Best experience Ive ever had at an auto shop. Brian is a real one and the most friendly mechanic Ive had the pleasure to work with. They saved me easily a hundred bucks at least giving THEE best price on a new battery AND installation. NOT an easy task for my car either (battery being behind the front headlight & having to literally take the tire off to get to it).These guys really do go above and beyond to give their best and it shows. Could not reccomend them more. Keep up the good work guys!
My 1990 Ford pickup would not start so I heard from my window washer that the battery exchange was a great place to go with a reasonable price and that they are very honest so I tried out Brian. He had the truck for about 3 days trying to figure out why there was no power when you tried to start it and finally he figured it all out. I was pretty amazed and very happy . He was very reasonably priced be priced and a great guy to work with and kept me informed every step of the way. He went above and beyond trying to figure out what was going on with my truck and in the end he did . I am so happy and I would absolutely recommend him!
Called them up a few weeks back looking for a deep cycle battery and inverter for a small off grid solar setup.I had a 12v, 100ah battery pretty firmly in mind. They asked some excellent questions about what I had in mind and then pointed me toward a better option for off grid backup storage, at roughly the same price/wH.Really appreciate how they took the time to carefully answer my questions and choose the best batteries for me.They could have just taken my money and sold me exactly what I asked for even though it was suboptimal, but they didnt. They took the time and provided expert advice to help me understand why a pair of 6v, 224aH batteries were much better for my needs.They also helped me compare prices and capacities and talk through the pros and cons with the other batteries I had in mind.Then they ordered the batteries and inverter from the warehouse and I was able to drive up and pick them up within just a few hours.Really happy with the batteries. Would recommend and will be back if I decide to expand my storage.
Ive driven past Battery X-Change for many years, never before in need of their services, but always enjoying this building as an example of what SE Portland used to be like.A recent set of issues with my car made it necessary to have a professional deal with it, and the kind Local Guides who have reviewed this place before me made it easy to decide on a specialist.A preliminary phone call made it clear that they could help me, and would be able to do so without an appointment. Their layout, with 2 driveup parking spaces under the canopy, made a Covid-distanced rainy day visit perfectly pleasant. The technician was able to work under the hood while I stood by the rear quarter panel, and could easily hear and see his commentary and progress.My car was fixed quickly, without being sold anything unnecessary. Its good to know that helpful experts are still available for traditional car troubles.
Charles was wonderful to help us out so quickly and expertly. He was so kind to give us a discount as we were in a bind when our alternator suddenly gave out. Excellent service! Thank you, Charles!
Charles was awesome. It was so easy to get my Hyundai back up and running. And while I waited, I got to meet Lily, the dog next door. Overall, an incredibly pleasant experience. Highly recommend this place!
I made a review of this place back in May that was somehow removed and I feel strongly enough about how bad the experience was to repost it. The extremely rude employee twice refused to honor a recently purchased battery warrantee and told me my charger was bad. He made me feel stupid, was arrogant, and blamed me for the battery no charging. I bought a bi-mart battery afterwards and havent had a problem since. I will never go here again. My charger is fine.
Got there on the day it was hotter than hot, they were closed when google maps had it posted it was open....hmmmm...it was pretty hot tho lol literally I don’t blame them it was too hot to be trying to sale anything that had to do with a car I was like I’m good LOL. Great place tho
I love this place, awhile ago I went to Jiffy Lube and said my battery needed replacement, so I got a second opinion. Came here and the fella, hooked up his machine checked battery fluids and said it was in good condition. After that, this place has earned my business, just recently brought my different car, this time the battery was the problem after he checked. Affordable pricing and was in and out. Definitely recommend this place to everyone I know or who is reading this review.
Great customer service .Replaced the battery in my Mercedes and it was under seat.Also they were very professional.
I brought my battery in to get tested, and it was in fact going bad. Scott was very helpful in recommending a battery for me and did not pressure me like a salesman. I ended up doing some research on my own that afternoon and came back the next day and purchased an optima red top for my battery. Scott did a great job installing the new battery along with cleaning up the wiring from my harness to the terminal posts and custom fit the battery I wanted. Very happy with the work and warranty optima offers. Highly recommend this location and their services. Thanks guys!
The person that helped me was great and gave me a good deal thank you battery Exchange
Everything they say about these guys is true. Dont hesitate. A great Portland experience.
Very helpful & nice guys here! Affordable car help
The help was very much appreciated! Thank you so much for helping me Charles aka new guy you are absolutely wonderful.
I went to battery exchange today and Charles rocked he got me the perfect battery for what I needed at a amazing price wayyyyyy cheaper than anywhere else and then installed it for me he was fantastic! Definitely come here if you want great product and awesome customer service!!
When in gave my friend and year of car got a battery right away for a very very friendly price I will keep going back because I love their service and remanufactured batteries p just as good
Always the best! Have been using their services for over 20 years and they are straight to the point every time.
Great COVID procedures, quick and friendly service. I walked over to the business with my old battery and got a new one super quick and at a fair price. I would definitely go back again if I needed another car battery.
Very helpful, incredibly nice guy. Shops like this help to restore my faith in humanity during such hostile times.
Quick and efficient. Super friendly and relatively cheap
Super fast friendly service. I was able to stay In my car the whole time.
Swift thorough friendly & affordable
Super quick, polite, and helpful service. Recently had them charge my car battery overnight for a good price.
Very helpful. Quick and easy!
What a great experience. Thanks Scott! Above and beyond.
Great experience. Fair pricing. Was in and out in 10 minutes. Scott took good care of me. Will definitely be back!
Scott was great. I took my car to O’Reily and Les Scwab for advice and the both tried to sell me things I didn’t need. I took it to Scott and he fixed my car FOR NO CHARGE. It was a small battery issue but still, trust these guys over the larger auto shops. 10/10 recommend.
It was great! Fast friendly knowledgeable service.
Thanks for your help today with the mice and the corroded battery connection!! 👍👍
The guy Scott was hella cool! He gave me a good good deal and got me out there fast! Even helped me out on the phone! I’ll be back!
Its weird to say about a battery shop, but this is one of the Portland businesses I most highly recommend! When I was going through a hard time financially, but realized I had to get a new battery, they were extremely professional and kind, helping me find a used battery that I could trade in for full credit toward a new battery within 6 months. I definitely came back and the process was seamless, taking less than 5 minutes each time.Later, my battery kept draining and my door open light kept going on. I could tell it wasnt due to any fault of the battery, so I tried hitting up several repair shops in town but there was a days long wait to be checked out at all of them. In a rush, I stopped by Battery Exchange on a Hail Mary. They looked at my battery for a minute, then came to my door, immediately finding that screws were loose from a repair at another shop. They screwed them tight right away, refused to charge me, and had me on my way in about 5 minutes.Its scary to be strapped and dealing with car trouble. Battery Exchange will treat you with respect and honestly walk you through your options.
Had to go here yesterday after our battery finally failed. Scott helped us and was incredibly speedy and professional. He gave me two price options (with honest pros and cons) and when I opted for the lower price he wasnt pushy. No upselling here, just haggle free service! And when I say speedy, we were in and out in under 7 minutes. Would definitely recommend and Scott will be our go-to for any battery issues.
Quick service, fair rates, and a better functioning cat after.
Great experience; extremely efficient. Pulled in, battery tested, replaced, installed, paid for all in less than 5 minutes. Highly recommend.
Great shop. Great people.
Great place with excellent staff. I couldn’t get my car to start or mange to jump it. Brought the battery down to Battery X-Change and they tested it. Totally dead, bad battery, tons of corrosion, it was all bad. They hooked me up with a replacement battery and a two year warranty with my exchange for around half of what it would have cost anywhere else. They even told me to bring my car down once I got it moving so they could clean the terminals and check my alternator for me. Made it home and she turned turned right over. I brought the whole car back and they cleaned it up and reassured me that my alternator was fine. You can’t beat the service or the price that this place provides. I’ll be back, just hopefully not for a while.
Had a great experience replacing my dead car battery during Corona times! Scott was very helpful, patient, and health conscious through the whole experience.
Excellent customer service. I had a problem with a battery that I previously bought there before. They provided a loaner battery while they diagnosed my battery, which was replaced the following day. Very professional and very quick.
Super fast and friendly service with lots of affordable options!
Easy quick straight to the point and a good deal
The attendant was very friendly and helpful. I got the battery I needed at a fair price. Definitely recommend.
Awesome service, this is my second time going to them. Each time they were quick, very helpful and friendly. They tested my battery and let me use a free loaner battery while recharging the old one overnight. There is absolutely no other place I will ever go to for battery related car troubles. These guys are great.
The technician was extremely helpful and friendly today, installing new RV batteries with the addition of battery watering system I brought.
Fantastic Prices and Amazing Customer Service!!!
Always helpful, quick, friendly and reasonable
Consistently the best prices on used batteries that I have found. They also have an excellent selection and they wont hesitate to help you install it for free. Ive seen people in here getting batteries for motorcycles and RVs but Ive always gotten car batteries which I know they have some of the best selection of
I bought a car with a weak battery. The battery was from BATTERY X-CHANGE. The sticker showed that it was a reconditioned battery that was about 5 months into the warranty. They exchanged it quickly and without hassle for another reconditioned battery. That battery works great; I am very pleased with their service.
Just saved $110 dollars on a battery compared to Walmart. So glad I decided to call around
Always super fast and great to deal with
Very friendly, quick and knowledgeable. They will recycle your old car battery and give you a credit towards a new one, as well as check your alternator. Ended up being much cheaper than I expected, even much cheaper than using AAA battery service. Would highly recommend!
Apparently, previous management was terrible because these guys were great. I went in yesterday, 1-20-16, to buy a used battery. I called beforehand, the battery I needed was charged and ready to be installed. I mentioned I thought I needed new terminal ends, they said they just needed a thorough cleaning. They couldve gotten me for an extra 10 dollars but they are honest and cleaned them at no extra charge. 40 bucks for a used battery with a 6 month warranty. If I wanted a better warranty, I wouldve bought a new battery, dont fault them. I wont hesitate to go back again and tell everyone I know to go there. Thanks Bill and other guy, I didnt catch your name but you guys are awesome. Id rate them 6 stars if I could, yes, they are that professional.
Scott is the man! Super helpful and honest guy. I didn’t know much about batteries and all that stuff but he explained everything to me clear. I also feel like everything here has a good price, so overall left the shop content!
The guy checked my battery, and it was so dead. He replaced it really fast and even cleaned/replaced the wire ends for my stereo which connected to the battery.Great service! I definitely recommend.
Scott is fantastic and he always knows exactly what needs to be done! I’m a big fan of this Battery Xchange and Scott! Completely trustworthy and fully competent! 💐
Amazing. My 2002 Explorer had not started a few times the las few weeks, starting with the heat a few weeks ago. Called and talked to Mike. I got a used battery with a one year warranty and off and running within ten minute. Again... amazing service, great price and a great guy.
Great service and good prices.Scott was fast, efficient, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with!
I went here to get my batteries charged nice location and friendly staff
Friendly, fast and fairly priced!Scott made my trip to Battery X-Change as pleasant as possible, he was helpful, curtious & obviously very experienced. The whole process was quick & painless, especially since their prices are quite competitive.Thanks again Scott and just so you know, I intend to recommend Battery X-Change to all my family & friends.😁 Happy Holidays
Got in there and out in less than 15 minutes with a brand new battery great service I was very happy
Needed a battery quick. Friendly, responsive guy behind the counter quoted me a decent price, told me they give you cash for the old battery, then installed the new battery. We were in and out of there with smiles on our faces in about 20 minutes. Go there when you need a battery!
I’ve been coming to this place for years, and the batteries and service is always excellent.
Took care of everything quickly and efficiently, was very informative, and also took care of another problem that I didnt know I had.
Just a little job but so fast, friendly and efficient. There arent enough stars for this great customer service. Thank you so much.
As a business owner who has trusted Battery Exchange to service my fleet of buses and personal vehicles, I would reccomend them over all other local shops. Scott has been tremendously helpful with everything from my custom projects to basic battery advice and replacement of an alternator, brakes, starter, and cables. If you think theres a chance they might be able to do what you need, they probably will, and are always happy to help.
Fast, friendly, and effective. Patiently explained what he was doing as he troubleshooted and then checked each cell. Even so, was in-and-out within 15 minutes. Best car service experience Ive ever had.
Always Solid service and good prices. Repeat customer.
Excellent place to get a battery! Scott is so helpful and cool that I can overlook him being a Bears fan. *smile
Stopped in today with an emergency - battery was smoking and the voltage regulator was shot. William diagnosed the problem, ordered the part, installed it and checked the system over. He was fast, accurate, and professional even though he was he only person in the store and was being barraged with walk-ins like me all afternoon. Cant recommend him highly enough. Great service!
Scott was so great! I was in and out in literally less than 10 minutes!!! Thanks!!
Thanks to these amazing techs i was able to find out my alternator was broken AGAIN even though i just replaced it 6 months ago (thanks OReillys). Although I made a bad decision by trusting the big-box-car-parts stores I humbly suggest YOU DONT DO THE SAME! just go to these specialist for your Alternator / Battery needs. These people KNOW what they are talking about, they WONT LIE, and they charged me so little for all their knowledge and wisdom i literally had to BEG the guy to double charge me for his time and service (which he still didnt).Point is dont trust the minimum wage puppets who dont know the difference between an AMP and a WATT... just save yourself all the headaches with the lifetime warranty on sup-part parts I have had and go to Battery X-change.
Great place to work and great place to get your battery replaced ested
Definitely would recommend this place they do oil changes timing belt and basic mechanics and have just about any battery you would ever want allso windshield wipers they have great customer service but you may have to wait a little bit if you just drop in definitely recommend you make an appointment
These Guys are Great, they are honest and have the knowledge. This is where everyone should get help with their batteries. Its Time for a Battery Exchange. Thanks Guys.
If you need a battery come see these guys first dont waste your time going anywhere else super fast they know what theyre talking about and you cannot beat their prices hands down best prices around.
It was excellent as usual they know what theyre doing and give good recommendations
Omg! They are so reasonable. I was in need of a battery with a few bucks to spare and God was good because they hooked me up!
Cole is top notch! He charged me ZERO for spending over an hour checking for every possible reason my car would not start over the recent ice storm fiasco. This guy is trustworthy and gets to the crux. Thank you, Cole, Richard Rizk
Needed a new battery. In and out in less than 5 minutes. Great service!
This dude had my battery out and replaced in 5 min. I was out of there in maybe 7 min. Awesome...
The man that works there scott, he broke my head light casing and wrapped the wire round battery bolt so when i drove my truck later that night it caught fire. They refused to pay me for the damages they caused and scott lied in arbertration under oth. This has got to be the worst place in the world to go. Make sure and go any place but here its horriable!! If i could have i would have not given any stars at all.
Great service but I never received payment in the mail. That was about. 2 weeks ago. Whats wrong with that
Great, quick service. Will definitely take my car back in the future.
Good prices, super fast service!Thank you!
Got me the cheapest battery at the best price installed and on my way in a short time
In at 8:15am out by 8:22am.Since I had already called in late to work I went and got breakfast with the time saved. Outstanding service at a fair price.
I took my 94 Toyota pickup there for a new alt belt and it cost $55 to replace and instal (in 06-2011). they are rough around the edges, but seem to know what they were doing and I didnt have to wait long. I liked the service I got this time and that I have had in the past.
Super fast and professional with great price options.
Quick easy, fair price. Checked the battery before recommending replacement. I was in and out in about 7 minutes.
They were very helpful and nice
They are awesome in and out no prob.
What Awsome service. Will come here when i need service with my cars battery again
Friendly fast service with an honest approach to good business. Competitive pricing and great location in the heart of the city!
There are a bunch of liars that are reviewing this place...I had to check for myself...an F- by the BBB? if you remember?This business has a B-Anyone can go on and check for themselves.
Emergency battery and alternator issue that they were able to correct incredibly quickly with great customer service. The part for the alternator appears to be bad so well see how well their warranty work is.
Service here is excellent. I pulled in, my battery was tested, exchanged, and new wiper blades installed in under 10 minutes.
Always very helpful, nice guys. Great prices!
Perfect place to get service done and very good people, and great prices
Good prices and polite workers. Also, they will take old car batteries and give you a few bucks for them
