Batteries Plus Bulbs

I went here to get my battery replaced for my Tissot watch. The guy at the check in took my watch and said it would be $ 7. After waiting in the store for around 10 min, he approached me and said, «I can’t get the back of the watch back on». After speaking with his manager, he said they would give it back to me or they would send the watch to a jewelry store in Escondido for me. I opted to have them send it to the jewelry store. When I came back to pick it up, he showed me the old gasket that had gone bad and said, «Hope you have a good day.» No charge for the battery. No charge for taking the watch to Escondido. No charge for the jeweler’s work or the new gasket.

I came in looking for a unique bulb. The one they had was slightly different, but the young man at the counter explained to me how the watts and voltage work and that it would be comparable. I was afraid it would blow the bulb or ruin the fixture, but it didn’t. It even works better then the old bulb!
I didn’t get a chance to try out the bulb right away actually, since I left it on the counter by accident after paying for it! When I got home I called and the young man who helped me said he already put it aside with my name on it. I couldn’t make it for a little over a week, but luckily it was still held by the time I finally got there. The young man was super sweet and a delight to talk to.

My wife took her watch in before Christmas to have a the battery replaced. During the process two employees struggled to close the watch case after replacing the battery. They ended up breaking off the stem. They said they would have it repaired in a few days & call when it came in. Over a month later, she is still waiting. She has checked back a couple times & it is still not ready. Avoid this place if you need a watch battery replaced unless it’s very routine.
Update: Feb 12 2016 still no word

I called this place earlier and was helped over the phone by a guy named Anthony. He was extremely helpful and totally took care of me.
When I showed up Brennan helped me out. I was totally clueless and needed help with a few things, and Brennan was not only helpful, but made me feel like less of an idiot. Because of the great customer service I was showed by these employees I will definitely be back.

Long day today between Dr appointments and tearing out the large and very heavy 8D batteries to get a power charge on them. Thank you guys Duke and Steve at Batteries + in Vista for taking the time to help pull the batteries out… test and heavy charge them. You guys rock!

Awesome customer service every visit, Austin helped me this last time and regardless of my frustration with my phone battery he helped me and got me situated with a positivr vibe the whole time! They got a customer for life!

Austin, the manager, opened the store 10 minutes early for me and another client. He was very knowledgeable about what my business’ lighting requirements were.

Local sources did not have the battery I needed for alarm system. I called Batteries Plus and they knew, over the phone, exactly what I needed. I drove there, showed him the old battery, got the new one and was out in 10 minutes. Terrific! KL

I’ve been here many times over the years to get batteries that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. I drive a ’63 Studebaker Lark (no jokes, please) and it has a battery style that you can’t pick up at Costco; Batteries Plus has them in stock. When I needed a custom NiCad pack for a piece of vintage Rolleiflex photo flash gear, they built me one while I waited. T-​Moble no longer carries the battery pack for my wife’s 2-​year-​old cell phone (!), but Batteries Plus has ‘em in back.
If you’re looking for a pack of AAs for cheap, to go Harbor Freight. But for those hard-​to-​find rechargeables or other oddities, come straight here — they’ll fix you up.

These guys are very helpful. I have been there four times now so I should have wrote them a review awhile back. I just went in there a couple days for a battery for my watch and a battery for my generator. The gentlemen actually installed the battery for my generator at no charge. Twice they have done that. Thanks again guys!

Replaced car battery in my son’s car. Checked the old one first. Explained the warranties and different batteries available. Great service, got a discount from list price. Bought a car battery last month for the wife’s car. I am a happy repeat customer.

@BatteriesPlus shamefully charges twice the price for batteries… #PriceGouging … Was in the Vista BatteriesPlus store yesterday to buy small batteries for a house smoke detector. They charged $ 12.99 for a pack of 2, but when I went to the grocery store right after that, they had them for $ 5.99… I returned my unused batteries to BatteriesPlus and complained about the ridiculous price, so the guy offered to discount them to 5 bucks… Nah, keep your batteries. Don’t like your style… Picture of receipt is posted to their Unilocal site…

I went in to purchase a new battery for my sons race car. Duke helped me find the battery and connect it to the box that goes into the race car while talking to my 3year old son about flashlights. What service! Thank you Duke!

Don’t trust them. I bought batteries for a golf cart and they never charged. I brought the cart to them 5 times and they would tell me it was something else that was wrong. I would then do what they said which always had a price. They never once said the batteries were bad. I finally took the cart to a shop that I trusted in Orange County and they said the batteries were cheap quilts that you would get at kmart or Walmart. When I called the shop the manager said he does not have a time machine to go back to all the times I brought the cart into to get worked on so he can not do anything. He did offer me $ 10 off retail price on new batteries for the golf cart.
This has also happened or a razor quad, and a boat battery.
I am done buying batteries from them. I have spent thousands of dollars over the years their and will never recommend or step foot in there again.
Even if I had a time machine. I am not going back there.
DO NOT SHOP AT BATTERIES PLUS. They will always tell you the battery is bad and just sell you a new one

I went in there this weekend in search of a light bulb with an unusual connector. When I walked in there was a young man sitting behind the counter near the front door, I asked him if they carried the type of light bulb I was in search of? He barely could give me the time of day, and said he guessed he could look it for me and continued working on the phone in front of him. He never asked to see the light bulb or even look it up for me when I said ok. So I asked him where would the light bulb be if they had it in the store and pointed to an isle and said to look there. When I explained I could not tell which light bulb was which he yelled from his seat by the front door there were pictures on the boxes. I couldn’t see what I was looking for nor did I see any pictures of the connectors. He would not get up and help me, and the other sales person was busy helping someone. So I walked up to to tell him I couldn’t tell which one I needed but he didn’t see care. So I told him I was leaving and would another store that was willing to help me. He did nothing to stop me. I won’t be back.

I’ve used this place to replace my car and watch battery and both times I got great service and their prices were very competitive. Appreciate the great service and you count that I will come back.

I used to send clients here until an employee named Trenton swapped out his bad remote for my good one. Then wanted a refund saying he couldn’t afford it. Shady indeed, after many emails back and forth I’m only left to give back what you gave to us!

Every time I go to Batteries Plus Bulbs in Vista, CA, I always get help with whatever battery or bulb problems I have. The staff is well-​informed and very friendly. They always have a resolution for my electronic queries. I know I can count on their expertise.
Recently, I went to the store, and was lucky to have Brennan wait on me. I brought in about six items, and within a few minutes he had tested and changed batteries and tested and ordered new bulbs. I don’t know what I would do without the terrific staff at Batteries Plus Bulbs. Kudos to you all.

I needed a replacement battery for my Volvo S40. Brought the old battery in.
They had an exact fit replacement with 5 year warranty for $ 121. Beat everyone everyone else’s price including the big ‘W’. Service was excellent and the took my old battery.
Very happy with my experience!

My dog, Joey, wears a little electronic collar that allows him to go in and out of the house by opening his dog door with an electronic signal. The collar is small and it’s not easy getting the little battery in and out.
I always go to this Batteries Plus store because they take as much care and give as much attention to a little $ 3 sale as they do to a bigger sale. The guys there always put in the battery for me, while Joey waits patiently.
They have everything in this store, and because they help me with the dog collar, I buy all my batteries here. Good customer service = one loyal customer.
