Chris answered and confirmed they had the batteries I needed, I asked if they installed the batteries, he said yes although he was the only person working the shop and may take a while. I drove 30 miles to find a line of customers waiting, Chris was very patient, helping and honest helping each customer what at a time. Eventually he was able to replace the two batteries in my RV all the while helping other customers and keeping a positive attitude.

Sadly, my battery is on its way out. The staff were super nice in assessing whether my battery was dead, and it was. I had good luck with that type of battery, so I wanted a Centennial battery, but they didn't have one in stock. The guys were super nice and helpful, cracking jokes and making my experience really good, especially Robert, the guy at the front. He's a super kind gentleman! After finding out they didn't have it in stock, they started discussing getting a battery from El Paso de Robles on their trip to another location, which is like an hour away, just to help me. A minute later, they offered to have it here within a few hours. I agreed and, since I was driving a bit today, I decided to wait here. I took my car and parked outside. Then the elements started hitting... bathroom needs, thirst, hunger. I figured I'd suck it up but at least find a bathroom. I went back into the store to see if by any chance they had one available, and they did. When I came out, Robert had found a small packet of Ritz crackers and a cold water bottle for me. I have to tell you, sitting for a few hours in a car under the sun is not great, but being empathetic and understanding how that feels, and looking for a way to help without being asked, is one of the nicest things any person can do! I'm super grateful for that huge act of kindness. It was really a nice thing to do. These guys definitely earned my business today, and for every single battery I ever need to buy!

The screen went black but you could see the picture if you shined a bright light on it and you could hear the audio. The LED backlighting failed. I took it in, Miguel in the back of the store ordered the replacement LEDs and repaired the TV. Took about 2 1/2 weeks. 40" screen TV repair was $120.00. It's more if the TV is larger however. Very pleased! Thank you Miguel!
