Interstate All Battery Center

I bought a used battery from this place… service was good… but battery started dying on me after only 3 weeks… called back to see what my replacement option is, but the lady over the phone had a horrible attitude… I clearly explained to her what my situation is and she didn’t respond, when I ask «hello? Are you there?» She didn’t say anything instead she breath out… and said…“so what’s the question!!!”…man…I just told u, didn’t hear me? (i said to myself”) she obviously didn’t like her job… people like that should just quit! Stop giving your company a bad name.

Great prices and great service. The staff here is good to work with.
I got my PT 35 battery here for $ 83. They usually go for around $ 100. The PT series replaces the older I series.
They charge $ 10 for installation or you can bring it home yourself and do it.

Great and quick service! Loaner battery available due to the need for my battery’s over night charge. Serviceman Ulysses is professional, patient and efficient. All-​in-​all, wonderful experience! Thank you!

Friendly staff.
Very attentive. We bought a battery that was too small for some reason and took it back immediately for an exchange. They even look to see if I was installing it correctly as I put the correct size in at the spot. Manager was nice and helpful. Also Look for staff Terrance, he has a great attitude.
We came here because the interstate batteries at costco didnt have one for our toyota yaris. This place was 1 min from our house!

This review of mainly regarding their business practice and service, not the battery itself.
I went here to check the battery and ended up getting it replaced. Got the 5 year warranty one for $ 112.
I asked if they install battery and they said yeah and basically unscrewed the old one and put in the new one and put the screws back on which in all took less than 5 minutes. A 14 year old could have done the job with a pair of pliers.
After all said and done the guy charged me $ 10 for the installation with no mention of it at all. I called him and he shamelessly said he told me about it.
Granted the price of the battery was reasonable but the $ 10 charge threw me under the bus cause they know most people wouldn’t have brought their tools given almost all places that sells car battery do it for FREE!

I had a very good experience with this Interstate Battery location. They actually had a rare Yuasa NS60 battery I had been in search of for some time for my 71 honda Z600 restoration. They also offered to order more for me in the future if needed. I’ll definitely be back to give them more of my money if I do ever need another.

My initial review of this place is it is honest. The service fellow checked my car battery with his tools and told me my battery is still working. Just a day ago, I had car maintenance at my car dealer and they told me the battery failed the test. So I came expecting to replace a battery. But I was sent home without one and told to come back in a few months. So for now I am happy. Also the price quotes seem reasonable.

My battery was about to dying and I was lucky enough to jump start the car to get it to to Interstate in SGV. My car dealer service advisor advised me to replace my stock battery with an Interstate battery (because otherwise the dealer was going to charge me an arm and a leg). I made a quick phone call in the morning to confirm if they battery was available and it was confirmed that it was.
I’m driving from Pasadena to SGV hoping my car won’t die on me and I made it… after a few detours because they’re doing road construction on Mission Blvd. The business is still open; you’ll just have to find a way to get to it with the detour.
Once I got there, I started removing my battery. I had some difficulty, so I asked a technician for assistance. The two techs that I interacted with were both very nice and provided good customer service. I proceeded to remove my own battery and purchased an Interstate battery, I was able to install it into my car and pay for it. The warranty on my new Interstate battery is 6 years, with 30 months free replacement I believe.
Overall, 1) great customer service and 2) so far I’m happy with the battery (although it can be somewhat expensive, but you can’t skimp on quality).

This place is great! The staff here are super friendly and will most likely offer to help you if you need immediate assitance. This place is a great alternative to buying a brand new batter and at a fraction of the cost.

The San Gabriel location was excellent. Came in with a dead battery and we were quickly attended to. All told our experience was 15 min. of efficiency. Clean location and friendly service. I was recommended to go from my brother in law who knows everything about cars. I totally recommend this place.

Great service. Quick, friendly and know there stuff. Highly recommend. Got that Green Top Interstate MegaTron –2, 5 yr for my Subaru Wrx. Love it

Both my batteries went bad in my truck after 1 year. They actually exploded under my hood… .warranty you may ask? I was told no because my truck is commercial. .no its not… I will post a pic of my truck to let you decide… I also know a California government agency that also got screwed by interstate battery for pallets of them… crap batteries on top of it all they offered me to purchase new ones at full cost.

We always go here when one of our cars need a battery. Have always received great service and they always work within my price range.

Had to go here today because my car battery was completely dead. I called ahead to confirm that they had the one I needed in stock, and got a quote for the battery and installation. After I showed up, it took about 15 minutes for them to ring me up and install the battery. It was hassle-​free and all the staff I encountered were efficient and friendly. Interstate is known as one of the best battery companies too! Highly recommended.

Beware Interstate Batteries! I bought a new 5 year warrantied Interstate battery from my mechanic in Alhambra a couple of years back. It started going bad about 2 years later so I go into the store to have it checked out. The manager used his cheapie little tester and said the battery was fine. He said the problem was my alternator not the battery. I suspected that was a load of crap and a couple of months later my battery flat out died. I went back to my mechanic where I originally purchased it. He checked it out and confirmed that my battery had indeed died. It still had a warranty so I bought another battery FROM HIM and used the unused portion of the original Interstate battery towards the purchase. I haven’t had any problems since then, and guess what? I still have the same alternator. Yep, the same one the manager at Interstate told me was the problem! In the future I’m going somewhere else like Costco if/​when I need a new battery. This place does NOT honor their warranty so I simply won’t buy from them anymore! Beware Interstate!

a bunch of slave driving tea baggers, i worked there and won a suit against this place. they abuse their employees. beware of this evil nasty comapny and their reconditioned batteries. the class action is coming, will be serving soon.

I had dealt with Interstate batteries in Orange County and in the SGV, this store is actually in the SGV. They batteries I have purchased from Interstate batteries were always solid, especially for small machinery in manufacturing and recycling such as forklifts including deep cycle batteries when the business calls for it. When I worked a temporary purchasing agent assignment in South Central Los Angeles I quoted Interstate Batteries who gave me a solid price quote on quality batteries.
I worked with the manager at this store who helped me get the process going. It was too bad my assignment ended before I could finalize the purchase and I am not sure what happened afterwards, hopefully they went with the quality batteries, solid price and good lead time.
I cannot blame them for the purchase we did not make during my last dealing with them. I have to be fair and give them a shout out. They may have been the best purchase I never had. Much Like Beyonce in her 2011 song.

There was a time
Your quote had everything right
But my timing was wrong
I must had good state of mind
So when I think the time I almost purchased you
You showed your qualities, I saw the real you
No PO alignment
It was the end of my assignment
Still give props to you
So hey, good looking out
You quoted me that
I wanted it bad
And your quote turned out to be the best purchase I never had
Quote turned out to be the best purchase I never had
I am not obviously the only one you’ll ever have
Oh yea, I bet its cool to be you right now
Not mad, not at place of work
Ooh hoo, did I expect to still be there?
Purchasing with no fears
But I no longer are there
So when I think the time I almost purchased you
You showed your qualities, I saw the real you
No PO alignment
It was the end of my assignment
Still give props to you
So hey, good looking out
You quoted me that

Quote turned out to be the best purchase I never had

Oh yea, I bet its cool to be you right now
One day I will be back
To buy some batteries from your rack
I will be the one who will always pay
I know it may be another place, another time, another purchasing world, another purchasing life
Thanks that I found, not goodbye
You quoted me that
I wanted it bad
And your quote turned out to be the best purchase I never had

Ooh, best purchase I never had!

wow this place is all about batteries regardless of type from big to small
use or new well. (reconduction) if you think your battery for your car is dead.
they can service it and it’s going to cost i think $ 50 to also for people who have power tool they can reconduction too. and is half the price of a new one.
well my car battery is dead from my sound system. but they took care of it
replace it for me also upgrade to a better one too sweet!!!
***
for those who don’t know how to take out a car battery or deal it it
they’ll do it for you for $ 5 bucks

Place is great but a little hidden. I showed up with a old battery and I was helped right away. Great service even for me showing up in baggy cloths & spiky hair.

Gilbert was the best!!! I had an issue with the body shop I recently went to because they left my battery loose for some reason and my car didn’t start last few days so I had to carpool. On close inspection it was the cable just too loose, Interstate took a look at it tightened up what was needed on the terminal, the support and tested the battery charge, no problem any more still awesome service here!!!
