All Auto Battery

As a wee bit of a hippie, I will jump at the chance to support a business (especially local), that recycles, refurbishes and repurposes stuff. Enter All Auto Battery; I had no idea places like this exist! If it wasn’t for the battery in my car dying and a friend of mine referring me to All Auto Battery, I would not have known about this little recycling battery oasis.
Based on what I wrote earlier, it’s only natural that I wanted to support this «green» business…(and pay much less for a battery, I’ll be honest here). I was impressed by the prompt and excellent customer service. I was in with a dead battery and out with a rebuilt one in less than 20 minutes.
Oh and some little cute mouse was chewing on the grounding cable and it was frayed; badly. So basically, some random night I would no longer have the luxury of driving with lights… and would you believe, this place had a brand new one? Yep, they sure did! It was installed in a nanosecond. So needless to say, I am feeling a lot more at peace whilst driving my car now that it starts regularly and I no longer have the fear of a fire starting under the hood and/​or driving at night sans lights.
Great place to go for sure!

Ok, this ain’t a sexy place, or a fancy place. It looks like a run down garage, and it definately ain’t Martha Stewart decorating the walls. It’s a garage, with all the dust, the grease and the concrete that you would expect.
But what they do is specialized… car batteries, and not much more. And more importantly, they do it incredibly well.
As you drive in, you’ll see shelves of car batteries of all sizes and shapes. But while they do have new ones, take a look (or ask them) at the recycled ones. These are basically a drop dead bargain. They take car batteries, remove the cells, and recycle them with brand new power cells inside. Once done, they’re tested, cleaned up and they’re as good as new! More importantly… well, this describes the savings best.

Since then, I’ve found that a lot of local mechanics love this place as well, as well as hobbyists. So if you find yourself with a dying or dead car battery that’s beyond redemption, here’s where you go.
