It was suggested to me to go to Interstate Batteries on Franklin in Meridian - that they would 'treat me right'. I gave them 2 interstate RV batteries AND a optima battery to be told I would only get $.12/lb for the batteries - really? I needed to replace the Optima, so the salesman gave me another Optima to charge me $300. I should have taken the time to look online and get the battery else where. I could have saved any where between $25 and $50 and got a return on the core charge for the replacement! Sorry Interstate - never again.
My battery in my ford flex died on us. Luckily we were near an interstate battery store. David confirmed my fears by testing it. He then sold and installed our new battery very professionally and quickly. Awesome experience
We have bought 2 batteries now from this store. But today the sales/installer went above and beyond all our expectations.
Our vehicle battery box was a rather challenging job. Thank you.
Customers now for all our needs.
I had a very good experience at this battery store. I went in to purchase two group 65 batteries. I asked questions and received good advice. When I was about to leave the parking lot, I was reminded that my change was still on the counter by the young man on duty. I forgot his name but I asked him if he was the store manager and he said yes. Anyway, his honesty over a mere $26.99 in change left on his counter has impressed me!! That $ 26.99 in change may not seem like a lot to many but it tells me that this young man’s integrity cannot be bought. I will continue to purchase all my batteries from this store. They aren’t the cheapest batteries on the planet but I’m in the market for really good batteries whatever the cost.
UGH, best experience possible! I'm not a car or battery guy at all, to no degree is this something I'm really aware of, and Meiko here helped me out so much! Super well equipped to take away my exploded battery and made sure to neutralize the acid present in my car, even gave me a little powder to check later for any remaining acid after I give my trunk a rinse! Top tier! Would recommend!
Great product and service at a good price. Meiko took great care when installing my battery. He thoroughly cleaned and treated the terminals and cables. I'll be back for future purchases. Highly recommend this business.
I stopped in the store to get a battery for my dump trailer. While I was there they tested the batteries in my pickup, which were five years old. They were beginning to fail also. The store had all three batteries in stock, at a reasonable price. During our conversation I discovered they offer a veterans discount, and although I had already agreed to purchase the batteries they took a significant amount off the price. Good service and local. What more could you ask for...
Updated, I needed batteries for another pickup two days after my first experience. Everything went well with that visit also...
Came in and got my battery and alternator tested. Tech was super helpful and friendly. I even brought in another battery to get tested as well free of charge. They were both bad so I ended up buying both batteries here and I will buy my next batteries here as well
I would like to say that my visit to interstate batteries was awesome, Mieko the associate who helped me was awesome there was no one in there when I went there but many people followed. I had two batteries for him to change in my truck he never missed a step he'd go out bring one battery in help some customers who followed me in, he'd be taking a battery out to my truck and help the people that were in there and did the same thing with the last battery very friendly very fast, very efficient ,it was a pleasure having this experience as a business it was above and beyond what he did .thank you so much for the wonderful experience you've got a customer for life Jerry King
Amazing customer service here. We had an unconventional battery system in our van that needed to be replaced and they were able to find us a solution and get us the batteries we needed very quickly. Excellent service that goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend coming here for any battery needs!
Every-time I come to interstate battery the gentlemen are so kind and happy to help me with my issues. Meiko and Joe helped me on separate occasions and are great and thorough!
Great customer service. We love the longevity of Interstate batteries and thought it might be time for a new one when our car wasn’t starting. Joe checked it out and it still tested good . He charged and retested our battery and was very pleasant to work with. Great customer service after the sale !
The Caldwell Interstate Battery store is great. My third battery purchase from them was a great experience. They didn't have my battery in stock but transferred one the next day from another store and called me when it came in.
Very friendly staff and quality that is guaranteed.
I give interstate battery in meridian 5 stars. Very helpful and great customer service. I give interstate battery in Caldwell 2 stars. I called Caldwell IB for them to get a battery ready for me to pick up in 30 minutes. When I arrived to pick it up, the sales person stated he just sold it to someone else. Happens it was the only one in stock.
Awesome awesome awesome! Walked in to get my car battery checked out. Guy came out and found my battery was just fine but was super corroded. Been to the dealership twice and they never fixed it or mentioned it. The guy that check my battery said he would get the tools and clean it off for me. Absolute great customer service. We will definitely be coming back again and again. Thank you!!
Needed help with a faulty battery that was sold to me at a private repair shop in Ada County. I called the repair shop that sold the battery to me, they stated they weren't able to help at all. They said they had no record of selling the battery to me a few months prior. Rather than escalate the situation I called Interstate Battery in Caldwell. Best decision EVER! I now have a new battery that works well. Thanks to everyone at Interstate for your help!
I purchased an ATV battery this may, 2019. The manager added the water to the battery. I stood there watching him while doing this. The battery set in my shop approximately 4 months, until I was able to get the ATV to a mechanic. The mechanic charge the battery. The battery would start the ATV initially, if it took more than three tries the battery was completely discharged. I take the battery with the original box and receipt to the Caldwell Interstate Battery Store. I spoke with the employee and manager. I was shocked at the manager accused me of bringing in a battery not from Interstate. He said they have other people try to do that. I pointed out to them the box and the receipt. I was shocked that he was accusing me of being a liar I cannot in good faith recommend Interstate Battery, and definitely not the Caldwell Interstate Battery Store. I would recommend Bi-Mart, or Les Schwab's,
Yes we bought a battery , the kid told my husband they price match if we found lower. Then we took old battery back for core charge credit , they said we didn’t pay one. Got home on receipt says $16 core charge . So another trip to your store to get our $16 dollars back . And wS told then no price match is done ... false misleading information . Costco shad dame one for like $80 bucks!!!
I went into the store today convinced I needed a new battery for my camper, but Chris asked me to bring in the camper to see for sure if that was the case. After some testing he figured out the problem was in my electrical panel. All the guys I've dealt with at this store have been friendly and professional, but Chris went way above and beyond what I expected. It was deeply appreciated; associates like him make Interstate Battery the best value around. Thank-you so much!!!
What an amazing experience I had here!! My car battery was completely dead, unable to take a charge or jump and in my garage at home. I called to see if delivery service is something they do and was told it is not but after telling my dilemma to an employee, Chris,, he said not to worry, he would help me and come after he got off work and take care of it!! He actually came to my home after work on his own time, delivered me a new battery, took out my old, and installed the new (which I had the money in cash for), asking only that I pay the kindness forward someday to someone in need. Now that is above and beyond the call of duty to help out a person in need and you know that is the type of customer service I believe they look for when hiring their staff. They have my business and referrals for life!
Justin that works at this location literally saved my day my battery died in the parking lot in my truck and he was able to give me a good enough deal that could run on my credit card so I was able to leave the location. A+++ service Super reliable thanks.
These folks were great. They let me use their tools and then covered the cost of the battery on warranty when they really didn't have to. Very nice folks. Thanks.
Amazing Service. I had a concern about my camper Battery & Not only did they check it out, they were Honest and knowledgeable about my problem. I followed their recommendation and my battery is back to working great. Thank you for the advice and not just selling me another Battery A+
