I stopped here today after my car's battery died yesterday. They were recommended to me by a…read morefriend. I drive a 2019 Subaru Outback and it had the original battery so it was long overdue for a replacement. I called ahead of time to make sure they had one in stock and they did, so I stopped by a couple hours later. I was immediately greeted by a very friendly gentleman who showed me where to park. He had me pop the hood and checked my alternator, then went to get a new battery. He went to work on replacing it after checking the settings in my car. Once he was done he cleaned up the battery acid from my old battery corroding and I was good to go. It came out to a total of $180, $170 for the battery and $10 for install. The man who helped me was very friendly and knowledgeable. He told me what he was doing before he did it so I knew what was going on. He didn't talk down to me because I'm not a man a which was a welcome relief. Note that they won't work on Subarus if they were made in 2020 or later due to how Subaru batteries work now. I didn't catch the whole explanation but it was good to know. The place itself is small and easy to miss but they have everything you would need battery-wise. They do installs for you and make sure it's all working, all for a very good price. I will definitely be back!

Never again. Mac's…read moreused to be a great place to buy a car battery. However 2-3 years ago the business changed ownership and they moved locations. Long story short, I purchased a car battery and it failed while under warranty. My car had not been started for over a week. I jump started it and then took it to my mechanic that I have used for years. He did 2 different tests, and told me both tests showed the battery was weak and I would need a replacement. Note...my mechanic doesn't sell batteries. He gave me 2 computer read-outs that showed the battery was weak. I took my car back to Macs and told them what had happened and also told him that my mechanic had said the under-warranty battery was weak. This battery had been purchased from Macs less than a year, so it was under full replacement. First the guy at Macs suggested there must be some type of "draw" on the battery. I told him my prior Battery from Interstate lasted around 4 years so if there was a "draw" it just started to "draw" with the new battery. Then the Mac's guy did some testing and said the battery was still good and not weak. Then I showed him the mechanics report that showed 2 different methods of testing, both showing a weak battery. That's when the story changed and Mac's grudgingly replaced my battery. Then, 1.5 years later with the Mac's replacement battery, and not starting the car for a bit, the same thing happened again. Again, I took the battery to my mechanic and again, he ran 2 separate tests. This time he said the results of one showed it was "average" but the other test said he said showed low. No I'm not going back to Mac's for a replacement. Mac's has lost my business. Bottom line, based on them suggesting there was nothing wrong and me showing 2 reports saying they are low, I don't trust them. I went to a store and bought an AC Delco that has a 4-year total replacement warranty. It costs more than Mac's, but I expect it to last 4 years...even when I haven't started my car for a week.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Timothy at Hwy 99…read more My first experience was that he answered the phone even though he was closed. (I couldn't even get others to answer the phone when they were open or take the time to answer a few questions to help me in a bind.) He then helped me pick out a Dell laptop that met my needs when my old one crashed. He got nothing for that service. I paid him an incredibly reasonable amount to transfer my data from my old laptop to the new one, which I had sent directly to him. The new computer arrived damaged. Luckily, I paid for the highest support from Dell. Timothy arranged everything, spending cumulatively at least an hour to get through Dell support to get the tech there to repair it. I didn't have to do anything but put in the initial service request. While he was at it, he fixed my tablet that died on the same day as my laptop. (Ya, not a great day.) Upon putting my old laptop back together, he somehow managed to get it running again! He replaced the HD and card, replaced the battery, picking the best one available for the best price, fixed the heat sync, loaded it with Windows 10, got it ready for me as a backup, took my old drives and put them in cases for me to use as a backup from my new computer! I wouldn't have even thought to do that! He did all this for less than the price of a cheap piece of crap computer from a big box store. I have friends who have bought computers and spent the same as I did from Best Buy, who have had nothing but problems and BS trying to get them repaired. DON'T DO IT! Do what I did. Reach out to Timothy for all your computer needs. And, I found out he does IT support remotely! I'm sold! Oh, and if you are into gaming, he showed off his killer gaming system he set up. So, check him out for custom systems. He knows his stuff! If I could give a 10, I'd give a 10.

Great job Tim!! You fixed my laptop in record time and at a great rate. I'll be sure to use your…read moreservices and recommend your services to everyone I know! Trustworthy and amazing skilled techs! Thank you Thank you
