They have a good range of Leatherman products as well as Vitorinox, and plenty of Barska binoculars from large and super strong to little portable ones. This is also a shop for girls, if you happen to like these things, and have lots of gadgets that take a difficult kind of battery. There are lots of quite good phone covers, which are both practical, heavy duty and look good. It's very fun to browse in here and see what their latest toy is. However, I find that if I know what I'm looking for, it's much cheaper to nip into a Jaycar to buy batteries. I think of this place as more of a gifts and gadgets shop.

Battery Bar is a man zone. I am not saying that they don't stock products for the fairer sex, in…read morefact there are quite a few, but the vast majority of products are targeted towards manliness. Torches (even ones you wear in mines!), Knives, Tools, remote controlled wonders and even LED Dog collars, you can find them all there. There is even a cool remote controlled chopper that you can control with an app on your ipad......uber cool! Of course they also stock B.A.T.T.E.R.I.E.S! I used to lick batteries, I was a weird kid.

They have always provided great service and been really helpful, fulfilling all our needs with either the same or something comparable that will do the same job. We've even gone in with batteries for really old bikes and scooters and they have always been able to assist. They do in most instances need to order in the specialty battery you may require but they seem to be able to get anything you could possibly need in only a few days. And they will usually call you when the item arrives at the store if you want. They do also provide a 24hr roadside assistance service, for this please call 13 17 60 anytime instead of the store number listed under this business.

I got to my car after work and discovered that I had a flat tyre. Great :-/ I know how to change a…read moretyre so I jump out the driver's seat and pop the boot to grab the spare - except the spare hasn't been used in a couple of years, so it too is flat. I managed to find a kind soul I knew who could house my car overnight so I could return the next day to try and fix the problem. I phoned Bob Jane on Flinders Street as it was just around the corner from where I was parked in the CBD, and they said I could easily bring the spare tyre in to check whether it had a puncture and get it blown up. Lifesavers. I popped in to BJA on my lunch break and the guys took my tyre straight away, pumped it up and dunked it underwater to check for leaks. They said 'no leaks!' and I was on my way, all within about 10 minutes. The service provided was friendly, super quick, and they didn't charge me anything either! Will happily return to BJA for future tyre issues/changes when required, but for now I will just try to stop driving over large screws!

Personally, I'm a die hard Yokohama fan, and I appreciate that they don't try and sway me to another brand when I know what I want on my car. I've recommended family and friends to them, and everyone has had the same brilliant standard of service from them - yes, tyres, auto service and the like is a competitive field, but these guys go out of their way to do it right - it actually feels like they're happy to be helping you with your car, kudo's to the owner for generating the right atmosphere. Really good service, a huge range of tyres and willing to get in anything you're after - and the best prices I've found despite my tendency to shop around for every last cent on purchases like this - what more could you ask for?

To be honest I was blown away with the service here. It is always unfortunate spending your pay…read morecheque on items such as tyres. Seriously who does like buying tyres? They're about as exciting as dental hygiene and water filters. However, these guys quoted me a very fair price, and were more interested in getting the job done right, rather than ripping me off. To my relief, I was back on the road within a couple of hours. *This has been an unpaid advertisement
