $1 more ($8) At the register it rang up at $11. After complaining that posted price was wrong again, received same story but no offer to make good or compromise. Left the store without buying anything. I can easily understand prices being outdated and would not have minded (too much) prices off by 5% or 10% but by 30%+ on multiple products? Really? And no attempt to work with the customer? I won't be shopping at this store again. read more

Update * No change in rating, but I have received several voicemails from store 449 after posting my review. Although we have not spoken directly and I have no plans in doing so, I accept the stores apology. read more

JP was knowledgeable and friendly. The store stocked the battery (prepped and charged) I needed for my Vespa GTS Super. I was back on the road in minutes. read more

I walked into Batteries Plus for the first time with a picture on my phone of a couple lightbulbs I needed replaced. As I scrolled my phone searching for the photo, I heard one of the employees say "I'll go and help her while you finish him up". I didn't really think that the employee would come over to me within 15 seconds of walking in and ask me how he could help. He was attentive with finding the bulbs I needed, friendly, and offered some additional tips on energy savings. I appreciated the excellent customer service and will return for sure. read more

Went in because Verizon advised me to get a new phone, though, I thought it might be a battery issue. It was. And 15 minutes later I had a new battery installed and my phone was working fine. The guy who assisted me was friendly and helpful, and encouraged me to return if things don't work out with the new battery. read more

Good selection of batteries, chargers and bulbs. The younger rocker guy that works behind the counter is very knowledgeable. They're slammed late in the day so I'd recommend going in earlier. They also repair iPhones, screens/backs/audio problems. Receiver/speaker problems run around $45 bucks, back replacement is $30, and a screen replacement is $120. He broke down the screen and labor costs. Not bad, but I'd just have the phone replaced by insurance for $150. read more

Please do not get your phone fix here!!. I brought in my Samsung phone for a battery replacement and left with a damage phone. Save your money and the headache. When i was driving home, i notice the right side of the phone's screen and sensor were separated. I immediately called about the damage and the person over the phone said "just come in we'll fix it". Luckily I was only 2 mim away so I thought; when i got there the manager and the repair guy mysteriously left for the day. I'm a regular person who wanted a battery replace for my phone. I dont want to write a bad review, but what I experience is frightening and it would be immoral for me not to warn ppl. read more

This place was great, and I honestly never would have found it without a recommendation. I needed a new charger for my old camera, and I was having trouble finding one until someone recommended batteries plus. I never would have guessed they could help. Turns out they have a set of semi-universal chargers in stock, and were able to find something for me quickly. They helped me find what I needed from looking at the camera with me, then opened it up, so that I could test it out before buying. Definitely would go again. read more

Worst customer service ever. I walked into the store and asked the employee on duty if he could help me determine what kind of battery I needed for my car key Fob. He flat out told me "no, we don't do that". I said that's funny because every other time I've come into this very store the other guys have always looked it up for me and told me what I need. This person said "we don't do that. We can install it for you". I told him I don't need you to install it, I need you to tell me what kind of battery I need. I said "you're telling me you can't look it up using that computer right there" and he flat out said "no". So I told him that I was leaving his store, and going to buy the batteries from another store because he wasn't very helpful. If you're in the battery selling business - you should put in the extra effort to help your customers determine what kind of batteries they need. Might be a good idea if you don't want to lose business. Just a tip: Good Customer Service is the key to staying in business. I will never go to this store again. read more

Sadly this is the lowest rating available. I got a car battery from them 2 months ago. $300 for a battery that didn't work or last. They won't do anything to make this right. Never purchasing from them again. Do yourself a favor and shop with someone that stands behind what they sell. Batteries Plus clearly is not such a place. read more
