I will buy and use Autozone Duralast Gold products for other peoples repairs. Its not bad for the money. Their batteries have been pretty positive from my experiences. Not great but at least nothing negative. BA dum tssssh... I'll see myself out.
I also forgot that online coupons can save some money. Order online, check for any promos and save an extra $10-20. Drive to store and pickup order. No shipping charges and a possible core charge added on top. Battery sales are rare but they come up once in a while..
Kragen and AutoZone sell pretty much the same brand. I know I have Duralast currently on my Corolla and even DieHard in the past.
I went to Toyota dealership this morning to asked about their battery. Its not OEM just replacement brand called True Start. The OEM battery in the car I checked and it pretty much has no brand but just that it is branded as Toyota Motors........
.
I stop next at Big O Tires but they have Interstate brand and about $140 total. Most of our cars after warranty is over at 25k/2 year I start taking it to Big O Tires for oil change, tire rotation, etc. Beside I've been buying tires from there for years too. I guess I might just get the battery there.
I will check out AutoZone when I picked up my husband from work at 5pm. I like AutoZone and Kragen because with the battery trade in you get like $20-25 off the regular price or back while some place don't do that. I like how they do free testing, installation, etc. unlike the dealership in order for them to check it out there is a disgnosis charge.
