Recently I discovered that I had a minor issue starting my car and I made an educated guess that…read morethe issue was car battery since it had been a couple of years since the last swap. I didn't want to go to AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts because there's no guarantee that one of the employees will assist customers with installing a battery, so I did a little more searching on Yelp and decided to drive to Long Beach to one of Continental Battery Systems locations. I didn't make any reservation and simply walked in 30 minutes before the 5 PM closing time and was able to park immediately. One of the staff members was able to test my battery and confirmed that it was bad. They offered new ($200+ for an L2/H5/47CP Automotive Battery) or used ($60+) batteries and I decided to get a brand-new one. The new battery has a 3-year warranty and the used battery has a shorter warranty (just a few months). There was a $15 service fee + sales tax so the grand total was approximately $250. The staff was able to complete the installation quickly and I left the shop in 15 minutes. Overall friendly staff and efficient service. Now I know where to go if I ever need a battery replacement - save me time trying to figure it out myself as the shop has all the tools and experienced staff members to make battery installation easy.

I realize you can get a car battery installed just about anywhere, but this is the second battery…read morethat I bought from Continental Battery Systems of Long Beach. The first one lasted well over four years but it was starting to feel just a little weak so rather than risk having a dead battery and having to call the auto club, I drove back over to their conveniently located shop and I was in and out with a new battery in 15 minutes. The staff was very friendly and actually down sold me from a more expensive battery saying the power draw on my car wouldn't warrant it. In short, both of my experiences with this place have been great.

I accidentally drove to the OTHER Santa Ana location but was able to get to the right one, this one in Friday traffic right before closing. Like, ten minutes before closing. The associate who greeted me, whose name I didn't get, was polite, helpful and quick. He got my receipt printed, some coupons placed in my hand and a battery in my arm in short time and I was on my way back into the traffic to go home. While the battery ended up not being the issue with our Internet (boo) my experience here was great (yay) and I plan on brining a dead car battery to them if it doesn't charge up correctly in the future.

I was able to get it jump started, but I knew it needed a new battery. My dad recommended this place and they were so quick to help!! I showed up, parked on the street, and left my car running because if I turned it off I wouldn't be able to turn it back on. I let them know that I needed a battery and that I couldn't turn my car off or else it would be dead. The owner quickly checked to see if he had a battery for my car (2009 Mazda 3) and he had it. I asked if he could also replace it for me because I had to get to work. Without missing a beat he agreed and within 10 minutes of being there, I had a refurbished battery ready to go in my car. They took my old battery in when they replaced it with the refurbished one. Even though they're refurbished, my car runs and turns on without a hassle now. Best of all, THE PRICE WAS SO GOOD!! I got charged $35 for the whole thing. For my old battery, for the refurbished battery, and for the service. I'm sure depending on the battery, the price changes but man.. you cannot go wrong with that price. He also gave me six months of warranty. My dad swears by this place and honestly, I can see why. Thank you O J Battery for helping me out!!

After walking around the…read morebooths looking for the business, and finally finding this battery place brought a sense of relief. Seriously! Haha. Yes, I've been coming here for all my watches, gate and garage remotes, and my car alarm remotes for years. I come here for its convenience from home, and their fair pricing. A small flat round battery for a watch typically costs $5.00, so not a big deal given the fact that I could come in and out in five minutes if nobody was there. I love it! The owner is an older Chinese guy who's also pretty nice. It takes him 30 seconds to change my battery, verses it might take me an hour... Because I'm all thumbs. The batteries typically lasts for a year if used regularly. Not bad for five bucks. The only hard thing is finding parking on weekends. It's located inside a huge Chinese Supermarket. So I avoid this place on weekends, and will only go during the week. Yes, happy he's still around, and it's go to funky battery place!

When I saw this place I asked the guy if he had one for my particular BB. I couldn't believe the service he gave me. It was awesome. So I first asked him (in Cantonese) if he had a skin for my BB, he responded in Mandarin and asked me to go to the other side where they were located. When he asked me what color I wanted and I said black, he said "girls should use something with color. Your blackberry is a very mannish phone and it's already black, get something with color to spice it up". Since I didn't really see any color that I fancied, I kept reverting to the black. I could tell he seriously did NOT want to sell me the black. He then proceeded to bring every single color out and put them on my BB for me to see. His first suggestion was red, but since red isn't a color I ordinarily like, I passed on it. After several colors, from blue, orange, pearl, yellow, purple, green, I finally said "okay, let's try the red". Surprisingly, I liked the red (and the black) the best. I decided to get both the red and black and he seemed very pleased with my red selection. I didn't have the heart to tell him that personality-wise I'm more mannish than girlish, but I was so overwhelmed by such great service (and in SGV of all places) I felt I just HAD to give him 5 stars!!!
