“Poor communication. Took 2 days to replace my battery. Tech was super professional , but the experience wasn’t good. I could have towed my car and had it replaced by a reputable shop. Finally installed at 10 pm at night .”

“I ordered a battery from 1-800-Battery of Olney on Saturday the 5th of March. I picked an installation date of the following Monday, March 7th between 2 and 4 PM. On Saturday, March 5th, the day I ordered the battery, an unmarked car backed into our driveway and said he was there to put in the battery. I said we were eating dinner and he would have to come back at my appointment time the following Monday. On Monday, the same person came back to do the installation. I asked for documentation and the warranty for the battery. He said it would be emailed to me from 1-800 Battery of Olney. I called the company the next day and said my email order was all I was getting and that I could claim a warranty just by using the order number. I don't see how this could be the case since nowhere on the emails does it say Die Hard Platinum or any serial number or item number. I would not use !-800 Battery again.”

“Don't be fooled by the website! The battery you think you are ordering may not be the one that the technician brings. I thought I was buying a Die Hard $220 battery. They tried to install an Exide $119 battery. I called the 800 number for help and was told that they don't guarantee the battery brand. Be aware of that!”

“The appointment was 4-6 pm on Friday March 4th. 4:55pm, "1-800-Battery is on the way and should arrive in about 2 hours. Track your driver here: https://onf.lt/a82e9e0e8f" 4:59pm, missed call from 1800battery 5:10pm, I called back 1800battery. no agent available 7:28pm tracking links showing "service completed" I did not see anyone 7:30pm, I called 1800battery. office closed. Certainly I am not happy with the experience. I emailed info and was informed that Ricky the techinician arrived service location and made a phone call. I did not pick up thus, the service was cancelled. This process could be improved. I asked for refund.”

“When I placed my order via chat I was provided a quote, subsequently long after I received an email stating I was being charged an additional $ 25. The Chat transcript clearly showed otherwise, so while the work was performed and done well, I cannot give a good review as the chat agent gave out erroneous information. While it was corrected and I was ultimately credited, it cost me time and aggravation. I give them 2 Stars”

“Did not receive a receipt for my $230 battery purchase! Installer arrived ~6 hr late without a replacement battery. He had to purchase one at the local Auto Tract store but left without providing any of the paperwork (i.e. battery warrantee, cost, etc). Where is the documentation for this transaction and how do I get it?”

“I got the service, but it was not as it is offered: 1. it was offered to get at home 2 hours after ordering, they showed up the next day 2. I bought 1 battery brand and they installed a different one”

“The tech, Tim, that installed my battery was amazing. He was professional, efficient and nice. The order and the communications of 1-800-Battery was horrendous. The appointment was scheduled for 9am. Not one email or text confirming appointment. At 1020am, I called. It took 19 minutes to talk to someone. The call then took another 15 minutes on hold. The rep said he would call the tech and call me back. No call back. At 130pm, no call or contact. I called back, again heavy wait times and the rep I spoke to ensured me that there was a tech, he was held up but he was coming. He said he would be there in 1/2 hour, if it was going to be longer rep said he would call. No call back. No communication. At 3pm still nothing. I was on hold waiting for a rep to cancel and viola, I had a text from Tim that he was on the way! As aforementioned, Tim was great. But oh my, the communication and customer service of the company is horrible. Turns out Tim is the only 1-800 tech in Columbus Ohio. So, buyer beware if you consider using this service.”

“I give it 5 stars!! They came out but we missed one another. However a couple of phonecalls later it was reconfirmed and he returned to insert the new battery. I was visiting so my auto sat outside in some very nippy temperatures for about a week. But when I got ready to leave, it started right up. Drove from Kansas City, MO to Fort Worth/Arlington, TX without a hitch! Took it to my local service mechanic and he gave it thumbs up for the quality of the battery, as well as the hook-up. Thanks for a job well done! I would use them again without hesitation, especially if out ot town!”

“I so disappointed with the customer service that I received. My appointment was for 8 am and I called at 930am to get an ETA. The representative said that the technician was on the way. I called again 10 am and I was told that the technician was on Ashland Street. It wasn't until 12:47 when I received my first call only to be told that no one will be coming. I was told someone would be out on Sunday. On Sunday I called and the call center was closed. Later that morning I received a text from the technician that he was on the way. Once he arrived he did a great job and promptly. As for the call center they need to do a better job at communicating with customers. They offer apologies nor credits for wasting my entire day.”

“I'm giving the service two stars because they showed up two and a half hours late for my appointment time, making me enormously late for work. This was an hour and forty minutes after the operator told me the techs would arrive when I called half an hour after my appointment time. Once they were here, they were friendly, courteous, and fast, but why would a business promise a time that they can't actually deliver on? Don't use this service if timing is important.”

“The communication from 1-800-Battery is very poor. I made an appointment for 9am the next day and that time came and went with no update from the tech or your company. I reached out to support and they couldn't provide an answer so they said they'd get back to me. They didn't. I chatted again and another tech said I was good to go. I had to explain that I was still waiting and it was now almost 2 hours past my appointment time. Only then did he look into it, but still no answer. Finally on my 3rd message to y'all about 3 hours after my appointment time the support agent was able to get in touch with the tech and he arrived at my house 4.5 hours after my appointment time. Once he got here everything was great but you should be more proactive in your communication to customers. I shouldn't have had to initiate follow-up to find out what was going on with my order.”

“If anyone should ask me for a recommendation on your performance I would advise them to shoot you on site. Except for the mechanic that put the new battery in my car the rest of the experience Unforgettable in a negative way. I don’t mind bad news but I do hate surprises. And all your service did surprised me.”

“Had a terrible time getting someone to actually show up when they promised. Cost me an entire day because they were 5 hours late. Once the guy actually got here, he wasn't even a 1-800-Battery employee....worked for someone called "Pop-A-Lock." The guy, once he finally did get here, was actually pretty good and got the job done in a timely fashion. What happened to the days when someone actually delivered on what they said they'd do, when they said they'd do it?”

“An hour and forty five minutes late with no explanation or apology. The guy who showed up looked like ODB rose from the dead.”

“I definitely feel like I was misled. I asked for a quote on "chat" and was told that my card would not be charged there would only be a hold on it and once the technician had replace the battery my card would be charged. When the technician got here I asked him for a less expensive battery. I had spoken to the Volkswagen dealership earlier and was told for my make and model of Jetta that any battery that size would work and that the computer did not have to be reset. However when the technician got here and I asked him about all of that he said no he could not do that that my card had already been charged and I had already paid for a $265 battery. In the future I will not use these services again I will purchase my battery from auto pro and hire someone to put it in and I'm sure I can save myself at least $100. I think your company is shady.”

“The install was late by an hour and the battery did not fit my car. The technician had to install one of his own batteries because 1-800battery sent an incorrectly sized battery (the tech had said at the store that the battery would not fit).”
