Called on a Monday, I was told they would have the battery on Thursday. So I called on Thursday, then they said the battery would be in on Monday. So I called the following Monday then I was told the battery would be there Thursday... Off to O'Reillys I guess read more

If you're looking for an affordable refurbished battery with a 6-month warranty, this is definitely the place to check out. I paid only $65 with a core exchange, and they even installed it for free! Whether you're buying, selling, or just trying to get a few more months out of your car without spending a fortune, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Great prices, friendly service, and free installation make it an easy 5-star experience. read more

Battery Mart is such a lifesaver! The service and value was unbelievable. The warranty offer, with the best battery price I've ever seen, genuinely provided me the ability to maintain some sort of livelihood. The gentlemen at the shop went above and beyond to make sure I would not be stranded roadside, and for that i cannot express enough gratitude. Will be referring anyone who needs a battery in OC this way! read more

Spoke to Don the owner who was incredibly nice and helpful. I have a toy from the 80s that needs a specialty battery and he offered for me to bring it in so they can bring it back to life. I've been calling businesses across Anaheim and Batter Mart was the only one that offerer to help. All the reviews for Battery Mart are 5 stars and I can see why. read more

Absolutely amazing service! I had about 20 mins before going back to work, drove over, and in less than 5 minutes a brand new battery was installed. The cost was around $60 for a brand new battery (I drive a Volkswagen Passat 2017). Highly recommend! read more

After wasting over an hour trying to get a battery from Sam's Club (refused to do Acura) or Costco (doesn't install), we headed to battery mart where the battery was installed in less than 5 minutes, no waiting, and was $30 less than Sam's and over $100 cheaper than Pep Boys! Will be our forever go to place now and will happily recommend! read more

Everything went smooth. Great service, value and selection. I've referred several friends to them..

If I could give Battery Mart more than five stars, I absolutely would. This place is one of those rare businesses that reminds you what great service and real value are supposed to look like. Every time I've stopped by -- whether it's for a car battery, a key fob battery, or just to ask a quick question -- the experience has been consistently excellent. Battery Mart has earned my trust completely, and I recommend them to anyone looking for quality products, professional service, and prices that make sense. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a genuine welcome -- not a sales pitch. The team here is knowledgeable, straightforward, and honest about what you need. They don't try to upsell or confuse you with technical jargon. Instead, they take the time to explain your options, the differences between products, and what will work best for your specific situation. That kind of transparency is rare these days, and it's one of the many reasons this shop stands out. Let's talk about value, because it's unbeatable. The prices here are consistently lower than what you'll find at big-name auto parts stores, and the quality is often better. They carry trusted brands, and their batteries are fresh -- not old stock that's been sitting on a shelf for months. Whether you need a new car battery, a motorcycle battery, or even something for your golf cart or boat, Battery Mart has it all, and you'll leave knowing you got the best deal around. The service is equally impressive. They test your battery on the spot, give you an honest assessment, and install a new one quickly if needed -- often for no extra charge. They move fast but carefully, making sure everything is hooked up correctly and safely. The staff is polite, patient, and clearly experienced. I've seen them help multiple customers at once, and they still manage to make everyone feel taken care of. Another thing that makes Battery Mart exceptional is their integrity. I once came in convinced I needed a new battery, but instead of selling me one, they tested it and told me it still had plenty of life left. They could have easily made a sale, but instead they gave me honest advice -- and that's the kind of honesty that keeps customers for life. The shop itself is well organized, clean, and easy to navigate. You can tell they take pride in keeping things professional. Even when they're busy, the wait is never long, and the staff stays friendly and efficient. They also take the time to dispose of old batteries safely, which shows responsibility and care for the environment -- another big plus. For anyone who appreciates small businesses that still do things the right way, Battery Mart is a gem. It's the kind of place you want to keep supporting because they genuinely earn your business with great prices, top-quality products, and exceptional customer care. I've recommended this place to family, friends, and coworkers, and everyone who's gone has had the same experience -- honest people, fast service, and batteries that last. In a world where big companies seem to care more about profits than people, Battery Mart is a refreshing reminder that good value and great service can still go hand in hand. Five stars without hesitation -- Battery Mart delivers everything you could want: reliability, fairness, and professionalism, all wrapped in small-town friendliness. If you want to save money, get expert help, and walk away feeling like you made a smart purchase, this is absolutely the place to go. read more

My PC power supply failed and I brought in the battery pack to swap out. They took the old batteries and gave me replacements. I was in and out in ten minutes. Fantastic. read more

In and out in 5 minutes. Great prices and great service. Mayberry RFD vibes, look it up.

Honest, great price and FAST! Pull in, they put in a new batter and you're gone! Couldn't be faster!

I found Battery Mart by accident. If you want to do business the old school way with no frills, come on in. Tyler was extremely helpful and has been a battery technician for 20 years here! Please understand batteries lasted for ever when we were young, now about every 3-5 yrs you need a new battery for your conveyances. It was a pleasure to find this historical landmark and look forward to future adventures. Thank you! read more

I have used battery mart in the past. I looked up the business on yelp to find there hours and was lucky enough to find a ten dollar off coupon. I pulled into the shop and they had my hood up within two minutes and we're testing my battery. Sure enough my battery was dead. The guys at the shop were professional and friendly.Had me out of there in about ten minutes. I would recommend them for any car battery needs.The price is more than competitive and the service is excellent. read more

In and out in under 10 minutes; really nice knowledgeable people and only $120.47 total price. What could be better.

When AAA showed up, I was expecting $190 - $250 for a new battery. After being told AAA could not replace my battery, the driver recommended Battery Mart. He said you just pull in and they replace it. He did mention they charge for install, but that many people have talked about their service. I called the dealership because the car is only three years old. They were charging almost $425, and I needed an appointment. Hey, the battery is dead and it would be nice to get it done quickly. Oh well. So I called Battery Mart. They quoted me just a little over $100 and no install charge if it's a straightforward install. I jumped the car with my NEXPOW 2000A Peak Car Jump Starter (a great product BTW), and hightailed it over to Battery Mart.They are easily located on Victoria St, just off Newport Blvd and the 55 Freeway. When I pulled in I was directed straight into an open bay. About ten minutes later, I had paid and was on my way with a new five year warranty battery, and for only $120 including tax. Time will tell regarding the battery itself. I have no reason not to believe it will be a suitable replacement, and definitely easy on the wallet. The staff was super friendly and quite efficient and quick. I highly recommend Battery Mart. And thanks to AAA for the recommendation. read more

Quick, painless and affordable. Got me back on the road in under 15 minutes. Support this local business! read more

Chances are if you need a battery and live within a 200 mile radius of Costa Mesa at least 4 people you know will recommend this place. My dad was getting batteries from here in the 80s/90s, and your dad probably was too. Most straightforward place to take your truck. Takes like 10 minutes. Cool old school AC Delco ads on the walls to remind you of DALE JR's Busch series championship. Will keep going here until the i can't drive and they take my license 10/10 read more

Guy is awesome. Shop is awesome. They have all types of batteries, service is fast and price won't be beat. Go there,

In the middle of moving to their new location at 2075 Harbor Blvd. and the A-frame building just north of W. Bay St. They replaced both the batteries in my truck and my SUV. read more

Very quick service very helpful and the one and his team are very kind and sweet! My tire popped and I didn't have very much he agreed to give it to me for 120 for 1 tire. Definitely come by!!! read more

(Saturday, October 15, 2022) For reasons that I can't yet explain, my review was somehow posted under my same name but to a different account. An account with this one review only. Couldn't figure out how I received a congratulatory Welcome-to-Yelp email Duh! Until I get that sorted out, I'm copying-and-pasting the review to the correct "Bob B." user account. - - - BATTERY MART (10/11/2022) - I've seen a couple of the really negative reviews and, of course, I have no reference point for those. And please know that I'm absolutely sympathetic to the occasional not-good-experience that bedevils every business and customer from time-to-time. Having said that, I have to weigh in about yesterday's GREAT first-time experience here. Typical scene: Dead battery in home driveway means no great breakfast with my regular Tuesday AM Crew. I do what you almost always do. I call AAA (aka Automobile Club of Southern California around these parts) for a tow because I just don't know for certain if it's "dead battery alone" or something more serious and I want to get ahead of the game if I can. Cordial Southside Towing driver Sam shows up, checks battery, and we discuss ACSC's battery replacement service which I've used before. The planned scenario is for them to show up, install the right new battery, take your credit card info ... and you're done. Easy enough in theory. But yesterday, after more than an of waiting past the scheduled time, I get a call back from the Auto Club saying "no technicians and no batteries" in your area today. (I live in one of the most population-dense places in the country where you can throw a rock and hit an Auto Club-related vendor, right? Can't figure it out. Surely this isn't the fault of Covid? That's still the all-purpose excuse for any substandard circumstance.) So, my wife drives me to my Volvo mechanic, Tom Donoghue at Value Auto in Costa Mesa. Check out my stellar and well-deserved review of him and his business. The man actually drops what he's doing and drives to my nearby house ("Tom, we can do this tomorrow"), successfully jumps the battery, and leads me to the place near his shop where he sends all his customers: Battery Mart. It's a little tough to spot from the street as it looks like a private residence next to Herb's Garage until you look closer (see photo). The nearest major landmark would be the Jiffy Lube on the corner of Newport Blvd. and Victoria St. I pull into the driveway and around the back straight in to a service bay. Pop the hood, battery chosen. Given a $99.95 price quote and I step over to the counter for invoice and payment. In the time it takes me to pay and turn around, the job is done! Unbelievable! I've spent longer at traffic lights than it took to get that battery into my ancient chariot. Their business card reads "THE FACTS-THE SAVY [sic]-THE BATTERIES" and "HOME OF SUDDEN SERVICE". To misspell "savvy" ... insert your own joke here (it's correct on this Yelp page) ... but their description was my utterly-satisfied experience. Of course, time will tell the tale about the battery itself and any necessary return visits. But if you get online and invoke one of those "find your battery search engines", make sure somebody's standing nearby to revive you from the sticker shock at how much most of them cost these days. After a morning in Dead Battery Purgatory, it was nice to have a good end to the story! read more

This is a great place to get batteries. I needed 2 for my mobility scooter and the price was lower than 2 other places I called. Plus, they installed the batteries for me! Call here first. You won't be disappointed. read more

Very helpful. They stayed late for me to pick up my battery on a Saturday and very easy to work with. Thank you!

I looked everywhere for 2 6v deep cycle marine batteries for my RV. I remembered driving past Battery mart when visiting my Aunt in HB, so on a whim, I drove out there (because I couldn't remember the name of the place). An incredibly sweet young man, can't remember his name but he is the owner's grandson, knew exactly what I needed, grabbed me two, carried them to my car (I have an understanding for how crazy strong this rather slight guy is! It took all I could manage to SHIFT even one of them in the back of my car when I got home!) Got all paid (great price!) and off to the races! 2 minutes. They offered to install them if I bring the RV back. After trying to get my son to do it, I'm taking it back tomorrow to have it done. If I don't come back and update this to the contrary, you can assume it went as wonderfully as my first encounter with them! It's always great to find a small family operated place like this, and get that personal attention. If I EVER need another battery for ANYTHING, I'm coming back here. It's worth the (40 minute) drive. read more

After dealing with battery issues for several months and taking my vehicle in on two different occasions I would not recommend these guys to anyone. I would rather have a High school auto shop kid actually fix my vehicle than these arrogant aholes get me in and out in 2 minutes but not actually ficx the underlying issue. They know so much about batteries they dont need to even listen to the customer so you will end up like me every day waking up wondering if your car is actually going to start. I can call them but I already know they will ignore anything I say, tighten the terminal and send me on my way only for the f'ing thing to not start 2 days later. Worst customer service ever. I guess the only good thing is I didnt get charged for the 2 times I took the vehicle in but I wouldn rather pay and have the damn thing work. The battery is theirs which is why they had no problem helping for free but again, not very helpful when I am constantly having to deal with the battery terminals and these arrogant know it all d1psh1ts provide a temporary fix, and I mean very temporary when 2 days later I am having issues again. Nightmare. read more

I needed a new battery yesterday and came in to the shop after finding it on yelp. Read the good reviews and got some bad service. Left with some issues that their young mechanic could not finish. 1st he left a battery cable loose. 2nd he forgot to plug a hose back in my air filter. 3rd he left a wire that was making contact with the fan which would make a weird noise while I was driving. Please be careful coming here and check the work before you leave. read more

Been purchasing all my batteries for my cars here for years and years. Unfortunately, they had given me a smaller battery than what fits into my car and told me probably since I'm female and don't know much about batteries, he gentleman told me "this will work just fine" so I took his word and used the battery, after not even a year the battery kept dying. I was not able to drive my car even after calling AAA and jumping my car several times, battery kept dying, took it back to battery mart 5x and all they did was "charge it up" and come pick it up couple hours later. okay i did this 5 times and now i'm sick of it, they would not give me a replacement battery even though their warranty stated it and my battery is within time frame. SCUMS AND SCAMS! never returning and giving my business here ever again! BEWARE, don't come get your CHEAP batteries here unless you don't mind cheap quality batteries that won't hold their power!!!! read more

The service here is quick and they had the battery checked before letting me know if it needed to be replaced. I respect the workers and the service they provide and value the pricing they provide. read more

Reliable & affordable. They gave me the choice of a new battery installed &/or they will charge your old battery. AAA told me that my battery could not be jumped or charged and did I want a $300 battery? I declined and took the battery to Battery Mart to find the battery charged all the way, but I bought roughly $100 battery installed to ensure less future problems. read more

In September 2020, and based on positive Yelp reviews , we purchased a battery for our car. For $99.95 (plus tax), with a five-year warranty, it felt like an unbeatable price. We were in and out within a few minutes, and we thought we scored a great deal. Unfortunately, in November 2021, the car would not start on several occasions, and our mechanic confirmed there was nothing wrong with the alternator or starter. Our mechanic was confident there was an issue with the battery. I brought the car back to Battery Mart, with our September 2020 receipt, but the gentlemen who ran the business declined to honor the warranty, taking the position that there was nothing wrong with the battery. As a compromise, we agreed to purchase a new battery at a discounted price. For nearly two years, we had no issues. However, once in September 2023, and on multiple occasions in December 2023, we repeatedly needed to jumpstart the battery. We drive the car almost daily, we confirmed no lights had been left on, no devices were plugged in, etc. Our mechanic again confirmed there was nothing wrong with the alternator or starter, and it was his opinion the likeliest culprit was (again) a bad battery. While we could have brought the vehicle back to Battery Mart in the hopes the shop would honor the warranty this time around, we opted to spend a little bit more money, and to buy a battery from Costco. While I was a little intimidated by the process of replacing a battery on my own, it ended up being relatively straightforward. In the end (and while we've all become quite comfortable with jump starting our car battery), we realized we'd rather spend a little bit more money on a battery that can we can (hopefully) rely on for more than two years at a time. In all the years of car ownership, we have never been in a situation where we have had to replace a car battery this often. While perhaps we are outliers, our personal experience with Battery Mart has been disappointing. read more

Battery died this morning, was able to jump the car and get it over to Battery Mart. Looking for a quick fix, and so happy to have found it. We were in and out in less than ten minutes - at a really reasonable rate. I have been quoted 2x for battery replacement on my VW. Once at dealership for 4x the price, and another trusted mechanic for about double what I paid for parts and labor. So far car is running like new. Happy to have found a good place to get a battery when needed! Will be back! read more

I got a new battery from Battery Mart a year ago, a year later the battery started to fail. I took it back multiple times to battery mart to diagnose and they told me it was fine and that it was my cars starter. I ended up getting a new battery from from somewhere else and my car runs perfectly fine now. You get what you pay for buying cheap batteries. read more

Great place to get a battery. I was in and out of there within ten minutes and my car is running great. The owner is super nice and you won't find any prices more reasonable than here. Highly recommend!!! read more

Always great service and honest pricing , I have been a customer for over 20 years. Friendly and rel

Best prices in town. Batteries are way cheaper here than AAA and car dealerships. I got a new battery for $89.95 that included installation. I pulled my car into their garage, a guy popped my hood, got me a new battery, I walked to the counter to pay. By the time I signed the receipt, my new battery was already installed. Literally, I was there for less than 10 minutes. I LOVE EFFICIENCY! Best part: 5 year warranty on the battery. Doesn't get better than this folks. Support local! read more

Excellent fast service and you can't beat the price of the battery. All that and free installation.
