Can't say enough about Peter! He was incredibly patient and helpful with me today as I encountered an odd battery issue with my car. He did his very best to tackle the issue. I ended up having to take my car to the dealership, but I am grateful for the attention, wisdom and kindness that Peter extended to me. I have in the past purchased key fob batteries and watch batteries here - and that is always easy and fast! read more

Any type of the batteries-it's your place to go. Old watches laying around and needs just a battery - check, my boss's old flip phone (don't go to Verizon store) - check. The employees are very knowledgeable and pleasant. My next stop will be for a battery on my Toyota fob- another check. read more

I am a big fan of great customer service. Peter is very personable and is ultra helpful. I ran into a slight challenge with my watch. Peter came to the rescue and finally helped me solve the problem. But I noticed while waiting in a short line he treated EVERYONE the same way. This guy and his team work hard to deliver excellent service. He and his team are the essence of "plus" in Batteries Plus Bulbs. Nice job Peter, you have my business and my recommendation! read more

Peter at Batteries Plus had quality batteries in stock at a competitive price. He installed the battery which saved me time and a return trip to the store. He delivers batteries to Camp Pendleton, and as a veteran, this means they have passed government inspection...a good sign. read more

I want to start my review by saying we will never be going back to this store. We went by twice this week in the afternoons, both times when it had the sign outside on the sidewalk that said they're open, and a sign taped to the door that said "opens at 9am" but the doors were locked. So we went by today a little after 1:30pm and the store was open. The man who assisted us almost seemed put out that he had to come out of the back room to help and there were no other customers in the store. Zero customer service skills and very short sharp answers. He replaced the battery in our key fob, and since we had tried previously to open the fob at home and couldn't get it done, we asked him how he opened it. All he said was "its on You Tube" There were NO other customers in the store and he can't take a second to show us? He certainly doesn't give off a welcoming feeling nor appear to care about whether customers leave happy or not, as well as the mystery hours of operation. So we will not be giving any more money to this business and will go to businesses that appreciate their patrons. read more

The manager, Jay, is very knowledgeable and helpful with answering my questions. He is patient and makes sure I understand what I am doing. I highly recommend this Batteries Plus Bulbs store for your batteries and light bulbs. As a consumer, it is refreshing to have excellent customer service. Jay treats this business as if it were his own. As a business owner myself, that means everything. Thank you for your service! read more

I don't Yelp many reviews but I had to give some credit here to Andrew. I walked in 7/2/24 and needed a new battery for my watch. Not only was it the best price around I was in an out in 15 minutes. He even set the time right. I now know where to go when I need new batteries and impeccable customer service. Thank you guy's. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! Terrible diagnostics and worse customer service! I returned a battery I purchased for my Toyota months previously because it wouldn't hold a charge. Batteries Plus kept the battery overnight to charge and test it. They told me the battery was fine. They also tested everything with the battery re-installed and stated the battery was fine so something must be wrong with my Toyota. I took my Toyota to a mechanic and paid $90 to learn my car is fine but a cell in the battery was bad. I took it back to Batteries Plus and a different guy tested it and confirmed the battery was bad. I asked what would be done to compensate me for the $90 I needlessly spent because Batteries Plus misdiagnosed my battery. While I figured they wouldn't reimburse me even though it was their mistake, I expected them to at least say they were sorry and maybe a minimal gesture such as a partial refund/discount on my original purchase or an upgrade on the replacement. I received nothing except a snarky attitude from the old guy helping me and his insistence that the "notes" in his computer says it tested fine. Clearly the original diagnostic was wrong because the same battery subsequently tested bad twice. He also stated he was doing me a favor by replacing the battery. I reminded him that that's what a warranty is all about and he shouldn't suggest I was getting anything special. He brought out a replacement battery that clearly looked as if it had already been in a car or sitting on a back shelf for years. It was dirty and the labels looked old and didn't match my battery. There were no post caps on it and no plastic bag containing the battery exhaust tube adapter that were attached to other batteries on the shelves. When I questioned this he grabbed another battery off the shelf that looked identical to the one I was returning. Initially I thought he was giving me that new battery but then realized he was only taking the tube adapter from it and still planned to give me the dirty, old-looking battery. When I insisted on the new battery, he made a few more snarky comments as he reluctantly gave it to me. I've purchased a number of batteries here, including for golf carts but NEVER AGAIN. There are a lot of places who sell batteries. read more

YALL CAME IN CLUTCH!!!! I couldn't make it before they closed last nite but they answered the phone after hours, confirmed they had what I needed and when I showed up 40 mins before opening today, the Awesome Person there greeted me with a smile, got me my batteries and outta there in 5 mins flat! (Context: I'm leaving on a boat trip at 9am, just bought a new camera last nite. Needed a specific battery.) Thank you!! read more

Batteries Plus - 1.5v 357 goin in a Pentax and Nikon fm2. - Battery Stores Near Me - Vista, California

I am almost 2 months late on this review but I will NEVER forget how this place completely helped me out on May 4th, 2022! I was at a job about an hour away from my house and my battery died. Apparently my car has a very odd battery set up and even with the manual, none of us could fogure out how to jump start it. I called my insurance for road side, call kept dropping, no help. So I did what every adult woman does when they are desperate and called my mom, who called this location and asked if they happened to have my battery in stock, and also asked if they ever deliver batteries, they said they had the battery and even though delivery is not a usual thing they do, they would be willing to help out. Let me tell you, this was the worst possible time I could have had car trouble, we were set to take a flight across country the next day, and I had all my dad's things in my car to help him move that evening as well. I'm so sad I forgot the young man's name who helped me, replaced my battery, even helped me load and reload my dad's things in my trunk, since, surprise, the battery is in the back of the car. You know who you are and thank you so so much again!! read more

I have the life-time warranty on my Lexus ignition key FOBs and the reminder I set in Google Calendar went off. I went in and said "it's been a year" and the guy took my FOBs to the back and came back with new batteries in them. It was great, in and out in just a few minutes. read more

While they did have the watch battery, we could have gone without the attitude. Gentleman I spoke with on the phone prior to visit was very pleasant. Young lady that helped me while there seems to have a chip on her shoulder, "Why are you in the store" attitude. Will not be going back! read more

love this place. Everyone is always helpful and nice. Bought watch battery they installed for free. Car alarm same thing. Great service

We've been buying batteries for 3 cars here for eleven years. I recently had an issue with a battery still under warranty. I thought it was a bad battery, in fact my car service tech tested it and it failed. I went in to Battery Plus on Hacienda with my receipt and a gentleman came out and tested my battery with an instrument, getting satisfactory readings. The owner was there and came over to talk. He joined his employee in troubleshooting the issue, bringing out a bigger instrument for measuring current. I was very impressed by how much time and care was taken to make sure my car was safe to drive on my trip. A new battery was put in my car and it was suggested I might have a bad alternator, so we'd give it a two week test, with the owner putting my bad battery in his own car to drive and check out. I'm going to get my alternator checked and if that's the problem I'll take back the replacement battery. I can't tell you how comforting and pleasant it was to deal with a store that has such superb customer service. I was treated with respect by men with integrity, who were solution-centric. It was almost like the 60's again. I truly appreciate it guys and that's why I'll continue coming to you for all my battery needs! read more

My dog, Joey, wears a little electronic collar that allows him to go in and out of the house by opening his dog door with an electronic signal. The collar is small and it's not easy getting the little battery in and out. I always go to this Batteries Plus store because they take as much care and give as much attention to a little $3 sale as they do to a bigger sale. The guys there always put in the battery for me, while Joey waits patiently. They have everything in this store, and because they help me with the dog collar, I buy all my batteries here. Good customer service = one loyal customer. read more

Needed a new battery 10/6 for my iPhone 6s. Researched around and it seemed that this place had the best deal. Especially when you could make a reservation and receive 10% off. That all was fine. But once I arrived at the store, that was a different deal. The gal that worked the counter (Kimberly) had absolute zero personality or customer service. No greeting no small talk. She acted like she was doing me a favor. Not one word to me during the transaction other than "sign here!" When I arrived back 45 minutes later, to pick up my phone, still had nothing to say other than it's done. We concluded the transaction she handed me the receipt and didn't even say thank you or smile. Having been in business for a lot of years, this person should not be on the front line. She should be in the back behind the scenes where she doesn't have to speak with anyone. Very bad first impression! read more

I brought my iPhone in for a battery replacement and the employee informed me that I would need to give him my password while he takes my phone to the back. This is pure insanity!!! Anyone that gives a stranger their bank account info and password deserves to be robbed. Stay away from this place ... never trust a stranger that says, "Trust me." read more

I went to Batteries Plus in Vista, California, on February 16, for a lawn tractor battery. While they had one in stock, it was about four months old. Since it's better to buy a fresh battery, I asked if they had a fresh one. He offered to order one. With that I asked if the 18% discount being offered by Batteries Plus until February 18 would apply to my order. He then said that offered had expired and would only give a five precent discount. His style was was abrasive and he seemed to lecture me. Although I previously had a good experience with this business, this interaction was unpleasant at best. That kind of condescending attitude is unacceptable and I will never return to Batteries Plus in Vista. read more

I have so many flashlights and other gadgets that I need batteries every day all day. So when I heard of this spot I knew I had to check it out and I'm so glad I did.

Oh yeah the employee Faith was very helpful! read more

Had to update my previous 5-star review. My wife and I came to Batteries Plus with six watches we needed the batteries replaced on. A couple of years ago, I would have paid $4.33 per watch (discounted from $7 because of the number of watches) which was a great deal. Today, I found out the price jumped to almost $12 per watch. Bummer. I only had two watches fixed. Six watches would have cost $80. I've now purchased a watch repair kit off Amazon for $15 and will do it myself from now on. Customer service is still great at Batteries Plus. read more

I needed a refrigerator lightbulb. I called batteries plus and once again they had exactly what I needed. Buying their replacement bulb was one third the cost of the Westinghouse brand replacement. I called and spoke with somebody who told me what they had and how much and Shernoff it's a great fit. Thanks again batteries plus! read more

I went to Batteries Plus to have an RV battery diagnosed. They quickly determined it was only putting out 8 V. Sarah was very efficient and hooked me up with a new one. Not cheap date, but these are deep cycle batteries which are never cheap. Thanks for your help Sarah! read more

Peter of Batteries Plus was so helpful today. This was my second visit to BP and I have been impressed with the level of customer service both times. Peter not only tested my RV batteries, he also gave me some very helpful information on the "care and feeding" of these deep cycle batteries. THANKS! read more

I'm sure I would've given them a better review if they actually performed the service that I needed. I made an appointment at least 48 hours prior to when I came in. I needed my iPhone 6S+ camera replaced. The person that I scheduled my appointment with told me that they would have to ship my camera part in from the sister store in Temecula but it would be easy to get because they can ship it overnight. The morning I got there, I was there for my SCHEDULED appointment time and I still didn't have priority over the 5 walk-in people that were in line that asked questions that required long answers or for the staff to go out and look at their car battery, etc. I waited 20 minutes even though I was on time. Just so that I could do more paperwork and check in w/ one of the staff members and then have her tell me that the sister Temecula store shipped over THE WRONG PART. She said that they had shipped over an iPhone 7 camera part and that it wouldn't fit what I needed fixed. Obviously. I just don't think that I have to wait so long when I clearly had priority over the people that just walked in. Additionally, I wasted my time because someone in the company/workplace didn't do their job correctly. Thanks for the referral, Batteries+. read more

Staff were very helpful and the store carries more than just batteries. Specialty light bulbs and much more.

Today was the first time I have ever visited this store before, and it was the absolute best and most easy experience I have ever had when trying to find something I needed to buy. I went into the store at around noon or 12:30 PM, and an absolutely wonderful older lady with short hair and her ears pierced provided the best customer service ever. Unfortunately, I do not remember her name, but she was the only lady working at the time so I hope management sees this and shows some appreciation to her. Prior to coming to the store I went to two other battery stores to try to find a pretty rare battery for a very old key fob, and the other two stores I went to had no idea what they were doing as they suggested I just go on Amazon and look it up myself to buy. When I arrived at this location I was immediately greeted with a big smile when I walked in and the lady who helped me was very friendly and personable. She knew exactly which battery I needed and she even explained the difference between some other very similar batteries that I almost purchased by mistake earlier in the day. I was having a hard time getting the key Farb open due to rust from it being sold and this wonderful employee pulled me to the side and helped me get it open very gently and change the battery. If management/the owners see this, this lady deserves recognition and a raise!! I will be bringing all of my business to your location as well as referring all of my friends and family who are ever in need of any type of battery whether it be for a remote, vehicle, etc. read more

I have shopped here for batteries and light bulbs in the past, when we lived closer. Today I needed a battery for my John Deere lawn tractor, and the price here beat the John Deere dealer by $30. That is a significant savings, and the CCA for the new battery is 330 compared to 195 for the stock JD battery. Also, a nice customer service shout out to Mike who works here. He really knows his stuff, and is very friendly every time I visit. Also, buy online and select in store pickup for a 10% discount. Saved me about $5 today, a really nice unexpected bonus of shopping here. I ordered online and my battery was ready in about 2 hours. Very easy process online and the pickup was quick too. All in all a five star Yelp experience. Thanks Batteries plus Bulbs, I will recommend you to friends and co workers all day long!! read more

I bought two batteries for my grandmother's electric wheelchair over a year ago. Recently she was complaining that the chair was giving her problems and thought it was because of the batteries. I brought them in over the weekend, and I was helped right away. The team tested out the batteries and showed them to be in near perfect condition. The store manager (I assume, and I didn't catch his name) helped me carry one of the batteries back to my car, and we started chatting about the chair. He gave some great insight into what might be wrong, and sure enough, that led to me being able to fix the chair on my own and get grandma back on the road! Thanks! read more

Rachel hooked me up. She really knows her stuff. She gave me a good deal on my BMW motorcycle battery. They had more than one to choose from, and the one I got has a 2 year warranty, way better than anything else on the market. Check them first and last for all of your battery needs. Great local people to deal with. read more

My wife took her watch in before Christmas to have a the battery replaced. During the process two employees struggled to close the watch case after replacing the battery. They ended up breaking off the stem. They said they would have it repaired in a few days & call when it came in. Over a month later, she is still waiting. She has checked back a couple times & it is still not ready. Avoid this place if you need a watch battery replaced unless it's very routine. Update: Feb 12 2016 still no word read more

I'm really enjoying shopping at the store. I've had several positive experiences worth commenting about. Bought a car battery today from a gentleman named Grant. You sold me a beautiful battery and installed for free. I buy a lot of other silver oxide button batteries that they always have in stock in their prices beat Walmart. I recommend this store wholeheartedly to anybody that needs help with electrical batteries. The whole experience today took less than 30 minutes and I promised Grant that I would write him up on Yelp. Thank you Grant! :-) read more
